End fluctuating product quality: 100% coating thickness on-repeat
Fluctuating coating thickness on components despite a constant powder output?
In recent years, application development in powder coating has focused on optimizing constant powder output, making powder coating application much simpler. However, consistently achieving the desired coating thickness on components remains a challenge. This is because factors such as powder charge and transfer efficiency between the powder gun and the component are influenced by numerous external variables. These include the powder formulation, particle size distribution, humidity, temperature, and airflow conditions within the coating system. Even with adequate staffing, maintaining control over all these parameters throughout the day is nearly impossible.
For powder coating operations to be economically viable, it’s essential to operate consistently at the lower tolerance threshold for coating thickness. This minimizes powder usage and reduces expensive rework.
The solution: Closed-loop technology
coatmaster’s Closed-Loop Technology ensures optimal coating quality and efficiency by continuously adjusting processes based on real-time measurements. Integrated into coatmaster solutions like Flex, 3D, and Inline, this system automatically regulates coating thickness and uniformity. The results speak for themselves: reduced material waste, fewer rework cycles, and consistently high-quality surfaces. This not only enhances sustainability but also improves customer satisfaction.

Manual or automated coating thickness measurement?
The coating thickness of powder applications can be measured either manually or automatically, depending on the use case.
A manual measurement using the coatmaster Flex is technically the simplest to implement but requires regular involvement of an operator, particularly during changes in powder batches or component geometry.
For automated measurement, there are two approaches: point-based and imaging coating thickness measurement.
In point-based measurement, the measurement points must be predefined based on the component geometry, and the sensor head is mechanically guided to the desired position.
In imaging measurement, the entire height of the component is typically scanned. Advanced systems also allow zone-specific control of powder output for each spray gun.
