The ERICHSEN SmartPen is used to determine the scratch resistance of surfaces; depending on the used module, it can be used to determine the resistance to scratching, the tendency towards metal marking and the durability of printed markings.  With the ERICHSEN SmartPen, a modular hardness test pencil with digital test force setting and display (resolution 0.05 N) is now available. The SmartPen is supplied in a plastic case with three springs and a USB-C charging cable.

Stone impact simulations, modular system with removeable bombardment attachments for VDA-Select-/SAE-Module, VDA/DIN/PSA/DBL

508 Select (VDA module)- DIN EN ISO 20567-1, FORD FLTM BI 157-06,  RENAULT D24 1702, PSA D24 1312, DAIMLER DBL 5416

508 Select (SAE module)- SAE J 400, ASTM D 3170

With the modular MULTI GRIT TESTER 508 Select, the user only needs a basic device which can be converted with little effort for bombardment tests “according to VDA” or “according to SAE”.  The clear arranged menu navigation via the touch panel has password-protected levels, which protect against unauthorized access (such as program changes). Depending on the application, a VDA module (with manual or pneumatic specimen applying device) or a SAE  module is selected. A change between the different modules designed as attachments is quick and easy, without spending lots of time.

PaintChecker mobile LED Blue 591 gauge a photothermal measuring device used for the non contact and non destructive determination of coating thicknesses in accordance with DIN EN 15042-2. (metallic substrates), coating thickness ranges: 20-150 µm – powder, 50-250 µm – powder thk, 20-200 µm cured

Specially developed for the measurement of powder coatings before curing on various substrates such as steel, aluminum and ceramics.
Cured coatings can also be measured. The precise layer thickness measurement is geometry independent and therefore also possible on complex parts such as corners, edges or curved inner sides.  The photothermal measuring method is an indirect measuring method which means that the measuring device does not measure coating thickness values directly, but that they are derived indirectly from the evaluation of the photothermal measurement signal.
The Sensor
The sensor made of extruded high-strength plastic is designed for manual handling and contains, in addition to eye-safe positioning LEDs (UV light), the measurement data recording.  The fabricated cable that connects the sensor and the controller unit is 0.8 m in length.
With the ergonomic, lightweight sensor, measurements can be made directly by hand. With its optomechanical structure, the sensor can also be used in the immediate vicinity of the application.
The Controller-Unit
The controller-unit is contained in a rugged aluminum housing. All of the settings can be selected and modified conveniently with the membrane keypad using a context-related menu that is easy to understand.  The USB connection is used for communicating with a PC. The software allows complete control over the measurement procedure and storage of measurement data.  The measuring values are saved in measuring series for immediate or later use.

Adaptable anti-slip grip made of aluminum with engraved grid pattern, with freely rotating as well as locked axis for constant force application. incl. clamping chuck adapter to attach the cross-cut single edge, the corrosion scratch tools acc. to van Laar and Clemen as well as many user-specific tools with shaft diameter up to 4mm flexible steel ruler plastic case (without test tip)

Digital microscope/camera with 2 million pixels CMOS image sensor and scaleable precision measurement with magnification 20x/40x/200x (also to be used with Paint and Lacquer Testing Machine, Mod. 202 EM)

The Bead Test Instrument Model 227, enables the quantitative assessment of the technological properties of stamping paints and plastic coatings on cylindrical standard cups.  The instrument was designed to produce stresses comparable to those which occur in practice and is  particularly suited for use in the development of high quality stamping paints

PLC controlled test system comprising a basic unit and a control unit, with a motor-driven X-Y- specimen table, a universal holding fixture with vertical linear guide and pneumatic tool feed motion as well as a touch-screen control panel. In acc. To standards AFERA 4001 P11

Tabletop instrument for measuring the thickness of organic coatings on all substrate using the wedge cut principle. Standards ISO 2808, NF T 30-123, DIN 50986, ASTM D 4138.  The PAINTXPLORER 548 has been developed to extend the range of the application of the PAINT BORER 518 MC, especially targeting sensitive drillings, particularly into rigid/brittle materials. It is possible that, already at minor eccentric irregular running of the drill used or of its centre axle, such materials can be subject to breaking off of the cutting edges including chipping off, leading afterwards during the optical measurement with the microscope also to limitedly definable transitions between the layers to be measured

Model 750 USB-F for all non-magnetic coatings on steel.  Model 750 USB-FN for all non-magnetic coatings on steel and all insulating coatings on non-ferrous metalsThe measuring principle conforms to the DIN, ISO, BS and ASTM norms and standardsThe small and robust thickness gauge LAYERCHECK 750 USB is used for quick and precise, non-destructive coating thickness measurements on metallic substrates. Typical fields  of application are e.g. industrial corrosion protection, assessor matters, electroplating and paint shops, the chemical, automobile, shipbuilding and aircraft industries as well as the apparatus and machine construction

For measuring coating thickness digitally.  The GalvanoTest is available in two versions;  Model 2000 is the basic version. In its default delivered configuration without accessories, it is suitable for measuring a large number of layer/layer or layer/base material combinations. This model is especially recommended for measuring multiple layers because it is easy to handle. The Model 3000 provides even more comfort during use. The measuring stand with built-in circulation pump and easily replaceable measuring cell enables the electrolyte to be automatically filled or emptied. It also helps conserve electrolyte, since the automatic circulation of the measuring cell filling can be used repeatedly for multiple detachment sequences. Another advantage of the Model 3000 is that very small detachment surfaces of up to 0.25 mm2 are possible.   Both versions- Coulometric coating thickness measurement, for electroplated layers, 0.05 μm – 75 μm
