The kSA XRF
Check out the kSA XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence). Designed primarily for glass and solar panel inspection applications, the kSA XRF measures the layer thickness of film on glass and solar panels at levels that are too thin for reliable optical measurements.
kSA XRF highlights:
- Allows for the measurement of dielectric coatings that are too thin for optical measurements, such as those that are thinner than 100 nm.
- Can measure the thickness of thin metal films on various substrates.
- Real-time data analysis helps users immediately identify defects in the coating thickness while providing feedback control.
- In-process QC validation ensures that coating thickness is within tolerances.
Its straightforward functionality requires little to no operator interaction and only occasional operator calibration.
New kSA 400 Features
1. Incremental Storage
The kSA 400 now supports writing the acquired data to the hard disk in increments during acquisition, instead of storing all data in RAM and waiting until the acquisition is complete before writing to disk.
2. Gun Control Adjustments
Users can now increment/decrement gun control settings in 0.1 intervals by holding down the CTRL key while clicking the UP/DOWN control arrows in the Gun Control window.
3. Movie Image Size Scaling
The kSA 400 now allows users to change the image size when acquiring a movie. To configure this feature, click the Advanced button in the data acquisition window and then specify the image size on the Movie Storage tab.
