Micro-Gloss
The new intel­li­gence in gloss mea­sure­ment
 
The micro-gloss has been the unsur­passed indus­try stan­dard in gloss measure­ment for many years. It is the only gloss­me­ter com­bin­ing high­est accu­racy, ease-of-use and mul­ti­ple func­tio­n­al­ity - essen­tial for today's test­ing require­ments.

 
Micro-TRI-Gloss μ
Gloss and Film Thick­ness in one Instru­ment
  
Gloss and film thick­ness are impor­tant QC cri­te­ria for coat­ings. The new micro-TRI-gloss μ mea­sures both in seconds and at the same posi­tion. This saves time and is ideal for checks in the field.

 

Cloud-run­ner

Con­trol and guar­an­tee a uni­form fin­ish - no more mottling!

Mottling dis­turbes the over­all color har­mony of effect fin­ishes. These irreg­u­lar light­ness vari­a­tions can now be objec­tively mea­sured with BYK-Gard­ner's newest inno­va­tion: the cloud-run­ner sim­u­lates visual eval­u­a­tion under dif­fer­ent observ­ing angles and char­ac­ter­izes clouds / mot­tles by their size and vis­i­bil­ity.
  

 

Wave-Scan dual

Orange Peel and DOI measurement on high to semi gloss surfaces

... appear­ance con­trol is no longer limited to final top­coat inspec­tion. The orange peel meter scans the opti­cal pro­file of high gloss sur­faces using a laser light source. An addi­tio­nal, infrared - high energy LED allows mea­sur­ing the same struc­ture spec­trum (0.1 - 30 mm) on medium gloss sur­faces. The dull­ness mea­sure­ment is recorded with  state-of-the-art CCD cam­era tech­nol­ogy. It gives infor­ma­tion on the image form­ing qual­i­ties of the sur­face caused by struc­tures <0.1mm.
  

 

Micro-Wave-Scan

Orange Peel and DOI measurement for curved and small parts
  
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, dec­o­ra­tive trim or motor­cy­cle parts.
 
 
 
 
BYK-mac
Total color impres­sion of effect finishes
 
The appear­ance of effect  fin­ishes is influ­enced by dif­fer­ent view­ing angles and view­ing con­di­tions. Apart from a light-dark flop and color shift spe­cial spark­ling effects can be cre­ated. The BYK-mac spec­tropho­tome­ter is unique as it mea­sures both multi-angle color and flake char­ac­ter­i­za­tion in one portable device.
  • Tra­di­tio­nal 5-angle color mea­sure­ment: 15° / 25° / 45° / 75° / 110°
  • Addi­tio­nal color mea­sure­ment behind the gloss for color travel of interfer­ence pig­ments: -15°
  • Sparkle and graini­ness mea­sure­ment for flake char­ac­ter­i­za­tion

 
Accessories Cosmetics
Measurement of cosmetic products
 
The cos­metic indus­try is very much driven by the aes­thet­ics. A lot of special effect pig­ments are used to cre­ate light-dark and color flop. Addition­ally, they start to sparkle when viewed in direct sun light. As many different sam­ple types are used e.g. nail pol­ish, lip gloss and eye sha­dow, stan­dardized sam­ple pre­pa­ra­tion is required for repeat­able mea­sure­ment results.
 

 

BYK-mac COLOR
Multi-angle color measurement
 
In order to con­trol the light­ness and / or color flop of an effect fin­ish, the color needs to be mea­sured under dif­fer­ent view­ing angles. BYK-mac COLOR spec­tropho­tome­ter offers an attrac­tive solu­tion by mea­sur­ing
  • Tra­di­tio­nal 5-angle color at 15°/25°/45°/75°/110°
  • An addi­tio­nal angle at -15° "behind the gloss" for color travel of interfer­ence pig­ments

 
BYK-mac ROBOTIC
Automatic measurement of total color impression of effect
finishes at the line
 
Prod­ucts can only be man­u­fac­tured with uni­form and con­sis­tent qual­ity when pro­cess sta­bil­ity is guar­an­teed. There­fore, multi-angle color, sparkle and graini­ness must be mea­sured on a rou­tine basis. The BYK-mac ROBOTIC spec­tropho­tome­ter allows auto­mated total color con­trol as it is mounted on a robotic arm. The robotic sys­tem not
only mea­sures a high num­ber of cars, but also on the same areas.
 

 
Byko-spectra effect
 
Effect fin­ish appear­ance is influ­enced by dif­fer­ent view­ing angles and viewing con­di­tions. With BYK-Gard­ner's new byko-spec­tra effect light booth, it is now pos­si­ble to con­trol both parameters to ensure objec­tive eval­u­a­tion of the total color impres­sion of effect fin­ishes. This helps to improve com­mu­ni­ca­tion and reduce prod­uct rejec­tions.

