Prepare
Place cutters 1, 2, 3 and/or 4
The knife holder can hold three knives at the same time. Numbers are engraved on the wheels of the knife holder. At the bottom of the wheel you can see the number of the currently selected tool. When assembling, make sure this number corresponds to the cutter. Knives No. 1 and No. 4 share a place.
1. Place the SuperPIG sideways on a flat surface with the wheels of the knife holder (1) facing down.
2. Loosen the bolt (8) using the supplied hexagonal wrench -3. Place the cutter on the stand with the numbers facing up, and slide the cutter (carefully!) inward until you feel resistance. Tighten the screws using the included hex key -3.
3. Use the rollers to go to the next knife holder and place the cutter as above. Don't forget that the knives are loaded; be careful
Place the cross-cut knife
A cross-hatch cutter can be installed to assess the quality of the bond to the substrate.
1. Rotate the grid support slightly, and then click "click".
2. Loosen the bolt (8) using the included hex key-3 so that the cross-shaped cutter fits the screw.
3. Tighten the bolts (8) using the supplied hexagonal wrench -3.
Preparation before measurement
Before using the test board for actual use of SuperPIG, it should be professionally set up several times:
1. Mark the test panel with a black line with a contrast of 20mm on the white light coating.
2. Turn the end of the lamp (4) to activate the lighting and place the lighting point (using a SuperPIG straight line) in the center of the black line.
3. Observe the surface through the microscope (3) and adjust the focus of the microscope with the knob (6) until the border of the black line becomes clear.
4. SuperPIG is now adjusted and ready to use.
perform measurements
1. Mark the inspection surface with a black line of about 20mm.
2. Place the SuperPIG's cutter under the wire and pull (do not apply pressure on the gauge) the SuperPIG through it (in the direction shown in the picture) to cut the coating. Any deeper cuts will affect the accuracy of the measurement as they will stress
On the substrate, this will distort the pattern of the coating. An additional disadvantage is that the tool wears out much faster than necessary.
3. Tilt the SuperPIG and place the lighting area (7) on the intersection he cut with the black line.
4. Look through the microscope (3) and turn the knob (6) to focus on the inspection area. (see picture)
5. Read off the scale scale and multiply the scale by the D factor engraved on the SuperPIG.
