Manufactured by Rhopoint since 1997, the Novo-Curve is the industry standard
instrument for measuring the gloss of curved and small parts which cannot be measured
with standard hand held units.
The Novo-Curve 4 is a unique instrument with specially designed optics for accurately measuring the gloss at
60° of curved surfaces and small areas. Multiple options exist to increase the repeatibility of gloss measurement
of irregular sample shape. Moveable jigging posts ensure cylindrical objects can be positioned correctly and
measured in the same place each time.
The Novo-Gloss Flex 60 has been designed
specifically to measure low gloss surfaces. It features
an additional measuring scale with a resolution
10 times greater than standard glossmeters. This
increased resolution gives a far superior level of
control of surface finish.
Previously only available for measuring flat surfaces,
this technology is now available in a new format
specifically designed for curved surfaces, as well as
small and delicate parts.
With the ability to measure the to measure the
gloss of surfaces that cannot be accessed using
traditional glossmeters, the Novo-Gloss Flex 60
Glossmeter combines the functionality and reporting
of an advanced glossmeter with an ultra-lightweight
remote measuring head.
Measured parameters:
• 60° Gloss GU
• 60° Gloss GUh
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 quantifies surface quality
problems such as orange peel and haze
that are invisible to a standard glossmeter. It
profiles how light is reflected from a surface.
This handheld instrument has been specifically
designed for the measurement of high gloss curved
surfaces, as well as small and delicate parts.
Flex 20 gloss measurements are fully compatible
with existing Rhopoint IQ results.
Measured parameters:
• 20° Gloss
• Reflectance haze
• Reflected Image Quality (RIQ)
• Distinctness of Image (DOI)
• Goniophotometric curves
• RSPEC (peak specular reflectance)

Custom Small Part Adaptor System
The New Novo-Curve 4 includes an indented
platen to accept complex parts which could not
be measured on the previous instrument.
The indented platen also accepts 3D printed jigs
to allow accurate placement of small switches,
decals or irregular shapes.
Contact our experienced applications team who can advise on the best way to measure small parts curved
surfaces or difficult to measure areas- we also design and supply 3D printed adaptors and jigs bespoke for many
applications.
For curved surfaces, the correct gloss value is the peak value identified on the sample. Continuous read mode on the Novo-Curve 4 greatly simplifies this process.
For improved gloss control, calibrate on a standard that matches closest to your sample. Additional standards are available from matt to mirror finish.
Bespoke sample securing systems allow multiple
samples to be measured in exactly the same place*.
*Requires additional accessory
The optional footswitch enables the user to easily manipulate the sample for measurement
