instrument; remote data logging moni-
tor in a single gauge and high/low lim-
its can be set against any or all param-
eters, with visual and audible alarms
when limits are exceeded. The standard
gauge has a 10 reading rolling memory.
The top gauge has the added advantage
of a large inbuilt memory to accurately
record each measurement, storing up to
40,000 sets of reading in 999 batches. It
also features wireless connectivity from
the gauge to a PC. Data can be down-
loaded using ElcoMaster Software.
Using ElcoMaster Mobile Software
allows data to be e-mailed directly to
the office from the field using a PDA.

Use grind gages more consistently.

Attributes/comments: The Elcometer 550 offers the user an unrivaled approach to measureing uncured powder thickness – without touching the powder. The Elcometer 550 is designed to provide the user with the correct value of the cured film thickness by the measurement of the uncured powder thickness, enabling the application system (powder guns, line speed, etc.) to be set up and fine tuned. The gauge has been designed for measuring the thickness of uncured powder coatings on smooth flat or curved metallic surfaces such as steel and aluminum. The shrinkage that occurs when the powder cures in the oven is allowed for in the calibration of the gauge and the thick-

Little Joe Industries offers the ADM Automatic Draw-Down Machine for use with grind gages. The ADM automates the draw down process controlling scraper angle, speed, and force. Since these aspects are no longer operator dependent your grind gage draw-downs will be more consistent while requiring less operator training and supervision.
