COATMASTER 510 (also available in Basic-G and Basic-V versions)
The Film Applicator and Drying Time Recorder COATMASTER 510, enhanced successor of the worldwide established COATMASTER 509 MC, is a compact combined film application and testing instrument equipped with a foil keyboard, and performing two basic functions if the appropriate accessories are selected:

• The use as a high-precision film applicator
• The determination of the degree of dryness in accordance with DIN 53 150 and the performance of comparative drying tests.

The microprocessor-controlled, precisely graded step motor drive engineering guarantees an extremely uniform accomplishment as well as an excellent repeatability of all processes set.

• Variable application path up to approx. 400 mm.
• Inpidually programmable start position.
• Freely selectable drawn down speed in the range of 0.1 – 19.9 / 20 - 100 mm/s.
• Automatic quick return by key press.
• Film applicator symmetrically working in both directions.
• Freely adjustable drying times in the range of 0.1 - 19.9 / 20 - 108 min/cm.

For fixing the substrates, an ejector attachment (vacuum generator to be operated with compressed air) for connection to all vacuum suctions plates available for Model 510, is already integrated into the basic unit.


Purpose and Application
A motorised film applicator is used in cases where

• A surface has to be covered with an absolutely uniform film
• Reliable information is needed on the relationship between the wet and the dry film thickness
• A large number of exactly identical samples has to be produced.

All kinds of inevitable inaccuracies when applying films manually, are avoided by using the automatic drawing method.
Often, the particularly accurate and repeatable specification of the COATMASTER 510 confirms its cross-industry potential of usability for demanding and sensitive application requirements; e.g. application of slurries in the production of anode foils in battery research, preparation of transdermal patches in pharmacy R & D, application of thin semiconductor layers in photovoltaic R & D, etc.


Typical users are
The lacquer and paint industry, especially for the research / development / quality control of many different products.
Generally universities / academies as well as institutes studying high sensitive facts within the scope of their research and development projects requiring an optimally controlled film application, i.e. in the research of solar cells, fuel cells and accumulators as well as in the medical technology and research.
The parallel drying time test allows objective comparisons of the drying properties of different coating materials.


COATMASTER 510 XL
The COATMASTER 510 XL film applicator and drying tester is a combined film applicator and tester with membrane keypad that fulfils two basic functions by using the appropriate accessories:

• Use as a high-precision film applicator.
• For determining the degree of dryness in accordance with DIN 53 150 and for comparative drying tests.

The microcontroller-controlled, finely graduated stepper motor drive technology ensures exceptionally smooth operation and excellent repeatability of all set sequences.

• Variable working length up to 800 mm.
• Inpidually programmable start position.
• Freely adjustable drawing speeds in the range of 0.1 - 19.9 /20 - 100 mm/s.
• Automatic fast rewind at the touch of a button.
• Film applicator works symmetrically in both directions.
• Freely adjustable drying test times in the range of 0.1 - 19.9 / 20 - 108 min/cm.

An ejector attachment (vacuum generator operated with compressed air) for connection to all vacuum suction plates offered for substrate fixation for model 510 XL is already integrated in the basic device.
