TracePad

Portable particle extraction for any surface

The PartikelART TracePad is a specially engineered adhesive pad used to extract particulate contamination from component surfaces, tools, and ambient environments. It captures particles consistently and reproducibly, forming the foundation for a reliable and standardized analysis workflow.

How it is used

Place the TracePad onto the component surface to be tested. Apply uniform pressure to ensure complete contact. Peel back gently to lift particles from the surface. Place the TracePad onto the Lightbox scan area and launch the LensApp to begin analysis.

PartikelART TracePad

Use Cases and Environments

Incoming Goods Inspection

Sample supplier parts before they enter production to detect contamination early.

Assembly Lines

Monitor workstations and component trays for ambient particle accumulation.

Cleanroom Monitoring

Track surface cleanliness levels in controlled manufacturing environments.

Tool & Fixture Surfaces

Verify that fixtures and tools do not introduce contamination into assemblies.

Final Product Validation

Confirm part cleanliness before shipping to meet customer specifications.

Available Sizes

25 × 25 mm

For small components, precision parts, and tight access areas.

50 × 50 mm

Standard size for most surface inspections and general use.

100 × 100 mm

For large surfaces, extended sampling areas, and ambient monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the TracePad be reused?

No. TracePads are single-use consumables. Reusing a pad would compromise the particle count and analysis accuracy.

What particle sizes can the system detect?

The system can detect particles from approximately 25 µm upwards, consistent with VDA 19.1 and ISO 16232 requirements.
