SpecMetrix® ACS System

Product catalog summary

Overview: The SpecMetrix ACS Systems, including ACS-1 and ACS-10, are designed for precise, non-contact, non-destructive, real-time measurement of container coatings. These systems enhance coating process control, reduce costs, and are adaptable for various plant configurations.

Key Features & Benefits:

Flexible and Scalable: Modular designs compatible with multiple automation and process control tools.
Non-Contact Measurement: Preserves sample integrity by avoiding contact with coatings or substrates.
Absolute Thickness Measurement: Provides ultra-precise, real-time measurements without the need for calibration for different coating types.
Substrate Independent: Effective on wet or dry coatings over various materials and printed surfaces.
Broad Range of Use: Suitable for measuring single or dual coatings, including over-varnish, inside spray, and more.
Non-Hazardous: Utilizes non-radioactive and non-invasive optical technologies.
Environmentally Friendly: Reduces waste and spoilage costs through non-destructive testing.
Powerful Software: User-friendly software for data storage and SPC analysis.

Options:

ACS-1 Systems for single can measurement with flexible probe options.
ACS-T34 System for fully automated measurement without stopping or changeover.

Technical Specifications:

Measurement Range: 0.3 to 250 microns.
Accuracy: +/-1% of coating thickness.
System Speed: 1-2 minutes per container.
Measurement Speed: Up to 50 per second.
Temperature Range: 0 to 55 °C.
Container Size Range: Up to 3.5 in diameter and 9.5 in height.
Output Metrics: Various units including microns, mils, and g/m².
Operating System: Windows® platform.
Manufactured: Made in USA.

Certification: The system can verify supplier container quality and diagnose coating issues, providing 2D and 3D topographical maps for visual analysis.
