AELAB GM-206 20°/60° Gloss Meter for Surface Gloss Measurement and Quality Control

Overview

The AELAB GM-206 20°/60° gloss meter is widely used in floor maintenance, surface cleaning quality control, and gloss measurement of stone and ceramic tile. The AELAB GM-206 gloss meter supports checking printed matter and provides quality control of paint and ink while ensuring stable measurement of polished metal surfaces.

Designed for fast surface gloss measurement, the AELAB GM-206 gloss meter supports accurate measurement and good repeatability, with auto calibration and data memorization for up to 254 groups. The GM-206 gloss meter includes USB/RS-232 connectivity and optional Bluetooth output for laboratory and industrial integration.

⚙️ Design & Construction

The AELAB GM-206 gloss meter is a separate-type portable appearance measurement instrument consisting of a handheld main unit and an external probe for controlled surface contact. The compact probe geometry supports consistent measuring area alignment of 7 mm × 14 mm (Ellipse), improving repeatable gloss quantification across coated, ceramic, and metallic substrates. A 4-digit backlit LCD enables clear gloss value reporting in low-light inspection environments.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The AELAB GM-206 20°/60° gloss meter measures surface gloss by directing a controlled light beam at specified angles of 20° and 60° and quantifying reflected intensity in Gloss Units (GU). The GM-206 compares reflected light against a calibrated reference standard to calculate gloss values across 0.1 GU~200 GU. Automatic calibration and stabilized detection logic ensure accurate surface gloss measurement for production quality control and laboratory material testing.
