SMOOTH AND PROFILED<br />

METERING RODS<br />

<strong>Metering</strong> rods are precision tools.<br />

The production tolerances are within<br />

the μm range. During production,<br />

any deviation in diameter, smooth<br />

run, coating, etc. results in fluctuations<br />

in quantity <strong>and</strong> / or quality of<br />

the coating.<br />

<strong>Horst</strong> <strong>Sprenger</strong> offers more than 50<br />

different st<strong>and</strong>ard profiles (fine to<br />

coarse), thus allowing metering of<br />

virtually all possible coating volumes.<br />

Importance of metering rod precision<br />

for coating volume<br />

A deviation of only 1 µm in the depth of the profile,<br />

for instance, can lead to approx. 5 % change in<br />

index or coating volume.<br />
