Many users are not aware of that coatings are of enormous importance in industry. Often, certain products only achieve their functionality with the application of a special coating. Such coatings solve various tasks: as aesthetic finish, protection against corrosion and they fulfill mechanical functions. Therefore, the demands placed on the coating are high.

Just as important as the coating itself is to test the thickness directly during the manufacture of the products. And that's possible using a portable coating thickness gauge. In this way, cost-effectiveness and the correct function can be guaranteed. If, for example, the gold layer is applied too generously on printed circuit boards, the material costs increase immeasurably. If the layer is too thin, product failure is imminent. However, not only during production but also during the entire life cycle of ships, aircrafts and more, other safety-critical components have to be checked continuously using a coating thickness gauge. In this way, clarity is provided that the coating and the component still meet the requirements.
