The Thermo ScientificTM RM 115 laboratorycoating weight gauge is derived from our online metal coating weight gauges,the Thermo Scientific RM 310 EC andRM 315 EC. Used in the laboratory, it provides a precise, fast and non-contactcoating weight measurement of metalcoatings applied to sheet steel.

Laboratory QualityUsing well established X-ray fluorescencetechniques, the RM 115 provides accurateoffline sample measurement without costlyand lengthy chemical analysis. Due to thenon-destructive radiometric measurement,the samples can be stored for qualityassurance purposes.

The stable X-ray source and robust ionchamber detectors are completely identicalto the online coating weight system. Thecompact sensor head is designed to beeasily removed from the laboratory systemand installed on to the online scanner.

This compatibility allows direct comparisons between the online gauges without disturbing production. The sample size, measuring spot and measurement geometry are duplicated to the conditions of the online gauges.

The air-conditioned cabinet enclosureprovides the necessary shielding fromthe X-ray source and redundant interlocksmaintain a safe working area. The lowerportion of the cabinet houses the X-raydrive and signal processing electronics.

The sensor head is mounted in the upper section on a set of telescopic railsfor easy access.

The panel above the sample tray containsmeasuring head status indicators as well asdigital displays for X-ray voltage and X-raycurrent settings.

When you are looking for reliableand accurate online coating weightgauging performance in an offlinesystem, the Thermo Scientificlaboratory gauge is your answerfor product quality and uniformity.Using the same sensor design,new product calibrations can bedeveloped offline then transferredto the online system minimizingproduction downtime.

Sample measurement on the Thermo Scientific RM 115

Sample HolderIn the center of the cabinet, there is a drawer to insert the coated sample from the production line. The sample holder secures the samples with an electrically operatedflat magnet. When closing the drawer, the measuring head is driven down to a defined position in relation to the sample. Therefore, the samples (size up to 200 mm x 200 mm) are always kept in place. This ensures constant measurement geometry.

Additionally, the sample holder is equipped with a scanning unit. With this feature, it is possible—apart from the static measurement on a fixed position—to scan the sample and therefore measure a coating profile acrossthe sample width.

Operator StationThe operator station consists of a PC with a TFT color monitor. It is connected with the processing electronics in the gauge cabinet via Ethernet. The operator’s interface is based on the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. For simple and user friendly operation of the RM 115, the monitor pages are structured in groups for data entry, operation, measured values, system configuration and service.

Additional Features• Language Manager: For changing the operator interface language• Level Manager: For security purposes, every action/function of the operator station is set to an access level• Print Manager: For configuration of the printing options of the automatic report• Product Data Memory: For storage and preparation of product data sets.
