Copper Nickel Gold Thickness Tester

The copper-nickel-gold thickness gauge measures the thickness of metal coatings on material surfaces using X-ray fluorescence principles. The instrument emits X-rays to excite atoms in the coating, and calculates the thickness by analyzing the intensity of characteristic X-rays. It is used for quality inspection of electroplating in circuit boards, connectors, and other components to ensure that the coatings meet process requirements.
Selection
When selecting, consider the types of metals to be measured and the thickness range, ensuring the instrument covers common specifications such as copper 0.1–10 μm, nickel 1–50 μm, and gold 0.01–5 μm. Choose fixtures based on the sample shape: use fixed holders for flat pieces and manual probes for irregularly shaped pieces. Check the X-ray tube lifespan and detector type to ensure long-term stability. Evaluate the calibration film configuration and software ease of use.
