Purpose and Application

A motorised film applicator is used in cases where a surface has to be covered with an absolutely uniform film, reliable information is needed on the relationship between the wet and the dry film thickness, a large number of exactly identical samples has to be produced. All kinds of inevitable inaccuracies when applying films manually, are avoided by using the automatic drawing method. Typical users are the lacquer and paint industry, especially for the research / development / quality control of many different products. Generally universities / academies as well as institutes studying high sensitive facts within the scope of their research and development projects requiring an optimally controlled film application, i.e. in the research of solar cells, fuel cells and accumulators as well as in the medical technology and research.
