FAQs

Why $is$ $it$ $important$ $to$ $measure$ $powder$ $coating$ $thickness$ $before$ $curing$ ?

Measuring $uncured$ $powder$ $thickness$ $allows$ $inspectors$ $to$ $make$ $adjustments$ $immediately$ , $ensuring$ $the$ $final$ $cured$ $film$ $meets$ $specifications$ . $This$ $reduces$ $powder$ $waste$ , $improves$ $quality$ , $and$ $avoids$ $the$ $costly$ $rework$ $required$ $if$ $the$ $measurement$ $is$ $only$ $taken$ $after$ $curing$ .

What $is$ $the$ $specified$ $measurement$ $range$ $and$ $accuracy$ $of$ $the$ $PosiTest$ $PC$ ?

The $PosiTest$ $PC$ $measures$ $in$ $the$ $range$ $of$ $20$ $to$ $100$ $µm$ $(0.8$ $to$ $4.0$ $mils)$ $with$ $an$ $accuracy$ $of$ $\pm5$ $µm$ $(\pm0.2$ $mil)$ $(based$ $on$ $TGIC$ – $Free$ $polyester$ $powder)$ .

Is $the$ $PosiTest$ $PC$ $suitable$ $for$ $automated$ $or$ $on$ – $line$ $applications$ ?

Yes. $The$ $PosiTest$ $PC$ $is$ $designed$ $for$ $fast$ $measurement$ $and$ $has$ $the$ $capability$ $to$ $stream$ $data$ $via$ $its$ $USB$ $port$ $using$ $USB$ $Keyboard$ $Mode$ , $allowing$ $it$ $to$ $be$ $integrated$ $into$ $automated$ , $on$ – $line$ $inspection$ $systems$ $with$ $appropriate$ $fixturing$ .

Can $the$ $PosiTest$ $PC$ $measure$ $thickness$ $on$ $small$ $tubes$ $or$ $oddly$ $shaped$ $parts$ ?

Yes. $The$ $instrument$ $features$ $improved$ $sensor$ $technology$ $and$ $a$ $Target$ $Grid$ $for$ $precise$ $alignment$ , $which$ $makes$ $it$ $easier$ $to$ $take$ $accurate$ $measurements$ $on$ $small$ $parts$ $and$ $surfaces$ $with$ $complex$ $geometries$ .

What $power$ $source$ $does$ $the$ $instrument$ $use$ ?

The $PosiTest$ $PC$ $operates$ $on$ $four$ $“AAA”$ $alkaline$ $batteries$ $(included)$ , $providing$ $approximately$ $16$ $hours$ $of$ $continuous$ $measurement$ . $It$ $can$ $also$ $be$ $powered$ $continuously$ $via$ $its$ $USB$ $port$ .
