Two-angle glossmeter GLOSSMASTER ONLINE 507

onlinewith data output

Description
Consistent surface quality during production and processing of surface-treated materials (paper, plastics, metal or wood) is essential. Variations in gloss can stem from manufacturing defects, supplier changes or material fluctuations and often cause quality complaints or rejections. The GLOSSMASTER ONLINE 507 provides objective, inline gloss assessment to detect deviations and ensure uniform finish.

Application example – laminated parquet factory
Equipment

• GLOSSMASTER ONLINE 507-60° (basic version), including:
  • 60° measuring head, measuring distance 10 mm, incl. sensor for scanning the test surface
• Mounting adapter
• Supply and display unit with HMI touch panel
• Reference input for min./max. gloss values and average value display
• Alarm lamp signals if the limit values are exceeded
• Time lag of 0 - 3 s to prevent minor deviations from actuating the signal

Application
The GLOSSMASTER 507-60° ONLINE measuring head is installed in the production line directly after the UV drying unit. The gloss measurement controls the applied coating quantity; exceeding set gloss values triggers an external alarm. ONLINE gloss measurement is the final control step before packing and palletizing.

Advantages of the equipment

• Continuous inline measurement eliminates the need for individual sample removal and laboratory gloss testing.
• Reduces costs by avoiding faulty batches, coating and material waste, and potential rework.

Application example – galvanizing shop
Equipment

• GLOSSMASTER ONLINE 507-60° (basic version), including:
  • 60° measuring head, measuring distance 10 mm, incl. sensor for scanning the test surface
• Supply and display unit with HMI touch panel
• Distance piece for maintaining the measuring distance
• Analogue output (option)

Application
In a galvanizing line the GLOSSMASTER monitors the outcome of the pickling process on zinc sheets (e.g., gutter material), enabling adjustment of pickling time. ONLINE colour measurement can run in the same sequence to monitor bath composition and concentration.

Advantages of the equipment

• Pickling is regulated based on gloss and standard colour values.
• Eliminates extensive and costly single measurements by enabling continuous inline control.
• Saves material and rework costs and prevents scrap through early detection of process deviations.

Special features of ONLINE gloss measurements

• Non-contact, continuous gloss measurement during production, coating or finishing for in-process quality control
• Automatic calibration available as an option
• Alarm signal on exceeding prescribed min./max. tolerances
• Choice of gloss measurement geometries: 20° or 60°
