Orange Peel and DOI measurement on high to semi gloss surfaces.
… appearance control is no longer limited to final topcoat inspection.

 |
Close the appearance control loop for the entire paint process
Thus, the surface quality after each paint process step can be objectively evaluated. No more guessing which substrate layer is influencing the final appearance. The wave-scan dual will help you to objectively analyze appearance problems and reduce the time necessary for trouble shooting.
wave-scan dual and wave-scan II – a diagnostic tool for trouble shooting and optimizing appearance Now, you can establish appearance specifications for each paint layer to ensure the final appearance is always on target.
| Example: Influence of Steel Quality |
|
 |
| Step 1: Appearance Control after E-coat | Step 2: Appearance Control after Primer Surfacer |
 |
 |
| Same E-coat system was applied on rough and smooth steel. The influence of rougher steel can be seen in increased Wb and Wc-values. | The primer surfacer was applied on both panels. The roughness of the steel quality can still be detected in increased Wb and Wc- values. This primer system could not completely cover the steel influence. |
Step 3: Appearance Control after Topcoat |
|
 |
wave-scan dual – a diagnostic tool for trouble shooting and optimizing appearance. Now, you can establish appearance specifications for each paint layer to ensure the final appearance is always on target. |
| The final appearance shows higher shortwave values on the rougher steel panel. Therefore, the smooth panel will appear more brilliant. |

Always ready
The instrument is operated with a rechargeable battery pack (Li-Ion). The docking station automatically charges the battery pack and transfers the measured data to the PC.
Optionally, the instrument can be operated with 3 standard mignon alkaline or rechargeable batteries - good for 1000 readings.
