Seiko Instruments SFT-157SC X-Ray Fluorescence Coating Measurement System

Information for Reference Only

The SFT-157 fluorescent X-Ray coating thickness gauge features closed circuit TV (CCTV) for detailed viewing of sample areas under measurement, plus convenient monitoring of all operating parameters and measurement data. System operation is menu driven and self prompting. Spectrum and X-Ray intensity selection are fully automatic, with manual overrides. Continuous auto-correction for system stability is provided to prevent X-Ray and spectrum drift. All data in memory is password protected. Filter positioning is automatic to insure the greatest accuracy. The SFT-157 system corrects for variations of density and base material, and offers multi-point calibration. The X-Y sample stage is fully programmable with external focus and motorized joystick controls facilitating manual operation.
