FR-pOrtable

USB-powered for Point-of-Need

Introduction

FR-portable: the radical handy solution for accurate, precise & non-destructive characterization of transparent and semi-transparent single films or stack of films. It is powered through the same USB 2.0/3.0 port used for data transfer and can be easily used at the field (the tool comes over the sample).

The compact size of FR-pOrtable along with the custom designed reflection probe, and the long lifetime (20.000h) broad-band light source guarantee highly accurate and repeatable reflectance & transmittance measurements. Can be either mounted on the supplied base/stage or can be easily transformed to a handheld thickness measurement tool to be placed over the sample under characterization.

FR-pOrtable is the robust & accurate thickness gauge for real-time characterization of coatings in industrial environment (e.g. R2R, belt conveyor…).

The only USB-powered optical characterization tool for in-field applications.
