Coatmaster Inline - Elister

Coatmaster Inline

The Coatmaster Inline is a stationary, production line-mounted coating thickness gauge using patented ATO (Acoustic Thickness Optical) technology. It is designed for continuous automatic measurement on moving products - layer thickness control in real time, directly in the production process, before the oven, without stopping production.

Unlike hand-held meters, the Coatmaster Inline has electronics and an optical eye. as separate parts, making it ideal for industrial automation. Suitable for metal, paper, rubber, ceramics, glass and plastic surfaces, as well as stronger wooden surfaces.

Why choose Coatmaster Inline?

Speed and consistency are critical on production lines. Coatmaster Inline is integrated directly into the line and automatically measures each product without operator intervention. The result: consistent quality, less defects, less material wastage.

Main benefits

  • Fully automated measurement - the device measures the layer thickness of each moving product without human intervention
  • Real-time process management - deviations are detected immediately, corrective action can be taken before the next product is released
  • Up to 30% Material savings - precise layer thickness means less overconsumption
  • Non-contact and non-destructive - does not damage the coating, does not stop production
  • Stand-alone electronics - the optical eye and electronics are separate, which simplifies installation and maintenance
  • Suitable for all colours - also measures white and light surfaces
  • Integration with ERP system - real-time data via browser or ERP

How does Coatmaster Inline work?

The Coatmaster Inline is mounted in a fixed position on the painting line. As the product moves along the production line, it passes through the measuring point and the device records the coating thickness. from 20 milliseconds with a precision of 2-15 cm. Measuring time is 1 second for full measurement. The electronics processes the data and transmits them immediately to the control system.

Who is Coatmaster Inline for?

The device is ideal metalworking, powder coating, automotive bodywork, paper and woodworking industries for - wherever the production line runs continuously and the layer thickness control must be automatic. Coatmaster Inline is used by production companies that want to replace manual spot-checking with fully automated process control.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

How is Coatmaster Inline different from other Coatmaster models?

Coatmaster Inline is designed for stationary installation on the production line and for continuous automatic measurements. The Flex is a handheld portable unit, the Atline for laboratory measurements and 3D spatial measurements. Inline also stands out because the electronics and the optical eye are separate components, which simplifies integration into the line.

Can Coatmaster Inline also measure wooden surfaces?

Yes, the Coatmaster Inline can also measure on stronger wooden surfaces, unlike some other models. It is suitable for metal, paper, rubber, ceramics, glass, plastic and wood surfaces.

How will the device be integrated into the production line?

The Coatmaster Inline is mounted in a fixed position on the line - the electronics and the optical eye are separate, giving flexibility for installation in difficult locations. Measurement results are transferred in real time to the ERP system or can be accessed via a browser.

What are the measuring ranges of the Coatmaster Inline?

Dry/cured surfaces: 1-1000 μm. Water-based paints before drying: 1-400 μm. Powder-coated products before heating: 1-400 μm. Measuring time from 20 ms, measuring distance from the workpiece 2-15 cm.

Is the device suitable for a high-speed production line?

Yes, measurement time from 20 milliseconds and angle tolerance of ±70° ensure reliable measurement even on high-speed lines and parts with different geometries.

Is it possible to measure the layer thickness before the oven?

Just - The Coatmaster Inline is specifically designed for measurement before the oven (in the powder coating process). This allows the detection of deviations before baking, avoiding the formation of cracks.
