Phaeton™

  • Measures full-width samples to 1250mm. Longer samples can be measured by cutting the panel in half and using the stitch feature to create a single profile measurement.
  • Measurement completed in approximately 5 seconds
  • User programmable measurement spacing
  • Measures from 3.5μm to 220μm thick coatings
  • Accurately measures textured and wrinkle coatings and can characterize the peak to valley depth and spacing of these finishes.
  • Full-width profiles at the press of a button measure
  • Instantly find coater set up faults including:
    – Out of balance coater
    – Out of shape coating roll (positive or negative crown)
    – Find non-optimal roll profiles (e.g. localized ridges or valleys)
  • Measurement accuracy/reproducibility up to 0.2μm
  • Surface roughness measurement

PHAETON™ OFFLINE FILM THICKNESS PROFILE MEASUREMENT

Phaeton™ is the fastest, most accurate lab-quality film thickness measurement instrument anywhere. It is extremely easy to use, requiring no special operator skill, and is extremely reliable. On a 1000mm wide sample, Phaeton™ can perform up to 1000 measurements in under 5 seconds across the full-width sample, delivering a complete picture of the coating profile fast and efficiently. The back/reverse coat is measured by simply flipping over the sample, and in another 5 seconds or less, the complete backside profile can be displayed. No other instrument does that with this level of accuracy and speed, without any calibration requirements for different coatings, coating colors, or substrate types. Placing the Phaeton™ near the exit shear/inspection station of your CPL provides full strip width measurement in seconds. Installing an optional second monitor outside the coater room gives instant feedback to the operators, allowing a quick response to any issues that are detected.

Phaeton™ + Colour Scan – This powerful new option allows you to deliver high-precision color measurements within seconds across the full sample width. No other device on the market can give you both film thickness profiles and full-width color measurements quickly and accurately.

 

SIMPLE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

PHAETON™ is a direct measurement device. A laser ablates the coating from the metallic substrate. The resultant ablation point is measured by a high-precision laser displacement sensor capable of performing up to 49,000 measurements per second at a maximum resolution of 0.03μm.

 

PHAETON™ + COLOUR SCAN

PHAETON™ + Colour Scan recognizes reference colors by comparison and identifies individual colors clearly from their coordinates in the color space. With its very high measurement speeds, the Phaeton + Colour Scan option is suitable for applications where colors and shades must be examined for high accuracy.

Color Measurement Characteristics:
• Measurement speed: Max. 2 kHz
• Non-contact measurements
• Measurement precision ΔE ≤ 0.08 (5nm)
• Color spaces: XYZ; L*a*b*; L* u* v*
• Reference colors: 15 taught-in spectra
• Adjustable light source: A, C,D65, D50, D75, E, F4, F7, F11
• Standard observer: 2°, 10° (adjustable)

SPECIFICATIONS

The Phaeton™ is available in 2 standard sizes, 1000mm (39”) and 1250mm (49”). Custom sizing is also available to suit.

• Dimensions (1250 model): 1650mm x 550mm x 1200mm (LxWxH) with stand.
• Dimensions without stand: 1650mm x 550mm x 600mm (LxWxH)
• Power: 110 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz auto sensing.
• The machine requires an extractor fan (not included) with a minimum of 800 CFM.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Access to the internet is recommended.
  • Computer Hardware – Windows-based PC. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
  • An additional remote monitor at the coater room is available as an optional extra.
  • One year warranty.
