Accurate monitoring of high-tech coatings – Efficient testing along the whole line
Today, paint manufacturers develop highly complex paint systems with optimized properties for the respective application. On the other hand, the specifications of such high-tech coatings must be adhered to ever more accurate to ensure that they deliver consistent quality. Due to the complexity of such paint systems, the coating thickness of the high-tech paints must be checked as early as possible in the process.
OptiSense has developed a unique expertise in high-tech coating thickness testing that exceeds even the most stringent specifications and highest quality requirements of your clients.

Stoz measures wet paint on chrome prior to baking
Whether piano finish, metallic effects or anti-slip coatings: Painting on chrome is a particular challenge - especially when it comes to accurately checking the coating thickness in the wet state. The management team at Stoz GmbH, Managing Director Maximilian Stoz and department heads Holger Salzmann, Jürgen Andrusch and Steffen Fessele, explain how they accomplished this with the PaintChecker Mobile.
OptiSense sensors celebrate Halloween for the very first time
Halloween goes back to a pre-Christian tradition and refers to the evening before All Hallows' Eve. And although the Celtic festival is already some 2500 years old, our PaintChecker Line and Angle industrial sensors are experiencing the creepy night for the very first time - obviously, since the latest additions to our sensor family have just been launched on the market.
Thanks to their robust industrial housing, the new generation of OptiSense PaintChecker Industrial Line laser sensors can be operated even under harshest environmental conditions. The optimized thermal design enables continuous operation at high measurement rates of up to 2.5 Hz.
The laser sensors meet IP 50 rating, weigh 330 g and measure 38 x 36 x 104 mm for the PaintChecker Line and 77 x 36 x 65 mm for the PaintChecker Angle sensor.
Coating thickness sensors with built-in time saver
The commissioning of measurement and test equipment in a coating plant should be as simple and efficient as possible. In the sensor industry, too, there are solutions that speed up the job of design engineers and installers. An example are the industrial sensors from OptiSense with a completely new design that eliminates the need for any mounting bracket. It saves time during installation and simplifies assembly.
