Hand-held instrument for measuring coating thickness on PC Boards and electroplated surfaces. The hand-held PHASCOPE® PMP10 is ideally suited for quality control in the electroplating and printed circuit board (PCB) industries. Because the instrument employs the phase-sensitive eddy current method (ISO 21 968), it allows the measurement of metal coatings on any substrate. A specially designed probe even enables measurements in PCB throughholes.
Applications
- Measuring copper thickness in PCB through-holes, especially on thick PC Boards.
- Measuring coating thickness of nickel on steel
- Measuring zinc or copper on steel â despite rough surfaces and complex surface geometries
- Measuring the thickness of non-ferrous metals on non-ferrous metals, given sufficient difference in conductivity, e.g. copper on brass or bronze
- Measuring the thickness of non-ferrous metals on insulating substrates, such as copper layers on circuit boards.
- Sheet metal processing
- Paint/zinc on iron, e.g. thin EPD coatings
- Paint on aluminium
- Paint on steel
- Brake line tubing
- Wire (mesh and lattice), e.g. shopping trolleys
