PosiTest® PC

Coatings must be applied within certain minimum and maximum dry film thickness specifications. But waiting to measure coating thickness after curing can result in product waste and production delays. Accurate measurement at the time of application:

• Eliminates over usage
• Improves quality
• Controls set-up
• Reduces rework & waste
• Saves money!

The instrument uses 4 “AAA” alkaline batteries(included) providing 16 hours of continuous measurement.

No. Our instruments are designed for simple operation, feature easy-to-use menus, instruction manuals, and helpful videos. In lieu of demonstration models, we provide unlimited technical support via telephone and/or email, and a limited 30-day money back guarantee.

The PosiTest PC has been completely redesigned as a dedicated stand-alone unit and is now part of the PosiTest family of instruments. No PosiTector gage body required.

NEW Features

• Up to 4x faster measurement speed for moving lines and swinging parts
• Improved sensor technology allows easier measurement on small tubes, odd shapes and moving parts
• Ergonomic, one-handed unit is ready to measure right out of the box
• Storage of 999 readings with onscreen averaging. Stored readings can be downloaded to PosiSoft Desktop software.
• Scan Mode continuously takes measurements — ideal for analyzing large areas
• Easy-to-read digital display with simple, icon based menu
• Target Grid simultaneously displays distance to the part and alignment, making measurements easy
• Range: 20 to 100 µm (0.8 – 4.0 mils)
• Easy 1 and 2 point calibration adjustment options with Cal Reset to improve accuracy on unusual powders or substrates. No calibration adjustment required for most powders.
• USB Keyboard Mode emulates keystrokes to easily stream readings to a PC or PLC

Yes. The PosiTest PC complies with ASTM D7378, “Standard Practice for Measurement of Thickness of Applied Coating Powders to Predict Cured Thickness”.

The probe uses airborne ultrasound to non-destructively analyze applied powder in seconds.

No. Certificates of Calibration show traceability to a National Standard and no uncured powder thickness standard exists at this time. The PosiTest PC Powder Checker is an in-process tool. To validate the PosiTest PC’s readings and confirm the final thickness meets specifications, measure the cured coating with a PosiTector 6000 or PosiTest DFT dry film thickness gage. Our dry film thickness gages include a Certificate of Calibration.

Yes. The PosiTest PC has the ability to stream positioning and measurement data via its USB port, and can be integrated into on-line, automated applications with appropriate fixturing. To ensure the USB cable stays reliably connected, the USB Retention Fixture accessory is recommended.

No. The PosiTest PC is a non-contact instrument and there are no cables to accidentally brush and disturb the powder.

No. In fact, the PosiTest PC performs best when there is slight movement. It was designed to measure moving parts on swinging hooks.

Yes. The PosiTest PC can store up to 999 readings in one batch. Stored readings can be downloaded to PosiSoft Desktop software for record keeping and review.
