Measure Silicone Coat Weight in Minutes

Faster, easier quality control with the new second-generation NEX QC II Series

Keep production moving Stop waiting on QC results

Waiting for results slows production.

The second-generation NEX QC II Series delivers faster results for quicker decisions, easier operation for production and QC teams, and improved performance for demanding measurements.

  • Fast results – Get silicone coat weight results in minutes, not hours. 
  • Easy to use – Built for production floors and QC labs. Simple to learn, simple to run.
  • High precision – Measure ultra-low coat weights and metal catalysts with confidence.

Designed for fast, reliable QC in silicone coating operations Built for silicone coating applications

The latest generation of our benchtop system improves how at-line measurements fit into your process. 

  • Fast silicone coat weight measurement (including ultra-low levels)
  • Measures of Sn, Bi, Ti, Pt, and other catalysts in silicone release coatings
  • No helium or special sample cups required
  • Easy sample prep—place a test coupon and measure
  • Intuitive touchscreen interface and built-in printer (no PC required)
  • Dynamic mineralogy variation corrections (no taring required)
  • Documentation for quality and audit requirements

The technology behind fast, reliable results

The NEX QC II Series is a benchtop XRF (EDXRF) analyzer designed for fast elemental testing in industrial QC environments. Operators can quickly learn the system and get results in minutes.

At-line or lab use NEX QC II Series

The NEX QC II Series is a second-generation line of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analyzers built on the proven NEX QC platform. Designed specifically for industrial quality control, the systems deliver fast, non-destructive elemental analysis with no technical background required.

Its compact, fanless design protects internal components in harsh environments, and the embedded computer and built-in printer eliminate the need for PCs on the plant floor. The clear, icon-driven touchscreen interface guides you through setup to results, minimizing training time and reducing operator error.

From real-time monitoring to at-line verification NEX LS

For continuous, real-time monitoring of silicone coat weight, Rigaku also offers the NEX LS in-line system.

Used together, the NEX LS provides real-time process control, while the NEX QC II Series enables fast, at-line verification and deeper analysis.
