TRIBO TECNIC (France)｜”Calotester”: Coating thickness gauge

An innovative film thickness gauge designed for rapid and high-precision measurement of hard coatings. This unique 2-in-1 device can handle a wide range of applications, from lab samples to large industrial parts. By using a rotating ball to wear the sample surface, it accurately calculates the coating thickness.

【Key Features】
• All necessary equipment for thickness measurement is integrated.
• High-precision measurement is controlled by a microprocessor and spherical wear set.
• The worn coating is observed under a microscope for accurate measurement.
• The microscope holder allows precise adjustment along the X and Y axes.
• Measurement results are automatically saved as reports and can be sent to a PC.
• Suitable for sample preparation for density depth profile measurement using AUGER electron spectroscopy.
• USB2 video color camera with 1280x1024 resolution.
• Conforms to standard specifications ISO EN-1071-2 and VDI 3198.

【Specifications】
• Ball Diameter: 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm
• Rotation Speed: Adjustable from 200 to 1000 RPM
• Microscope: 50x magnification with 0.02mm scale
• Measurement Range: 5% for coating thickness (up to 10% for coatings below 1μm)
• Timer: Adjustable from 1 to 30 minutes

【Applications】
• PVD and CVD coatings
• Sputtering and ion plating
• Vacuum deposition
• Anodizing
• Zinc plating coatings
• Chemical coatings
