01
The measurement process
coatmaster technology is based on Advanced Thermal Optics (ATO). In this method, the layer to be measured is heated in a pulsed manner by a computer-controlled light source.
02
The measurement process
A high-speed infrared detector in the ATPO optics records the resulting surface temperature profile from a distance.
03
The measurement process
The surface temperature diminishes with a characteristic dynamic which depends on the layer thickness and the thermal properties of the coating.
04
The measurement process
The specially developed algorithms analyze the dynamic temperature profile on the surface and determine the layer thickness and other properties quantitatively and reproducibly.
