APEX COATINGS LLC Revolutionizes Coating Inspection with the Digital Gage
Murray, UT – November 8, 2023 – APEX COATINGS LLC, a leading provider of high-performance coatings and innovative inspection solutions, today announced the release of its groundbreaking Digital Gage, poised to redefine coating quality control across industries. Based in Murray, Utah (5226 S COMMERCE DR STE 2, 84107-8216, UNITED STATES, reachable at 315-683-0213), APEX COATINGS has spent years developing coatings for everything from aerospace components to industrial machinery, always with a focus on durability and performance. They've seen firsthand the critical need for precise, reliable coating measurement – and that need is exactly what the Digital Gage addresses. For years, industries relied on older, often clunky, methods for checking coating thickness - things like magnetic gages or destructive testing. These methods are slow, prone to human error, and can even damage the coated surface you’re trying to inspect. APEX COATINGS recognized these challenges and set out to build a better solution. “We weren’t just looking to sell another gage,” explains a company spokesperson. “We wanted to solve a real problem for our customers. We’ve been in the coating business for a long time, so we understand what’s important: speed, accuracy, and ease of use. That's what the Digital Gage delivers.” What is the Digital Gage? The Digital Gage is a non-destructive coating thickness measurement device that utilizes advanced eddy current technology. But don’t let the technical jargon scare you – it's incredibly user-friendly. Think of it like a smart ruler for coatings. You simply place the gage on the coated surface, press a button, and it instantly displays the coating thickness on a bright, easy-to-read LCD screen. “It’s honestly that simple,” says Mark Johnson, a quality control engineer who tested the Digital Gage at a recent pilot program. “I was expecting a steep learning curve, but my team picked it up in minutes. And the readings are consistently accurate, which is the whole point.” Key Features and Benefits The Digital Gage isn’t just about simplicity; it’s packed with features designed to boost efficiency and improve quality control: Non-Destructive Measurement: The gage doesn't damage the coating, allowing for 100% inspection without compromising product integrity. This is especially crucial for high-value components where even minor damage is unacceptable. High Accuracy & Precision: APEX COATINGS has engineered the Digital Gage to deliver consistent, reliable readings, minimizing errors and ensuring accurate coating specifications are met. They’ve rigorously tested it against industry standards. Versatile Measurement: The Digital Gage isn't limited to just one type of coating. It can accurately measure a wide range of non-magnetic coatings applied to non-magnetic substrates – including paints, powder coatings, varnishes, and even some types of plating – on metals like aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. Multiple Units of Measurement: Users can switch between metric (micrometers) and imperial (mils) units with the touch of a button, making it convenient for international applications. Data Logging Capabilities: The Digital Gage can store hundreds of readings, allowing users to track coating thickness over time and identify potential trends or inconsistencies. This data can be easily downloaded to a computer for further analysis and reporting. Easy Calibration: Calibration is simple and straightforward, ensuring the gage remains accurate over its lifespan. APEX COATINGS provides calibration standards and detailed instructions. Durable & Portable Design: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, the Digital Gage is housed in a rugged, yet lightweight, casing. Its compact size makes it easy to carry and use in tight spaces. Backlit Display: Providing clear readings in almost any lighting condition, the backlit display enhances visibility and reduces eye strain. Applications Across Industries The Digital Gage is proving to be a valuable tool for a wide range of industries: Aerospace: Ensuring proper coating thickness on aircraft components for corrosion protection and performance. Automotive: Verifying coating thickness on vehicle bodies and parts for durability and aesthetics. Construction: Inspecting coatings on steel structures, pipelines, and tanks to prevent corrosion. Manufacturing: Monitoring coating thickness on a variety of industrial equipment and components. Marine: Ensuring adequate coating thickness on ships, boats, and offshore platforms for corrosion resistance. Powder Coating: Checking coating thickness on a variety of powder coated parts and products.
