Micro spot XRF coating thickness and materials analyzers for rapid quality control and validation testing for electroplating, galvanizing, PVD and CVD operations make it easy to get the right results in seconds whether you are measuring small parts, large assemblies or complex components. 

Coating thickness and materials analysis based on X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a widely accepted and industry-proven analytical technique, offering easy-to-use, fast and non-destructive analysis, requiring little to no sample preparation, capable of analysing solids or liquids over a wide element range from ¹³Al to ⁹²U on the periodic table.

The optimized micro spot hardware and highly intuitive user interface are designed to simplify routine analysis for high throughput, ensuring that minimally trained operators get the same results as expert technical staff using point-and-shoot operation. Advanced users can take advantage of features that make it easy to interpret X-ray spectra, derive custom-built calibrations and investigate unknown materials.

The X-Strata, Eco and MAXXI series products are purpose-built to analyze functional coatings.

Corrosion resistance

Verify the thickness and chemistry of the applied coatings to ensure product functionality and life-span in harsh environments. Handle small fasteners or large assemblies with ease.

Wear resistance

Prevent product failure by ensuring coating thickness and uniformity of critical components operating in abrasive environments. Complex shapes, thin or thick coatings and finished goods can all be measured.

Decorative finish

When the goal is to achieve a flawless finish, quality control throughout the production process is critical. With Oxford Instruments’ range of test equipment, you can reliably inspect base materials, test intermediate and top layers.

High-temperature resistance

Surface treatments for parts operating in the most extreme conditions must be controlled within tight tolerances. Ensure coatings specifications are met to prevent product recalls and potentially catastrophic failures.
