11 preset speeds and adjustable stroke length

Smooth aluminium table for better repeatability

Wide range of standard and high precision, perforated and channelled vacuum tables


An essential machine for preparing a wide variety of product samples including: paint, varnish, cosmetics, glue, etc, with total consistency and reproducibility on various substrates including contrast charts, sheet steel, plastic foils and glass.

Versatile, rugged and precise instruments, the rigid construction ensures a smooth consistent application without the ridges often associated with film application.

A choice of three optional head attachments is available, allowing the flexibility to test using standard film applicators (filmographs), spiral bar coaters or a combination of both.

Each table is precision engineered for “perfect” flatness, making them up to five times flatter than glass. This accuracy is maintained with our vacuum tables, allowing the testing of thick or thin coated substrates whilst maintaining the highest levels of accuracy.

  • Interchangeable head attachments:
    Allowing the user to test using film applicators or spiral bar coaters.
  • Durable and rugged:
    Sturdy, rigid design to ensure minimal movement during film application.
  • Choice of bed:
    Standard flat table, single channel vacuum table, double channel vacuum table or perforated table.
  • Smooth & multiple concurrent tests:
    Up to three film applicators can be used simultaneously. Test up to two Leneta test charts simultaneously.

Film Application & Test Charts
For numerous products such as paint, ink, varnishes, glue and cosmetics, the reliability of many laboratory tests is directly related to the quality of the samples prepared from it.

It is absolutely essential that any measurements made on such coatings, whether for the purpose of describing their appearance or their physical properties (colour, gloss, hiding power, drying time, etc), are made on the basis of uniform and comparable samples with precisely controlled thickness.

In order to meet such specific demands, Elcometer has a wide range of high quality, high precision film applicators and motorised film applicators for greater repeatability and reproducibility when undertaking a large number of sample tests.

Elcometer also offer a wide range of Leneta Test Charts – the market standard – to meet all your specific requirements
