Brought to you by SpecMetrix, our specialist coating brand, dedicated to innovative coating thickness measurement tools.
The SpecMetrix® ACS Systems are our most advanced and precise container coating thickness and film weight measurement system, specifically for metal packaging containers. They have broad application capabilities for coated metal can manufacturers and the coating suppliers that support them. In particular, the ACS line is ideal for measuring the interior and exterior coatings of cans.
The SpecMetrix® ACS Systems are configured to meet your specific can plant needs. From flexible single can models and plant-floor ready systems, we offer a semi-automated non-contact solution that delivers highly precise film weight data that supports your intended process control, QA or claims review uses.
The ACS-1 System can measure the coatings of single cans, using either a 90° or flexible angle probe, and is well suited for container QA, R&D and coating supplier use.
In either case, both the ACS-1 provide users with the highest level and volume of precise film weight and coating thickness measurement data from non-contact, non-destructive and real-time measurement of all applied can coatings.
The SpecMetrix® ACS Systems are highly accurate and provide instant measurement and mapping capabilities, allowing users to improve coating process control by streamlining plant processes, optimize spray and roller set-ups, changeover and inspection times, while reducing coating consumption.
All SpecMetrix ACS Systems provide real-time measurements and mapping of single or dual coatings, over-varnish, inside spray, rim coats, UV hardcoat, base coats, wash coat and other container coatings.
Through the use of the precise and patented SpecMetrix ROI optical technology, users can obtain complete coating thickness measurement data for their metal packaging products. Whether it be for interior spray coatings, OV or other external coatings, our exclusive technology enables plan teams to obtain more precise coating measurements through non-contact and non-destructive means.
The technology is safe too – non-radioactive, non-contact and non-invasive. Our patented, exclusive optical technology is highly advanced and relied upon throughout multiple global industrial markets.
An integral part to measurement analysis, our user-friendly software package stores all measurement data to Excel® or interfaces to plant networks for SPC analysis during or after production runs, thereby eliminating the chance of manual errors.
In addition, our software allows you to have complete visual analysis of your coatings and film weight distribution, by providing 2D and 3D topographical color-coded contour maps and more.
We can offer fully automated systems too. Contact us to find out more about the automated SpecMetrix-based solutions for existing or new can coating production lines, by utilizing an SpecMetrix powered system with conveyor and exit systems to measure your container coatings without stopping or changeover.
With our advanced technology, fillers and brand owners are also able to verify supplier container quality or diagnose potential coating thickness or film weight issues.
With precise data on coating thickness measurements, this allows you to accelerate sample testing and significantly improve QA analysis. Ultimately, so you can have greater insights into the optimum amount of coating for your substrates and make cost savings.
