(BI: Louisville, CO) -- Boulder Imaging (BI) has released a transformational surface detection product, the SCG series grind gauge. The fully automated SCG Series inspection System provides accurate, repeatable, and retrievable grind analyses.

A full analysis of pigment distribution and a final reading of particle grind size is immediately provided by BI’s core software platform, Vision Inspector. Initial targeted markets for the SCG include coatings and ink manufacturers, with applications for other industries including cosmetics, adhesives, dyes, resins, and food.

“Grind analysis is highly subjective when performed by human inspectors,”says Carlos Jorquera, CEO and CTO of BI. “The standard American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) method involves subjectively factoring out outlier particles and writing down a reading, all in a very limited time window, then wiping away the sample and leaving no way to verify the result.”
