Quality control test instruments for the packaging industry sector
Rhopoint offers an extensive range of products for measuring visual appearance for the automotive industry sector which can be used at all stages of the process from substrate – e coat – top coat. Assessed parameters haze, gloss, DOI, waviness and detailed defect analysis / profiling.
Measurement of interior trim to ensure consistency throughout the vehicle can be controlled to the tightest of tolerances.
Quality control test instruments for improving packaging speeds.
Measure carton crease and board stiffness, whole carton opening force and experiment to find the correct crease profile with the carton crease proofer.
Sample preparation of individual creases and whole cartons for testing.
Measure the transmission haze and imaging transmission of food packaging.
The Rhopoint ID measures non-contact appearance – A measurement of the appearance of an object viewed through a material with an air gap between the two.
Test instruments for the repeatable measurement of thickness, friction and shrink properties of plastic film.
Accurate control of these parameters can lead to a reduction in raw material costs.
Visual control of haze and rub resistance of materials.
Test instruments for measuring the visual properties of printed materials such as rub and abrasion testing and gloss measurement.
Measurement of friction properties of printed film or paper.
As well as calibrating your glossmeter on its own reference gloss tile before use, your glossmeter and its tile need to be calibrated yearly by a Rhopoint Approved Service Agent.
This ensures their accuracy, giving you full confidence that your product is performing correctly and that measurements are up-to-date with the best available reference data and compliant to current industry standards.
Rhopoint Instruments GmbH offer the full range of Rhopoint Instruments Ltd products including gloss meters for measuring how shiny a surface is, gloss-haze-DOI meters for measuring orange peel and fine surface texture, as well as quality control test instruments from our Hanatek brand.
Hanatek Thickness Gauges are designed to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of a variety of substrates including film, paper, board, foil, tissue and textiles.
Operated via an intuitive touch screen interface the instrument will allow the user to define batch size, dwell time & measuring speed to meet the requirements of many international standards.
Measure the durability of inks and coatings on any printed material.
The instrument is used for testing the scuff, marking and rub resistance of cartons, films and commercial printed material.
This comparative test works by abrading a printed sample against a reference material under known conditions.
The results can be used to identify alternative substrates, better ink and coating formulations or the suitability of finished cartons or films
Static and dynamic friction measurement of flexible packaging materials.
Measure the COF of paper, film and foils to ASTM D1894 and ISO 8295. Automatic sled placement with variable dwell times give more repeatable static slip results
Measure how a folded carton will perform on a high speed packaging machine.
Measure crease recovery (spring back force), board stiffness.
Instant display of crease to board stiffness ratio.
Gloss – Haze – DOI / RIQ (Orange Peel Meter) for high gloss surfaces
With options for measuring flat and curved surfaces, this handheld instrument offers the measurement of all parameters that define specular appearance
The Novo Shade Duo+ measures the shade of a coating / powder and the opacity of plastic films and coatings
This versatile instrument can also measure chalking of paint, efficiency of detergents & bleaching agents and cleanliness & oxidisation on metal surfaces
Novo-Gloss Gloss Meters for all gloss measuring applications
With products to suit the measurement of flat and curved surfaces, the Novo Gloss range has options ranging from a single 60°instrument to a 20/60/85° instrument with haze measurement for superior control of high gloss finishes
Advanced & Complete Analysis of Transparent Appearance; haze measurements correlated with ASTM D1003
Ideally suited for the measurement of small and curved surfaces such as PET bottles, medical packaging as well as sheeted plastic material and glass
Map and measure surface quality analysis of all types of coated or uncoated surfaces.
Quantify faults such as orange peel, waviness and DOI and identify local faults such as inclusions, overspray, blistering and sagging
It is important for premier yacht consulting companies such as Safinah to have confidence that the equipment they use. Safinah have confidence in measurements made with the Rhopoint IQ
