Features

• For coating thickness measurements in the electroplating industry
• Fixed aperture and fixed primary filter
• X-ray tube with a slightly larger primary spot, well suited for applications with measurement spot sizes starting at about 1 mm
• Low-energy beam components are excited with lower effectiveness, however for standard applications measuring the thickness of typical electroplated coatings such as Cr, Ni, Cu, this poses little to no problem
• Measuring direction from bottom to top, this allows for quick and easy sample positioning
• Large measurement chamber with a cutout (C-slot)
• Standard X-ray tube, proportional counter tube

Typical fields of application

• Measurement of coatings such as Au/Ni/Cu/PCB or Sn/Cu/PCB in the PC Board industry
• Coatings on connectors and contacts in the electronics industry
• Decorative coatings Cr/Ni/Cu/ABS
• Electroplated coatings such as Zn/Fe, ZnNi/Fe as corrosion protection on mass-produced parts (screws and nuts)
• Jewellery and watch industry
• Determination of the metal content of electroplating baths
