Bath Analysis Instrument

Application

Measurements on small parts like screws, bolts and nuts
Measurements on contacts and electronic components
Determining of the composition of electroplating baths
Measurements on very small parts, plug contacts and wires
Manual measurements on printed circuit boards
Measurements in the jewellery and watch industries

Features

The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XUL is high performance, compact and universally applicable x-ray measuring instruments. Fischerscope XUL is well suited for the non-destructive coating thickness measurement and material analysis. The instrument is well suited for measurements in quality assurance, incoming inspection and process control.

Design

The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XUL/XULM instruments are designed as user-friendly bench-top instruments. According to the intended use, different versions are available with different support stages
XUL 210: Fixed sample support
XUL 220 and XULM 240: Manually operable XY stage for accurate positioning of small parts
For quick and easy sample positioning, the X-ray source and detector assembly is located in the instruments lower chamber. The measuring direction is from underneath the sample, which is supported by a transparent window. Despite of their compact size, the instruments are equipped with a large measurement chamber. This allows for measurements on larger specimens.
