CDR GalvanLab® for Industrial Galvanics.
Strict adherence to tolerances arises from precise chemical analysis of the bath
Chemical rigor behind functional reliability
In technical treatments such as zinc plating, chemical nickel plating or thick chrome plating, the metal deposit must meet strict functional specifications. In this area, dimensional accuracy, strength and perfect adhesion are the only priorities.
The real hidden cost to companies is nonconformity detected too late: discovering a process anomaly only after the batch has been fully produced, during slow destructive salt spray tests or, worse, as a result of a customer complaint. Out-of-tolerance thicknesses or structural brittleness frequently result from discontinuous monitoring of key bath components, such as base metal concentration, pollutants, technical additives, or pH.
Directly on-site analytical testing
Adopting CDR GalvanLab® turns process control into a continuous operational advantage by introducing real-time data certainty. Analyzing critical parameters in minutes, directly online, provides objective information to correct chemical drifts before they compromise design tolerances.
By reducing external sampling and providing control traceability, the system ensures that each protective layer strictly adheres to mechanical specifications, zeroing in on disruptions to manufacturing partners operating in Just-in-Time logic.

Frequently Asked Questions about CDR GalvanLab®:
A: The system’s reliability is confirmed by studies from universities and specialized institutes. Our clients worldwide attest to its effectiveness: Some methods are used by prestigious multinational groups.
A: Each CDR test method is correlated with the corresponding international reference method, and in some cases is also adopted by accredited laboratories.
A: At startup, the instrument automatically checks the reading cell and blocks the analysis if an error is detected. In addition, CDR provides Control Solutions, samples with predefined results that allow users to regularly verify both instrument performance and operator accuracy. Integration with SAP further supports monitoring of the system’s status.
A: Because CDR GalvanLab® analyzers are factory pre-calibrated together with their reagents, with calibration data embedded in the instrument and each reagent lot aligned to previous lots; an automatic self-check at every startup verifies performance, so routine user calibration is unnecessary, with fine-tuning available if necessary when aligning to alternative methods or legacy datasets. For a deeper explanation of how calibration is designed and managed, you click and read the full article.
A: No, CDR GalvanLab® requires neither maintenance nor periodic cleaning.
This is possible thanks to its optical technology based on an LED reading cell, which does not need calibration or periodic replacement, unlike traditional tungsten lamps or other more delicate systems. No drift over time, no corrective action required.
Its compact and robust design also makes the instrument ideal for direct use on production lines, even in demanding operational environments such as olive mills, wineries, breweries, or plants with industrial fryers.
Many of our customers have been using CDR GalvanLab® for years, performing hundreds of analyses per week, without ever having to stop operations for maintenance activities.A: No qualified technicians is needed: the system is intuitive and accessible to anyone.
A: Yes. CDR GalvanLab® uses reagents in minimal quantities, significantly reducing operator risks compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the use of micro-analysis contributes to sustainability by reducing reagent consumption, waste generation, and emissions, while ensuring safe and efficient quality control in plating processes.
