Standardized Inspection Report

PQCS is the quality control software for PVD coatings developed by PLATIT. It is optimized for easy and fast data acquisition including batch photo, coating thickness and coating adhesion. All data is stored in a database to generate a coating report and graphically display quality trends.
The PQC software offers you several advantages at once:
Easy operation thanks to intuitive user interface
Step-by-step creation of the coating report for logging the coating quality
Automatic database entries incl. customer information, batch information and photo, calo, Rockwell test and adhesion report with scratch tester
User-defined fields can be integrated
Data can be filtered and graphed to identify quality trends

The basic methods of quality control

There are two main methods to control and evaluate the quality of a PVD coating:
  • Coating thickness measurement using a calo tester on test plates and tools
  • Adhesion evaluation by Rockwell or scratch tester
You can obtain the products and devices required for this from PLATIT and have them integrated into your processes. Please feel free contact us for more information and a consultation.

Calo Thickness Tester

Measures coating thickness to assess uniformity and deposition quality.

Rockwell Hardness Tester

Used to evaluate adhesion and hardness between the coating and the substrate.

Scratch Adhesion Tester

Test the adhesion and stability of the coating.
