Summary for plating thickness measurement machine Discussion
Plating thickness measurement machine is the core topic of this very short thread, where the original poster asks for a way to measure plating thickness. The only answer points to an XRF coating thickness analyzer, suggesting it can be found on Amazon or through George Shahin at Atotech in Rock Hill, South Carolina. No further technical comparison, calibration guidance, or alternative methods are discussed in the excerpt, so the practical takeaway is simply that XRF is the recommended route mentioned in the thread. Because the response is brief and source-limited, it should be read as a lead rather than a full specification or endorsement of one exact model.
Q. I am looking for an x-ray machine for the measurement of plating thickness on small steel components. I would like to hear from people who are using such machines. I plan to buy a used machine.

Ed. note: This RFQ is outdated, but technical replies are welcome, and readers are encouraged to post their own RFQs. But no public commercial suggestions please ( huh? why?).
A. We have a Veeco at our lab in Rock Hill if you would like to try it. I would make one comment on buying a used x-ray machine is that you get a warranty on the tube. If the tube goes you will be out about $5000 to buy and install a new one.
