Introduction
The EddyCus® lab 2020 RMB is a unique industrial eddy current measurement device utilizing frequencies from 10 kHz up to 100 MHz dedicated to the characterization of high specimen. The variation of the measurement frequency allows the control of the penetration depth. The measurement with high frequencies benefits the characterization of near surface material characteristics of bulk materials and thin films. Additionally, the sensitivity increases with increasing measurement frequency. Therefore, also very low conductive materials and layers can be characterized. Furthermore, the device supports the generation of depth profiles by utilization of multi frequency measurements. Measurement parameters are conductivity and related characteristics.
The device is typically used for:
- Conductivity testing of bulk materials with different penetration depth
- Material sorting
- Metal layer thickness testing of conductive layers on non-conductive materials
- Paint thickness determination (lift-off) on conductive materials
- Characterization of material properties such as hardness or microstructure in thin near surface layers of highly and low conductive materials
