Coatmaster Flex unique non-contact coating thickness gauge
Coatmaster Flex is a non-contact handheld coating thickness gauge that measures the surface coating immediately after application, saving material and ensuring consistent product quality.
Coatmaster Flex is a revolutionary handheld coating thickness gauge that utilises patented ATO (Acoustic Thickness Optical) technology.
Unlike traditional measuring instruments, Coatmaster Flex enables the measurement of wet coating thickness immediately after application – contactless and non-destructive, without damaging the coating.
The device is ideal for use on metal, paper, rubber, ceramic, glass and plastic surfaces.
The Coatmaster AT and INLINE models additionally measure on firmer wood surfaces.
Why choose
Coatmaster Flex?
On production lines, coating thickness control is critical – a coating that is too thick wastes material and money, while one that is too thin fails to provide adequate protection.
Coatmaster Flex solves this problem in real time: you immediately know whether the coating meets the standard, without having to wait for it to dry.
Key advantages
Instant measurement on wet surfaces – don't wait for drying, measure immediately after painting and adjust the process in real time Up to 30% material savings – apply exactly the right amount of paint, not more just in case Smart process control – connect the device to an ERP system or via a browser and receive real-time data directly into your control system Universal compatibility – works with metal, paper, rubber, ceramic, glass and plastic; measures all paint shades including white surfaces Safe and contactless – does not damage the coating, does not produce hazardous emissions Moving products – can also measure products on a moving production line Wide tilt angle tolerance ±70° – works on parts with more complex geometry too How does it work?
The Coatmaster Flex ATO technology combines acoustic and optical measurement principles.
The device emits a short sound signal towards the surface and optically analyses the coating's response – all contactless, with a measuring distance of 2–15 cm from the part.
Measurement takes as little as 20 milliseconds, making the device suitable for use on high-speed lines as well.
Who uses Coatmaster Flex?
The device is particularly popular in the woodworking industry, metalworking, automotive body industry and paper production, where a high-quality and uniform coating is an integral part of product quality.
Coatmaster Flex is used by both small businesses and large manufacturing companies seeking to optimise material costs and ensure stable product quality.
