cloud-runner Mottling Meter |
Control and guarantee a uniform
finish - no more mottling!
Irregular lightness variations are objectively measured with BYK-Gardner's newest innovation: the cloud-runner simulates visual evaluation under different observing angles and characterizes clouds / mottles by their size and visibility.
Objective and reliable values for
QC and trouble shooting
- Small to large mottles are measured under three observing angles
- Scan length can be varied from 10 to 100 cm
- Objective measurement results independent of color and curvature

Features
- Ideal tool for the production line
- Small and light weight - easy to handle
- For flat and curved areas, radius > 50 cm
- Easy, menu guided operation via scroll wheel and large, multilingual display
- Full statistics with ability to save in selectable memories
- Large memory for 1000 readings
- USB port for data transfer to PC
- smart-chart software:
- Organizer files for sample id
- Data management with SQL Database
- Standard QC Report
- The mottle meter 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.

Training for cloud-runner
More than just an instrument. Get assistance in operating the cloud-runner system and understanding your
mottle readings. As a result you will be able to use the mottling
meter to save time and money and at the same time improve your
quality. Therefore, the instrument comes with a one day training
course including:
- Mottling Theory
- Visual perception and instrumental measurement of
Mottling / Cloudiness
- Data interpretation: How can the readings be used to
optimize process and material parameters
- Operation and Software Training
- Set-up of an "Organizer" to create a routine measurement
procedure
- Programming of the instrument with "organizer" and
measurement of several samples
- Direct data transfer to Excel for documentation of individual
readings
- Data transfer to smart-chart software and saving in a
database for routine QC
- Data analysis
The training can be performed in one day or two half days. It is
recommended to split the training into two half days:
- Day 1: Theory and basic operation (set-up organizer,
taking readings and saving data in a database)
- Day 2: 3-4 weeks later to ensure readings were taken and
saved in a database. Data analysis and standard
QC reports can be explained using customer
specific data.
