OPTICAL COATINGS SYSTEM
A bespoke automated system that measures and assesses the optical characteristics and average thickness of coating samples.
System Overview.
The optical coatings system is a bespoke piece of equipment designed for the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI). The system is designed to measure and assess the optical characteristics and average thickness of drawn-down samples on substrates.
Samples are loaded onto a vacuum bed of calibrated flatness and presented to a range of measurement devices using high precision ball-screw axes. Fully configurable workflows allow an image analysis camera to detect areas of interest and define regions for measurement using a Zeiss Spectrophotometer, Laser Profilometer with sub-micron measurement capability and a Tri-Gloss IQ Goniophotometer.
