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
