Inline digital glossmeter

Optical quality assurance of surfaces using gloss measuring technology in your production line

The appearance of your product’s surface—no matter the material—determines its attractiveness, influences its functionality and conveys its premium value by showcasing the quality of your operations to customers. As a result, surface gloss and haze are product attributes that are precisely specified and tightly controlled in production.

Inline digital glossmeter by Proceq enables product manufacturers to monitor quality – automatically and continuously. The rugged, compact and ultra-fast probe packs Swiss Made optics and electronics, paired with sophisticated Stray Light Compensation algorithms and a rich set of features. Integrate the probe into your production line a get immediate quality data.

A versatile probe for easy integration

Inline digital glossmeter probe has been designed from the ground up to bring comfort to gloss testing processes, no matter the surface being tested or the environment it is tested in.

The brushed-aluminum casing features convenient mounting holes for easy attachment to your production equipment (e.g. robot arm). The built-in targeting laser can be used together with the side-view of the measuring spot to make positioning accurate.

An easy to use serial protocol allows a fast integration into your production system. The ASCII string-based protocol gives you full control over the instrument. Configuration, calibration, and measurements can be fully controlled by command strings.

Optical technology with intelligent algorithms

Despite its compact size, the Inline digital glossmeter probe features a standards-compliant two-angle geometry for measuring high-gloss and mid-gloss surfaces at 20° and 60° of light incidence with high accuracy and repeatability. This also makes it possible to measure unwanted haze, i.e. the degree of reflection from inside a highly-reflective coating.

Traditional glossmeters have long suffered from measurement inaccuracies that are caused by stray light from natural or artificial light sources – such as from the sun or the subtle strobe effect of overhead halogen lights. However, the Inline digital glossmeter features Stray Light Compensation – intelligent algorithms monitor the environment for stray light and utilize this information to exclude deviations, so that you can measure with high accuracy and peace of mind – anywhere, anytime.

Reduce your testing time – not the number of tests

With up to 20 measurements per second the Inline digital glossmeter is the fastest glossmeter in the industry.

In an automatic setup this allows you to reduce your testing cost by shorter testing times – while not reducing the number of tests.
