A Simulation Cabinet without Limits
T
he operating philosophy of the
WK3 from Weiss Technik is to
enable users to access operating and
control functions as well as to provide
manual access to processes quickly and
conveniently.
The standard WK3 is equipped
with a large 12” TF T touchscreen
monitor for convenient and easy operation. Furthermore, the chambers are
equipped with an illuminated control
pad that permanently displays the
current operating state and parameters.
Users, thus, have a clear view of all the
important processes and can complete
their work using their fingertips.
Authorised users have access to the
current application at all times through
the integrated network interface and
the web server on the internet. Therefore, users get the feeling that they are
standing right in front of the unit and
monitoring its progress.
The technical features of the WK3
generation have also been optimised.
Manufacturers place great importance
on a high level of operational reliability and the performance of their
products. The WK3 is in the position to
maintain all climate parameters during
continuous operation, for example at
85°C, with 85% relative humidity. Even
under exceptional conditions, such as
midsummer outdoor temperatures or
extreme climatic conditions inside the
product, it will still maintain all climate
parameters. ?

Elcometer 456 Ultra/Scan Probe
T
he Elcometer 456 allows users
to automatically compare thickness values to a coating’s specification,
display trend graphs and store
the reading and the date and
time the reading was taken.
The gauge can even transfer data
wirelessly to a mobile phone,
recording the GPS coordinates
of where the measurement was
taken.
The measurement speeds
have a lso increased to 70
readings per minute in this
device. When connected to
the Elcometer 456 coating
thickness gauge, the probe
has a reading rate in excess of
140 readings per minute, enhancing the
speed and accuracy of field-based dry
film coating thickness measurement
on ferrous (F) and non-ferrous (NF)
substrates.
Each probe has been designed to take
a ‘snap on’ replaceable end cap, so that
the sliding action required to achieve a
scan of a coated surface does not cause
any wear to the probe tip. The thickness
of the cap is excluded from any coating
thickness measurement and as the cap
wears during use, the wear effect is
also accounted for. The gauge will even
display a warning message when the cap
needs to be replaced.
‘Scan’ mode allows users to
