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.
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. Flex 20 gloss measurements are fully compatible with existing Rhopoint IQ results.
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 can measure:
- 20° Gloss
- Reflectance haze
- Reflected Image Quality (RIQ)
- Distinctness of Image (DOI)
- Goniophotometric curves
- RSPEC (peak specular reflectance)
What does the IQ Flex 20 measure?
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.
Combined gloss, haze and orange peel (DOI/RIQ values) information has made the IQ essential for controlling appearance finish. The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 brings this technology to a new format specifically designed for curved surfaces, as well as small and delicate parts.
Measurement of curved surfaces
Conventional gloss instruments are suited to large flat test areas, as curved surfaces will cause errors. The small footprint of the IQ Flex 20 makes it much more effective on curved surfaces than a conventional glossmeter; its compact size and shape also allows access to difficult to reach areas.
Measurement of small surfaces
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 can be customised with magnetically attached adaptor plates. These can be easily interchanged for different applications. The measurement spot size of these adaptor plates can be reduced to as low as 2mm.
3D printed adaptors
Bespoke 3D printed adaptor jigs for repeatable control of curved surfaces (requires a .dxf drawing of the part to be measured).
Interchangeable adaptors
Easy customisation for every application with bespoke measuring adaptors.
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 can be customised with magnetically attached adaptor plates to allow for the measurement of irregular surfaces. These can be easily interchanged for different applications.
Why measure gloss?
Gloss has been defined as ‘The attribute of surfaces that causes them to have shiny or lustrous, metallic appearance.’
