Conformal Coating Thickness Measurement Equipment
Accurate testing for PCB reliability
Accurately measuring conformal coating thickness is essential for quality control, helping demonstrate compliance to standards such as IPC-A-610, and supporting long-term PCB reliability. SCH provides a complete range of conformal coating thickness measurement equipment to suit different coating types and production needs.
Choose a method based on coating transparency, substrate material, required accuracy, and whether you need in-process or final QA verification.
Optical film thickness measurement
Optical film systems such as the KR-FM20 provide non-contact, high-precision measurement of transparent coatings including Parylene. Using spectral reflectance, these systems deliver quick, accurate readings without damaging the PCB surface.
- Non-destructive measurement
- Ideal for transparent coatings (e.g., Parylene)
- Supports thickness verification for IPC-style QA documentation
Dry film thickness gauge β Positector 6000
The Positector 6000 dry film gauge provides fast, reliable thickness readings on coated boards. This portable device is widely used in electronics production to verify coating uniformity and support routine QA checks.
- Portable, user-friendly handheld system
- Supports acrylics, urethanes, silicones, and epoxies (over suitable substrates)
- Instant, repeatable readings for production QA
Wet film thickness measurement
Wet film thickness gauges provide a simple, low-cost way to monitor coating application immediately after dispense/spray/dip. By checking the wet film, operators can estimate final dry film thickness (using solids content), improving process control.
- Cost-effective and easy to use
- Supports in-process control during application
- Works for manual and automated coating processes
