XRF-3000 coating gauge is designed for online measurement of metal coatings on both sides of metal sheet in Continuous Galvanizing Lines (CGL). The deviations from preset target values are instantly detected allowing immediate corrections to the production process to maintain uniform coating. Hundreds of installations worldwide are impressive evidence of the market acceptance and capability of XRF-3000, designed to be flexible and with open software architecture without compromising on system reliability and ease of maintenance.
