Orange Peel / DOI Meter - Wave Scan

Orange Peel / DOI Meter - Wave Scan

Test Application
Plastic Testing
Color, Paint & Coating Testing

Best Application: Measure Orange Peel and DOI on small and curved surfaces.

Qualitest orange peel and DOI meters have been used at all major car makers and suppliers as the global standard to objectively control and optimize appearance.

Applications

Orange Peel and DOI measurement

Now you can measure Orange Peel and DOI on small and curved surfaces: Automotive add-on parts - like bumpers, gas tank doors, mirror housings, door handles, and decorative trim or motorcycle parts.

For curved and small parts

  • Curvature >300 mm
  • Minimum sample size: 25 mm x 40 mm
  • Selectable scan length 20, 10 or even 5 cm
  • Measurement area: 4 mm x scan length
  • DOI measurement possible without scanning the surface
  • Good correlation to wave-scan DOI, the appearance standard in the automotive industry

Fits in the palm of your hand

  • Small and light weight Easy to operate with one hand
  • New scroll wheel to select functions and operate button to take readings
  • Large, multilingual display: complete statistics and name input directly at the orange peel mete
  • Storage of 2000 readings in selectable memories
  • Docking station for recharging battery pack and data transfer to PC
  • Rechargeable battery pack or standard mignon batteries can be used
  • Auto-chart software for professional analysis, documentation and data management

Objective and reliable appearance data

  • Structure spectrum gives detailed information about various structure sizes
  • High correlation to the visual perception
  • Cause of appearance changes can be analyzed
  • DOI - Distinctness of Image: objective measurement independent of paint system and curvature

 Always ready

The micro-wave-scan is operated with a rechargeable battery pack (Li-Ion). The docking station automatically charges the battery pack and transfers the measured data to the PC. Optionally, the orange peel meter can be operated with 2 standard AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries - good for 1000 readings.
