Multi-layer coating measurement with TeraNIM and improve paint transfer efficiency
CURRENT SITUATION
Coating Thickness Measurement and Material Analysis: Most commonly used techniques at Paint Shop are Magnetic gauges and Eddy current. They are precise but it is a manual process.
Limitations of Conventional Techniques:
- Require Direct contact with the surface
- Can only measure specific spots, which limits finding paint issues, tracking drying, and mapping thickness across the entire vehicle.
- Multi-layer coating measurements is not possible.
- Less rapid than terahertz.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
- We propose using TeraNIM™ to measure the multi-layer thickness and cumulative thickness of car paint on both metal and non-metal surfaces.
- Terahertz technology offers non-contact measurement, ability to map the paint thickness distribution without the limitations of conventional methods.
- It will help user to monitor the paint transfer efficiency also.
