Coating Analysis

Analyzers for measuring coating thickness and composition

Getting the right coating thickness is crucial to meeting both economic and quality targets. If your coatings are too thick, your costs are too high and, given the volatile nature of some metal markets, it is far too easy to lose hard-earned profits. On the other hand, if your coatings are too thin, components will not perform or look as expected, and you end up with costly rework or customer complaints.

Hitachi’s range of benchtop XRF analyzers and electromagnetic thickness gauges (using magnetic induction, eddy current, and microresistance) for coating applications delivers high performance, accuracy, and reliability in a series of durable, hard-working instruments that help keep your production running and your product quality high.

Whether you are measuring complex coatings on small electrical connectors, following IPC guidelines, or verifying coating integrity on larger components, you will find a Hitachi instrument that integrates seamlessly into your production.
