Compact Benchtop Micro XRF Analysis
INSIGHT Ironware Application Plant analyzer, characterized by high sensitivity, non-destructive testing, user-friendly operation, precise testing accuracy, and a compact design, serves as a top-notch solution.
The quality inspection of various coating products can vary depending on the specific part and type of coating. However, certain aspects such as appearance, thickness, resistance to corrosion, and bonding strength with the base metal must be assessed for all coatings. Among these factors, the thickness of the coating stands out as crucial for ensuring quality in plated parts.
Addressing the challenges of detecting and screening issues in surface treatment process control, product quality inspection, and other stages of ironware application, the INSIGHT Ironware Application Plant an efficient and intelligent XRF analysis instrument.
INSIGHT Ironware Application Plant not only enables elemental analysis of samples with diverse shapes, including uneven and irregular ones, but also facilitates thickness measurement of coatings and coating systems. Widely used in quality control, incoming material inspection, and production process control across various industries, it aids customers in cutting down material costs and adhering to relevant industrial standards.
BATHROOM PRODUCTS
Bathroom ironware typically consists of three main components: the base (fixed parts), connecting parts, and functional parts. Electroplating, the primary process for bathroom ironware, is critical to product quality, service life, smoothness, and wear resistance.
IRONWARE APPLIANCES
Ironware appliances are crafted from metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin. The coating process is widely applied, including zinc plating, copper plating, nickel plating, gold plating, silver plating, tin plating, rhodium plating, palladium plating, and alloy plating.
DECORATIVE COATING
Decorative coatings enhance both aesthetics and durability. Examples include Au and Cu-Zn imitation gold plating, black chrome, and black nickel plating, which improve corrosion and wear resistance.
SINGLE COATING
It is capable of detecting the thickness and elemental composition of individual plating layers, including iron nickel plating, copper nickel plating, iron chrome plating, copper tin plating, copper gold plating, copper silver plating, and more.
ABS ELECTROPLATING LAYER
With the rapid growth of the industry, plastic electroplating—especially ABS—has become increasingly prevalent in the decorative electroplating of plastic components. In comparison to metal components, plastic electroplating offers the advantage of achieving a desirable metal texture while also reducing product weight. Additionally, it effectively enhances the appearance and decorative qualities of plastics while improving performance in terms of electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Multi-Collimator
INSIGHT's software automatically switches between multiple collimator options or combinations, enhancing its versatility significantly. This feature allows it to adapt flexibly to parts of various sizes, improving its overall performance.
One-Touch Measurement
The instrument comes with intuitive and intelligent analysis software that is user-friendly. Operating it is simple, requiring no specialized training. With just a click on "Start Test," anyone can analyze samples. Test results are then available within seconds.
Nondestructive Testing
X-ray fluorescence is a non-destructive analytical process that leaves no traces, making it very safe for measuring even on sensitive materials.
High-Performance Detector
We opt for Si-PIN detectors, which are ideal for multi-element coatings. Compared to traditional gas proportional counters, Si-PIN offers superior resolution, lower background noise (resulting in the highest signal-to-noise ratio), long-term stability, and an extended service life.
High-Precision Manual X-Y Platform
The system features a high-precision manual X-Y platform with a maximum accuracy of 25μm, facilitating more convenient micro-area measurements.
Auto Focus
Samples of diverse shapes can be swiftly and sharply focused, with the ability to zoom in on video images, incorporate crosshairs, and utilize autofocus.
Automatic Focusing
High and low-sized samples can be quickly and clearly focused, with the ability to enlarge video images, include a reticle, and utilize autofocus.
Large Measurement Room
The slotted design (C-slot) of the instrument shell widens the measurement space and facilitates easy placement of samples. This design allows for the measurement of large and flat items like printed circuit boards, as well as accommodating large samples with complex shapes.
