A universal X-ray coating thickness measurement and material analysis system designed for the Inspection of electronic components, PCB’s and other precision metal finishing applications

The ComPact 5 is an excellent choice when coating thickness measurement and material analysis applications demand high precision and versatility

Single, binary and ternary coating thickness applications are measured precisely and non-destructively. Coating thickness and alloy composition can be analysed simultaneously. The ComPact 5 can also determine primary metals concentration in plating bath solutions & perform substrate sorting of pre-plated stock.

The compact chamber, together with an optimised X-ray beam geometry allows the use of very small collimators. A software controlled optional multiple position collimator changer in conjunction with programmable X-ray tube power provides versatility to adapt the system to almost any application.

The programmable XYZ sample stage configuration facilitates automatic measurement sequences, making the ComPact 5 and ideal tool for the electronics and telecommunication industries, as well as for precision metal finishing applications.
