Usage:
Zehntner ZG8000 is the only glossmeter in the market that offers such a wide range of features and measuring modes in a lightweight, ultraportable probe. The small measurement footprint together with the thin side-profile of the probe make even the tightest spots and the smallest curved surfaces easily accessible.
Variants:
- Geometrie: 20°, 60° and “refelction haze H”
Zehntner ZG8000
Assuring the appearance, function, and quality of all kinds of surfaces with digital gloss testing
The appearance of your product’s surface—no matter the material—determines its attractiveness, influences its functionality and conveys its premium value by showcasing the quality of your operations to customers. As a result, surface gloss and haze are product attributes that are precisely specified and tightly controlled along a supply chain—from the initial coating application, to showroom, to after-market refurbishment.
Zehntner ZG8000 by Proceq enables coating suppliers, product manufacturers and quality inspectors to do exactly that— inspect the quality – easily and effortlessly. The rugged, lightweight, ergonomic probe packs Swiss Made optics and electronics, paired with sophisticated Stray Light Compensation algorithms and a rich set of features. Connect the probe wirelessly to your mobile device and enjoy our user-friendly app with insightful statistics, sharing, collaboration and reporting – anywhere, anytime.
