Catch Surface-Prep Problems Before They Become Coating Defects
The Dropometer is a smartphone-based portable drop shape analyzer delivering lab-quality contact angle and surface energy measurements (±0.35° accuracy, benchmarked against KRÜSS DSA100E) — battery-powered and ready for the production floor.
Feature Strip
1-Tap Pass/Fail Surface Prep
Standardize prep checks. Catch wetting issues early. Reduce downstream rework.
Key Features
- Set min/max contact-angle limits.
- QC users get clear Green / Red decisions.
- Built for faster, more consistent go / check / stop decisions.
With The ML Add-On
- Results are instantaneous with no manual baseline adjustment.
- Any QC staff member can run measurements from day one — no specialists required.
Multi-Spot Wetting Mapping
Measure across a defined grid and view results as a Matrix/Heatmap.
See where wetting falls out of range before coating goes down. Find localized contamination that single-point checks can miss.
Key Features
- Detect hotspots
- Check prep uniformity
- Troubleshoot defects earlier
Instant Heatmap Visualization
- Capture multiple drops across your grid: place drop, photograph, reposition, repeat.
- Press Calculate once — all images process instantly and display as a color-coded heatmap.
4 Metrics. One Portable System.
| Metric | Range | Resolution | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact Angle | 10°–175° | 0.01° | ±0.35° |
| Surface Tension | Up to 75 mN/m | 0.01 mN/m | ±0.03 mN/m |
| Surface Energy | Up to 100 mN/m | 0.01 mN/m | ±0.03 mN/m |
| Sliding Angle | 10°–175° | 0.01° | ±0.35° |
USD 5,000 — one-time purchase
No subscriptions, no per-test fees.
One rework event typically costs more than this instrument. Catch one prep failure early and it's paid for.
“We completed our gage R&R study on the unit and it performed very well. The machine learning add-in saves a lot of time on measurements. You guys made a really great product that fits our needs very well.”
