Flexible measuring devices for coating thickness measurement of filigree parts like plugs, contacts, wires or smaller circuit boards as well as for the determination of the metal content of electroplating baths and the composition of simple alloy layers. Complex offline methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, are state-of-the-art for monitoring quality and consistence of electroplating solutions during the deposition process. In a joint project, Fraunhofer ENAS and. The MasterXRF® instruments are X-ray fluorescence spectrometers for the inline analysis of plating solutions in the electroplating industry. It is the ideal instrument for industrial process control, improving product quality, and saving money. They can be configured with features including a motorized precision sample stage and alignment tools for repeatable positioning, adjustable lighting and zoomable camera. ab instrument.
