See problems before they occur
Anyone using aluminium alloys, stainless steels, brass and any other alloys could avoid production problems by a simple check of the component or stock material before processing.
Anyone using aluminium alloys, stainless steels, brass and any other alloys could avoid production problems such as poor machining, tool damage or chattering due to poor adhesion and poor anodising, by a simple check of the component or stock material before processing Current conductivity instruments use different frequency signals depending on the measurement task, so that optimum results can be obtained on thin sheet or large castings, for example

Software detects production line weaknesses
Software shows 'at a glance' if there's a weakness in a manufacturing process or production line, such as in electroplating or heat treatment operations.
Coating thickness instrument is easy to use
An online demonstration has been set up to show how an advanced, hand-held coating thickness instrument is easy to use and how it does everything that a bench-mounted instrument can do.
Instruments like the Fischer SMP10, can display just a simple reading or statistical functions such as mean or standard deviation, if required.
It is even possible to have a graphical output with individual results shown between set limits.
Results would be stored on-board if required and up-loaded to a computer for analysis of a batch or for long term tracking of variations.
Whatever the industry, components or material stock can easily be verified by a conductivity measurement.
Conductivity varies greatly between materials and just as characteristics, such as strength in an alloy, is changed by small variations of the alloy composition, these changes also have a large effect on conductivity.
It's an area so often overlooked, with potentially serious implications and yet it is so easily rectified.
