Coating thickness sensor

The coating thickness sensor measures the thickness of the coating on the substrate surface through electromagnetic induction or the eddy current effect. The sensor probe generates an alternating magnetic field, and the coating alters the characteristics of the magnetic circuit. The instrument then calculates the thickness difference. It is used for detecting non-magnetic coatings on metal substrates or conductive coatings on non-metal substrates, ensuring coating uniformity.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility between the substrate material and the coating type with the sensor principle: use eddy current sensors for metallic substrates and magnetic induction sensors for magnetic substrates. The measurement range should cover the actual thickness, and the accuracy must meet the process requirements. The probe shape should adapt to the curvature of the measured surface, and environmental tolerance should align with on-site conditions. The interface should be compatible with existing equipment, and the ease of operation should match the skill level of the personnel.

Comparison of Coating Accuracy between Laboratory Blade Coater and Slot Die Coater
This article compares the coating precision of blade coaters and slot-die coaters in the laboratory. Blade coaters are suitable for thick coatings, with simple operation but relatively large uniformity errors; slot-die coaters offer higher precision and better uniformity for thin coatings. The choice of equipment depends on coating thickness and precision requirements.

Selection of wet film thickness gauge range and accuracy requirements for comb teeth spacing.
When selecting a wet film thickness gauges, the key considerations are the measurement range and the accuracy of the comb teeth spacing. The range should cover the coating thickness with a slight margin to avoid being too small for measurement or too large, which could reduce resolution.
Ultrasonic thickness gauge for detecting thick coatings and composite coatings.
Ultrasonic thickness gauges measure coating thickness using the principle of ultrasonic pulse reflection, calculating the result based on the propagation time of sound waves in the material and the speed of sound. When detecting thick coatings and composite coatings, challenges such as acoustic attenuation of the material, unknown sound speed, and signal recognition at multi-layer interfaces must be addressed.
Wet film thickness gauge measures the wet film thickness of varnish.
The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings. It operates by rolling the gauge so that the tips of its teeth contact the substrate and leave marks. The thickness value is then obtained by the operator reading the scale of the first tooth that becomes coated with the varnish.
Application of Two-Step Method with Pre-Coating and Fine-Coating in Eliminating Bubble Defects for Dual-Blade Coater
The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process. In the pre-coating stage, high shear force is applied to break the bubbles in the slurry, causing them to rupture and rise to the surface. The precision coating stage then precisely controls the coating thickness, removing any remaining bubbles to form a uniform wet film.

Magnetic thickness gauge measures the thickness of coatings on steel surfaces.
Magnetic thickness gauges are used to measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on ferromagnetic substrates such as steel, based on the principles of magnetic induction or changes in magnetic attraction.

The difference between a wire bar coater and a gap-type wet film applicator.
The wire-wound drawdown bar directly quantifies the coating through the gap between wires, making it suitable for thin coating preparation with high precision, particularly for low-viscosity fluids.
