SI9600 Coating Thickness Gauge

Rapid and accurate measurement of lacquer film thickness (film weight) of internal and external coatings on beverage and food cans or flat sheets

If coating thickness (weight) measurements suffer from a degree of variation, you have to err on the safe side when applying coatings in order to be sure that target weights are met. Therefore a percentage of unnecessary coating is always being applied. With reliable measurements from Sencon's coating thickness probes, the coating process can be brought under tighter control.

  • Accurate readings
  • Rapid, semi-automatic operation
  • Better operating efficiencies
  • Reduced lacquer consumption
  • Improved product quality
  • Use with a Sencon Coatings Probe

195SI9600SI9600HF*High Frequency Coating Thickness Gauge for use with SI9560 probe

Please Note: To use this gauge you will also need a suitable coatings probe such as Sencon's SI9651 for testing flat sheets, SI9507 for formed cans, or SI9560 for formed aerosols and tubes.
*The SI9600HF is a special variant of the SI9600 Coatings Thickness Gauge that uses a higher frequency test current which is needed for the smaller surface area of the SI9560 formed tube probes tips.

Reduces unproductive operator time and allows quicker machine setups

ACCURATE READINGS

The gauge is first calibrated to a known coating sample of the type being tested. Comparative test readings are then highly accurate with excellent repeatability.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Once calibrated, the operator only has to put the probe on the product in the test location. The SI9600 then automatically checks for stability, takes and displays the reading, and sends results via RS232 serial port.

BETTER OPERATING EFFICIENCIES 

Rapid yet accurate operation reduces unproductive operator time and allows quicker machine setups.

REDUCED LACQUER CONSUMPTION 

Exact calibration, improved accuracies, and precise film weight data leads to improved control and potentially lower film weight targets.

IMPROVED PRODUCT QUALITY 

Reliable readings allow coating or spray equipment to be setup much closer to the required specifications.

LOWER SPOILAGE 

Rapid operation allows more frequent tests at no additional cost. Problems and trends can be identified earlier, reducing spoilage.

OPTIONAL DATA BRIDGE

For non compatible SPC systems, an optional application SX1000 is available which converts serial data to .CSV files
