The Elcometer 4340 Motorized Film Applicators are versatile, rugged and precise. The rigid construction ensures a smooth, consistent application without the ridges often associated with film application.
A range of applicator head attachments is available separately, allowing the user to select the most appropriate for their specific use and Standard (if applicable).
The Elcometer 4340 range of motorized Film Applicator allows the flexibility to test using standard film applicators (filmographs), spiral bar coaters, or using the combined attachment of both the film applicator and spiral bar attachment.
Each Elcometer Electrically Heated Motorized Film Applicator is accurately measured using a Co-ordinate Measuring Machine to meet an incredibly high level of flatness.
The average variation on Elcometer Application Tables is 2.3µm (0.092mil), while the average variation on glass used on some low cost tables is 12.0µm (0.48mil).
If a 100µm (4mils) coating is tested, readings taken using an Elcometer table would produce readings between 97.7 (3.9mils) and 102.3µm (4.1mils). On glass, the readings produced would be between 88 (3.5mils) and 112µm (4.48mils) - a 47% variation.
