Fischerscope X-ray XDLM237 combines high-intensity beam of a micro-focus tube with a small aperture and large detector window. Advantages include non-destructive measurements without damage to tools; fast measurement times; measurement spot of 50μm. Layer thickness reportedly can be measured on the finest cutting edges of high-end tools. Can determine base tools’ metallic composition. Has programmable XY-stage and Z-axis for automated measurements.
