Introduction | 1 1.6 Intended Use The wave-scan 3 (7403) is designed to measure Orange Peel & Distinctness-of-Image (DOI) on high-gloss surfaces. The wave-scan 3 dual (7400) includes an additional Infrared Super-Lumi- nescent Diode (IR-SLED) to support an extended measurement range; it can also measure on semi-gloss surfaces.
BYK-Gardner GmbH 2 System Description The wave-scan 3 / 3 dual is a portable surface analyzer that measures Orange Peel and the Distinct of Image (DOI) on high-gloss surfaces. The instrument is controlled by the Operate but- ton on the front side and the touch-screen display on the top. The Operate button is used to switch on the instrument and to trigger a measurement.
Back. System operation is supported by an auto-diagnosis test, comments, and error messages. Mea- surement values and comments appear in the display. 301 200 085 E 2403 wave-scan 3 / wave-scan 3 dual...
BYK-Gardner GmbH 2.2 Measurement Principle The wave-scan 3 is the objective eye for a brilliant finish. It provides quality control and trou- bleshooting for class A surfaces. Surface appearance changes with the size and distinctness of wavy structures. The wave-scan analyzes waviness intensity with 5 wavelength ranges (0.1 mm - 30 mm) and evaluates the bril-...
Structures smaller than 0.1 mm influence visual perception, therefore the wave-scan uses a CCD camera to measure the diffused light caused by these fine structures. This parameter is referred to as “dullness”. 301 200 085 E 2403 wave-scan 3 / wave-scan 3 dual...
This allows a detailed analysis of orange peel and its influencing factors, being material or appli- cation parameters. 2.3 List of Documents For the wave-scan 3 / 3 dual the following documentation is provided. Document Type Document No. No. of Languages...
