Coating precision means everything. Whether you're coating batteries, films, adhesives, or large components: too much material wastes money and too little kills performance. Our non-contact industrial coating thickness and weight measurement systems help you maintain coating consistency in real time. Improve product performance, scale with confidence, and pass every spec.
Gauge Advisor is the official sales partner for AIM Systems and Scantech to deliver non-contact coating thickness and weight measurement and process-control solutions for advanced coatings. AIM’s photothermal gauges measure coating thickness and uniformity, while Scantech provides real-time coating weight and density data for high-precision adhesive, battery, and aerospace coating lines.
Tell us your coating type, target thickness or weight, and line details and we will recommend the right Scantech or AIM system. We will include pricing, lead times, and integration guidance. Need sample analysis or help evaluating coating uniformity? We can do that too.

Non-contact, fixed-point systems give you precise coating thickness readings exactly where you need them.
Engineers can validate thickness and coating weight at critical points from their desk. Great for data collection and recipe development.
Install photothermal laser fixed-point gauges where gas-lamp gauges won’t work: inside vaper-prone enclosures and hazardous areas.
Full-width scanners traverse the web and build a cross-sectional thickness, basis weight, or density map. Ideal for battery slurry coating, hot-melt adhesives, or functional films. Identify profile variations and correct before they impact quality.
Connect scanners to die-bolt, calender, or coater controls using analog (0-10v or 4-20mA) signal or digital OPC-UA. Deviations are corrected in real time to keep coating targets on point without constant operator input.
Ensure complete anti-corrosion protection and aesthetic uniformity. Our AIM systems deliver non-contact multi-layer paint measurement on complex surfaces, including E-coat thickness on vehicle bodies and battery trays.