 
Spectro-guide
Total Appearance Control - color and gloss in one unit
 
The over­all appear­ance of a prod­uct is influ­enced by color and gloss. A sample of the same color but higher gloss level is visu­ally per­ceived darker and more sat­u­rated than a low gloss sam­ple. In order to get a uni­form appear­ance, both attributes need to be con­trolled. The spec­tro-guide spectropho­tome­ter is unique as it mea­sures both attributes simul­ta­ne­ously. Thus, the cause of a mis­match can be clearly defined in any sit­u­a­tion.
 
 
 
 
 
Byko-drive
Automatic Film Applicator
 
The byko-drive Auto­matic Appli­ca­tor is an eco­nom­i­cal film appli­ca­tor that improves the con­sis­tency of draw­downs.  When more than one oper­a­tor is draw­ing down the same coat­ing or ink, the dry film appear­ance will vary because of dif­fer­ent draw­down tech­niques. Draw­down speed and pres­sure on the appli­ca­tor tool will impact the result.  Film thick­ness, gloss, opac­ity, and color can vary with dif­fer­ing draw­down tech­niques.
 

 

Byko-test 4200/4500
Dry Film Thickness Gages
 
The byko-test 4500 film thick­ness gauge allows for the mea­sure­ment of a vari­ety of prod­ucts. No cable exchange or cal­i­bra­tion is needed when chang­ing from a fer­rous to a non-fer­rous sub­s­trate. The large LCD dis­play and 10 second reten­tion of the last mea­sured value makes the byko-test 4500 easy to use.
 

 
Pencil Hardness Tester
(Wolf-Wilburn)
 
The pur­pose of scratch hard­ness tests is to deter­mine the resis­tance of coat­ing mate­rials or lac­quers to scratch effects on the sur­face. This test is of par­tic­u­lar value for fur­ni­ture or vehi­cle lac­quers, but is also a use­ful aid in the devel­op­ment of syn­thetic resins or other film form­ing mate­rials.
 
Gen­er­ally, scratch hard­ness is mea­sured by mov­ing a sharp object under a known pres­sure over the test sur­face. The result may either be the value of the pres­sure required to scratch through the test mate­rial if a scratch­ing tool of con­s­tant hard­ness is used, or the hard­ness of the scratch­ing tool is varied while con­s­tant pres­sure is applied.
 

 

Mechanical Cupping Tester
 
The BYK-Gard­ner Mechan­i­cal Cup­ping Tester is designed to test the elongation and deforma­bil­ity of lac­quers and pro­tec­tive coat­ings applied to metal sub­s­trates.  The punch is applied under pres­sure to the uncoated side of the test panel.  The panel is held in place by a clamp­ing ring.  Two test pro­ce­dures can be per­formed the "Pre­de­ter­mined depth" (go/no go) or "Minimum depth required to cause fail­ure".

 

DPM 100
Digital Pocket Microscope
 
The NEW DPM 100 Dig­i­tal Pocket Micro­s­cope offers vary­ing mag­ni­fi­ca­tion up to 200x suit­able for most qual­ity inspec­tion work. The micro­s­cope fea­tures inte­grated LED illu­mi­na­tion which can be turned on and off depend­ing on the appli­ca­tion. The DPM con­tains a high-res­o­lu­tion color cam­era which pro­vides crisp, clear images. To cap­ture an image sim­ply press the red but­ton on the micro­s­cope. The micro­s­cope can be used for many appli­ca­tions, such as print qual­ity, paper struc­ture, coat­ings, tex­tiles, plas­tics, etc.
 

 

Temp-gard
Oven Temperature Recorder
 
The temp-gard tem­per­a­ture recorder sys­tem mea­sures and saves object and air tem­per­a­ture dur­ing the cure pro­cess. Doc­u­men­ta­tion and anal­y­sis of tem­per­a­ture pro­files is made easy with the included tem­pchart soft­ware: all you need to con­trol and opti­mize your bak­ing pro­cess.
 
The temp-gard data log­ger comes in two con­fig­u­ra­tions, 12 tem­per­a­ture probe con­nec­tions or 6 probe con­nec­tions. The data log­ger has a new innova­tive design with a large color graph­ics dis­play and USB mem­ory stick con­nec­tion for easy data trans­fer.
 

 

PosiTector DPM
Dew Point Meter
 
This new meter helps bring a new level of con­fi­dence to the paint­ing contrac­tor and inspec­tor. Mea­sure and record cli­matic param­e­ters includ­ing air tem­per­a­ture, sur­face tem­per­a­ture, dew point tem­per­a­ture and the difference between sur­face and dew point tem­per­a­tures, which is crit­i­cal for deter­min­ing con­den­sa­tion prob­a­bil­ity. This meter is ideal for sur­face preparation, as required by ISO 8502-4.

 

Byko-test 8500
