Hitachi FT200 series: Coating thickness measurement for electroplating companies
With the FT200 series from Hitachi, electroplating companies can apply thinner and smaller coatings and precisely measure their thickness. This makes it a powerful, flexible and user-friendly solution for the challenges of modern electroplating.
Electroplating companies are facing a variety of challenges today. Rising raw material prices, particularly for precious metals such as gold and platinum, require a reduction in material costs while maintaining the same high quality. At the same time, new technologies - such as electromobility - are changing the requirements for coating systems. The FT200 series from Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science GmbH offers a powerful solution for this. In view of high precious metal prices, it makes more economic sense than ever to apply thinner and smaller-area coatings. The FT210 and FT230 models from Hitachi enable even the finest coatings to be measured using precise analysis methods.
Precise coating thickness measurement of galvanic coatings
The FT200 series also impresses with regard to new industrial applications. The technical challenges are mastered by modern components. Thanks to distance-independent measurement, flexible collimators and a precise X/Y table, a wide range of requirements can be reliably met. Modern and powerful detectors ensure the necessary measurement performance. Another plus point is the user-friendly software. The intuitive interface simplifies operation, reduces training requirements and increases productivity. In addition, the newly developed software offers full Windows 11 compatibility and is therefore ideally equipped for the coming years. In the modern application laboratory in Krefeld, the FT200 series devices can be tested and customer samples analyzed in order to evaluate specific requirements. Thanks to in-depth expertise in XRF and SEM, users receive precise, application-oriented advice.
