ABSTRACT:
A device for checking the coating of anodized light-metal parts (e.g. Aluminum), in particular by TSA anodization, is described. The device has two contact electrodes on respective resilient probes, placed onto the surface of the component to be tested under a predefined contact pressure; an enabling device coupled to the probes that generates an enable signal when the predefined contact pressure is reached; and a conductivity measuring device coupled to the contact electrodes that measures the conductivity of the surface of the component under test.The conductivity measuring device is coupled to the enabling device to detect the enable signal. When the enable signal is detected, the conductivity measuring device measures the surface conductivity of the component under test between the contact electrodes and generates an output signal indicating the measured conductivity. The device distinguishes between a measured low conductivity value, signifying a correct coating, and a measured high conductivity value, signifying a lack of the coating.
