DOIhazedigital

Product overview
The Rhopoint IQ FLEX Glossmeter with external measurement head is a reference instrument for measuring the reflective appearance of paints and coatings, widely used in automotive and marine coatings. The IQ FLEX 20 records a full goniophotometric curve to deliver gloss, reflectance haze and orange-peel metrics (DOI/RIQ) in a single, fast measurement. The compact FLEX 20 measurement head is specifically designed for small parts, curved surfaces and hard-to-reach areas.

Applications and adaptability

• Three spot sizes available: 6 mm, 4 mm and 2 mm for small parts and curved geometries
• Magnetically attached adapter plates for repeatable positioning on small components
• Custom adapters can be 3D printed from CAD models for fixture-specific measurement jigs
• Non-contact plates for in-line and automated measurement systems

Features

• Small measurement heads for small or curved parts
• High-resolution colour display with auto-rotation and 6-button touch interface
• Onboard statistics and graphical trend analysis
• USB results download to PC without software installation; Bluetooth data transfer
• User-definable batch descriptions and >999 reading memory
• Single-button capture for fast, simultaneous measurement of all parameters
• Rechargeable lithium‑ion battery; mains/USB operation; ~4 h recharge
