Helmut Fischer - First-class measuring instruments for coating thickness measurement, material analysis and material testing

Helmut Fischer GmbH is a full-service supplier in the field of surface testing and has been developing high precision instruments for surface measurements since 1953. As a leading manufacturer of measuring instruments, our portfolio extends from simple handheld devices for quick measurements on the go to fully integrated high-end systems that automatically monitor production. For every application we provide the right solution. 

Helmut Fischer X-RAY XRF Fluorescence Instruments

A FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY is the ideal choice for non-destructive, contact-free coating thickness measurement and material analysis. Since 1983, our XRF instruments have been an integral part of quality testing in almost all major industries. Our instruments are well-known for their precision, accuracy and durability. At the same time FISCHERSCOPE X-RAYs are designed to be user-friendly and to support you in all aspects of measuring. This enables you to focus on the quality job at hand and not on the measuring instrument.

Helmut Fischer Handheld Gauges for Material Testing

Special attention is paid to industries such as construction or aerospace, as safety and reliability must be ensured. Regular checks to ensure that welds on stainless steel pipes and containers are in good order or that the aluminum structure on aircrafts is at risk of fatigue are essential for survival. Material failure can have fatal, irreversible consequences. Therefore, the rule is: trust is good - control is better! This also applies to the gold industry, among others. Do not be deceived by appearances. Even if the gold coating still shines so beautifully. If the core is made of copper, as seen in a huge fraud scandal in China, this can have drastic economic consequences.

Helmut Fischer Automation

Automation is the next step in the development of the manufacturing industry. Fischer is a global turnkey solution provider which provides comprehensive automation systems with fast return on investment. All of our instruments are designed for fast and accurate measurement directly in the production process. We develop reliable solutions that are not only economical and precise, but also make your work as easy as possible. Our experts will work closely with you throughout the entire process in order to find the best measurement solution for your task. This includes conception to implementation and maintenance.

Helmut Fischer Couloscope and MMS Benchtop Instruments

Fischer benchtop units exceed the capabilities of handheld gages by offering more and different measurement techniques. With COULOSCOPE® CMS2 and COULOSCOPE® CMS2 STEP, literally any metallic layer, even multi-layers, can be measured on any substrate. The FISCHERSCOPE® MMS® PC2 can employ up to 8 different electro-magnetic measurement techniques at the same time, resulting in a range 60 different probes.

Helmut Fischer Nanoindentation and scratch testing

From protective laquer coatings all the way to hard PVD layers, the quality of the surface decides if a part works as intended. But how can we realiably assess the quality of a surface?

The mobile, all-around capabilities of the Fischer DMP family make them versatile enough for use in a wide range of applications. The flexible devices are the perfect solution for tactile and non-destructive coating thickness measurement of ferrous and non-ferrous base materials. For this, we have just the right model choices for your needs: ISOSCOPE®, DELTASCOPE® or DUALSCOPE®.

Fischer: Introducing the revolutionary DMP instrument series for tactile and non-destructive coating thickness measurement

The new Fischer DMP series is now available in our tactile product portfolio . With the new DMP series, we put an exclamation mark in tactile and non-destructive coating thickness measurement of magnetizable and non-magnetizable base materials. The DMP instruments are convincing in their robust, modern design and being equipped with digital probes and new software for extensive evaluations.

Handheld Coating Thickness Gauges

Many users are not aware of that coatings are of enormous importance in industry. Often, certain products only achieve their functionality with the application of a special coating. Such coatings solve various tasks: as aesthetic finish, protection against corrosion and they fulfill mechanical functions. Therefore, the demands placed on the coating are high.

Helmut-Fischer: Alloy Analysis of Precious Metals with the GOLDSCOPE SD 600 X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument

Fischer's X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument is the most popular brand in alloy analysis of precious metals, material analysis of fashion jewelry, and quality control of high end watches.

Buying and selling physical gold and other precious metals always carries risk. There is a possibility that the gold does not contain the amount of carats it says it has or contains other metals within. Thus, it is important to be able to eliminate this risk with measurement instruments you can trust.

Fischer has decades of experience in manufacturing highly accurate and precise instruments to measure gold non-destructively. These instruments are able to measure alloy concentrations in percentages (or carats) or use electrical conductivity to check if other materials are present inside the gold. Using Fischer instruments ensures that you are able to authenticate the piece of gold you are buying or selling.

Fischerscope XAN Liquid Analyzer: Fully automated analysis of the metal concentration of up to 4 electroplating baths

Electroplating baths are subject to process fluctuations which can have a considerable influence on the deposition behavior and the resulting coating thickness. Continuous monitoring of the solutions is therefore essential. The FISCHERSCOPE® XAN® LIQUID ANALYZER is a fully automatic X-ray fluorescence measuring device that allows you to keep an eye on the metal content of electrolyte solutions or electroplating baths 24/7. You can dispense with time-consuming and costly wet chemical analyses of your baths. Our patented flow cell with an availability of around one year is extremely low-maintenance. Fully automatic rinsing, calibration and monitoring processes work preventively, avoid contamination and thus ensure maximum technical availability of your measuring device.
