The GFP 2000 works with a wide variety of coating techniques includng instantly useable glue-on sheets or easy to apply paint-on epoxy. Special tinted resins enable the system to automatically measure the coating's thickness, reducing photoelasticity to a simple paint and shoot technique. With the GFP 2000 residual stresses in glass and plastic can easily be assessed without coatings. Production auto glass can be inspected without removing the black paint band!

The GFP 2000 is well suited to the following engineering applications:
Compontent Testing
Impact Testing
Assembly Stress Analysis
Glass Inspection
Flaw Detection
Residual Stress Analysis
FEA Model Verification
Technical Specifications
Only the GFP 2000 utilises a patent pending achromatic circularly polarizing illumination head. The modular design allows a choice of several illumination sources, including high luminance and strobe sources.
The GFP 2000 uses patented kaleidoscopic optics to replicate the image four times on the detector. All sub images are simultaneously analysed with a differently oriented polariser to measure the stress induced at every pixel.
