Micrometer Adjustable Film Applicator
Manufactured by Neurtek
Achieve accurate coating fitness with the Micrometer Adjustable Film Applicator (application width of 50mm). It has dual metric micrometer heads for precise blade clearance adjustment from 0-8mm in 10-micron increments.
This wet film applicator is ideally suited to research projects where small variations in film thickness need to be evaluated accurately.
Benefits
- High precision micrometer adjustment ensures accurate coating thickness.
- Accuracy of the micrometer heads is ± 2 microns.
- Imperial micrometer heads are available if required.
- Complies with ASTM D 823 Practice E.
The applicator consists of:
• A special anodised aluminium frame to guide the knife blade. The frame has two end sections which serve as hand grips for the operator when drawing down wet films.
• A stainless steel knife blade with a precision ground edge. The slides in slots in the end sections which allows vertical adjustments of the blade.
• Two springs attached to the knife-blade and top plate. These exert an upward pressure on the blade and maintain it in contact against the two micrometer spindles to retain gap settings of the blade.
