Designed to take non-contact measurements on coil coating, the ERX145 can eliminate costly production line color errors, especially in environments with frequent color changes. When paired with ESWin QC software, the ERX145 becomes an inline quality control system that warns operators of color shifts and enables color adjustments.

Keep the Coil Coating Line Moving
With a 45°:0° measurement geometry, the ERX145 Inline can be mounted on a traversing beam over the production line to recognize a color shift early, before the roll is ruined. When paired with ESWin QC software, it provides actionable guidance so operators can make immediate corrections without stopping production. It offers excellent correlation to the ERX45 Lab spectrophotometer and objective evaluation according to accepted international standards to ensure the integrity of inline measurement programs.
Measure Color on Hot Coated Surfaces
The ERX145 Inline is installed behind the water quench where the product is still hot. The built-in pyrometer measures the actual temperature of the hot strip and, along with ESWin QC software, recalculates the color to room temperature so that the inline measurement shows an excellent correlation to the laboratory system. If necessary, the GlossFlash 6060 can be mounted next to it to evaluate color and gloss across the entire length and width of the coil. If the color of a strip is important on both sides, a second ERX145 Inline can be mounted below the roll, too.
Short-Term Stability and Long-Term Accuracy
Uses real dual beam measurement and automatic wavelength calibration. Only requires external calibration every 4 weeks for maximum uptime.
Operates in Harsh Production Environments
Built with durability in mind, the ERX145 is rugged enough to endure dusty production lines without compromising measurement accuracy.
Monitor Color on the Coated Coil
Mounted at a distance of 60mm (2.4”), it takes measurements using a 30mm measurement spot for minimal variation between inline and laboratory measurements.
