A paint on an airplane, a metal anti-corrosion deposit, a rubber sealing coating in a car engine, a plate in watchmaking... Coatings are ubiquitous on industrial parts. In process industries depositing coatings on thousands of parts, thickness control is essential to ensure quality, compliance and optimize plant consumption. Current control technologies are either destructive, require contact with the part, or have significant integration constraints that prevent online production measurement.
Enovasense has developed a unique coating thickness control process that performs instant measurement, non-destructive and without contact with the part. These advantages are linked to photothermic radiometric technology: a laser from the measuring head slightly warms up the coating to be measured. The re-emissed heat flow, linked to the thickness of the layer, is collected by an infrared detector and interpreted by state-of-the-art algorithms in a deported case of the deposit chain.
With the most compact, lightest and modular measuring head on the market, enovasense's device brings an industrial break by facilitating the online production integration of this type of sensor as never before. These features also allow for the installation of multi-head measurement systems that allow the simultaneous and instantaneous measurement of several points per piece.
Enovasense is a French technology start-up developed by specialized engineers from the Institute of Optics. The company has been the winner of the World Innovation Competition and twice the National Competition of the Ministry of Research. It intervenes on an ever-increasing number of industrial applications by deploying in factories online measuring devices for the automotive, aeronautics, consumer goods, housing sectors...
