Gloss Measurement (OGM)

The OCS Gloss Measurement (OGM) is designed for the constant and precise control of film gloss properties. The measuring device is integrated into the Modular Film Analyser (MFA). It enables a continuous measurement of the gloss value on polymer film. The gloss properties of films are analysed based on their different ability to reflect light. A special LED lighting unit illuminates the continuous film while a photo diode measures the strength of the reflected light. The measured amount of gloss, from matt to glossy, is given in GU (Gloss Units).
