Always ready

The orange peel meter is oper­ated with a recharge­able bat­tery pack (Li-Ion). The dock­ing sta­tion auto­mat­i­cally charges the bat­tery pack and trans­fers the mea­sured data to the PC.

Optio­n­ally, the wave-scan II can be oper­ated with 3 stan­dard mignon alka­line or recharge­able bat­teries - good for 1000 read­ings.

Objec­tive and reli­able
appear­ance data

• Excel­lent cor­re­la­tion to wave-scan DOI
• Clas­si­cal Long­wave and Short­wave
• Struc­ture spec­trum to ana­lyze appear­ance changes
• Dull­ness and DOI mea­sure­ment inde­pen­dent of
  the paint sys­tem

Ideal size for the pro­duc­tion line

• Easy han­dling - even on the mov­ing car body
• Small and light weight

  - Data man­age­ment with SQL Database
  - Stan­dard QC Reports
  

The spe­cial­ist for high gloss
sur­faces

Sur­face appear­ance changes with the size and dist­inct­ness of struc­tures. The wave-scan II objec­tively eval­u­ates orange peel as well as bril­liance of top­coat fin­ishes.

Train­ing for wave-scan II
BYK-Gard­ner offers you more than just an instru­ment. We assist you in oper­at­ing the wave-scan sys­tem and under­s­tand­ing your appear­ance read­ings. As a result you will be able to use the orange peel meter to save time and money and at the same time improve your qual­ity. There­fore, the instru­ment comes with a one day train­ing course includ­ing:

1. Orange Peel and DOI The­ory

• Visual per­cep­tion and instru­men­tal mea­sure­ment of
  Orange Peel and DOI
• Data inter­pre­ta­tion: How can the struc­ture spec­trum
  be used to opti­mize pro­cess and mate­rial param­e­ters

2. Oper­a­tion and Soft­ware Train­ing

• Set-up of an “Organizer” to cre­ate a rou­tine mea­sure­ment pro­ce­dure
• Pro­gram­ming of the instru­ment with “organizer” and
  mea­sure­ment of sev­eral sam­ples
• Direct data trans­fer to Excel for doc­u­men­ta­tion of
  indi­vi­d­ual read­ings
• Data trans­fer to smart-chart soft­ware and sav­ing in a database for rou­tine QC

• Cre­ate your own reports in Excel®
  - Trans­fer data from the database to Excel
  - Pivot func­tion to define lay­out in Excel

The train­ing can be per­formed in one day or two half days. It is rec­om­mended to split the train­ing into two half days:

Day 1:  The­ory and basic oper­a­tion (set-up organizer,
            tak­ing read­ings and sav­ing data in a database)
Day 2:  3-4 weeks later to ensure read­ings were taken and
           saved in a database. Data anal­y­sis and stan­dard 
           QC reports can be explained using cus­tomer
           spe­cific data.
