Temperature monitoring in painting and coating applications: Datapaq at European Coatings Show
Cambridge, UK – At the European Coatings Show 2013 in Nuremberg, Germany (Hall 5, Stand 127), Datapaq presents temperature monitoring solutions for industrial coating processes. Specially tailored to paint drying and curing in the automotive industry, the Oven Tracker XL2 system is one of the prime exhibits. The heavy-duty system also caters to high-temperature coating applications up to more than 300 °C, oven manufacturers, and other sectors. Directly upon leaving the oven, green and red LEDs signal whether preprogrammed process criteria have been met. Thereby, any problem can be identified early on. The data logger does not have to be connected to a computer for data readout after every profiling run but performs up to ten consecutive runs.

Datapaq develops and manufactures temperature measuring and analysis systems for all areas of industrial heat treatment. The devices provide reliable and repeatable data for process optimization while also reducing energy consumption and thereby minimizing environmental stress.
