New Scanning Spray for Ultra-Small Parts to be Introduced at Formnext Show

A ‘puff’ for small, shiny parts

Little trick for scanning small, very shiny components: thanks to an airbrush, the AESUB yellow scanning spray can reach into even the most delicate grooves or indentations. The 1 µm matting layer ensures optimum scanning results.

The shiny surface of the turbine is difficult to capture with the optical scanner.

To improve the measurement of filigree clockworks, delicate jewelry or tiny microchips, the scanning spray AESUB yellow has been developed for very thin spray coatings.

Using an airbrush gun, the very fine spray is applied evenly to the objects. Due to its low viscosity it reaches even the smallest notches and grooves.  Within a few seconds, the spray has dried and forms an extremely thin and homogeneous matting layer with a thickness of 0.5 – 1 µm.

AESUB yellow is applied to the glossy object with an airbrush. A matting layer of 0.5 – 1 µm is created.

The matting creates high contrast values on the component surface and thus optimum conditions for optical measurements, which can be carried out over a period of about two hours. After four to six hours, the spray coating has completely evaporated. The component is clean again and can be reused without any problems.

“Since the scanning spray evaporates completely, the objects can be sprayed directly in the measuring area,” explains Max Liese, AESUB managing director.

Comparison of the scans with and without AESUB yellow scanning spray.

AESUB yellow contains no pigments and is also free of titanium dioxide, which is hazardous to health.

Formnext Show 2022, Frankfurt

AESUB will be exhibiting the new scanning spray at Formnext from November 15 – 18: 12.1 G38. Please feel free to stop by and visit us. The AESUB team is looking forward to seeing you!
