Modules and application examples
The PERMASCOPE® is a versatile module for coating thickness measurement. It combines two measuring methods: the magnetic induction and eddy current methods.
Typical applications:
- Electrically insulating coatings on various metals, e. g. paint on steel or aluminum
- Electrically conductive, non-magnetizable layers on ferrous metals, such as zinc, copper or chromium on steel
- Weakly electrically conductive layers on highly conductive metals, e. g. chrome and electroless nickel on copper or aluminum
- Thickness of solder layer on copper in printed circuit board production
- Graphite layers on piston surfaces or corrosion protection layers on brake disks in the automotive sector
- Ferrite content in austenitic or duplex steels

The SIGMASCOPE® / PHASCOPE® determines the electrical conductivity of metals and can be used either for coating thickness measurement or for identifying non-ferrous metals.
Typical applications SIGMASCOPE® / PHASCOPE®1:
- Measuring copper layers on PCBs
- Testing of aluminum alloys in incoming goods
- Electrical conductivity of non-magnetic metals such as copper, aluminum, titanium
- Copper layers in printed circuit board holes
- Coatings of Cu, Zn, Ni on ferromagnetic base materials (steel or iron)
Typical applications SIGMASCOPE® / PHASCOPE®2:
- Copper layers in printed circuit board holes

The PHASCOPE® DUPLEX was specially developed for the automotive industry to measure duplex coatings (paint and zinc on steel) in a single step. It uses three measuring methods: the magnetic inductive measuring method as well as the amplitude-sensitive and phase-sensitive eddy current method.
Typical applications:
- Paint on steel and aluminum
- Paint and zinc coatings (thin EPD coatings) on steel; both coatings are measured in one step
- Brake line hoses
- Wire (mesh and grid), such as for shopping carts
Do you have other applications? Then contact us!
The NICKELSCOPE® is based on the Hall effect and uses the different magnetizability of the coating and base material for coating thickness measurement.
Typical applications:
- Electroplated nickel layers on non-ferrous metals and insulating base materials
- Non-magnetic coatings such as copper, aluminum or lead on steel or iron
- Ferrous coatings on piston surfaces in the automotive sector

The SR-SCOPE® is a special module for the electronics industry. It uses the micro-resistance method and is suitable for measuring the thickness of individual copper layers on multilayer PCBs - without the influence of deeper layers.
Typical applications:
- Copper thickness on laminates or multilayers in PCB production
Do you have other applications? Then contact us!
The microresistivity measurement method used by the SR-SCOPE® is very temperature-dependent. To be on the safe side and obtain precise and reproducible measurement results, the temperature module is the ideal addition to the SR-SCOPE® module.
