Welcome to Fischer Instrumentation (GB) Ltd -
a website dedicated to X-ray analysis of materials and coating thickness measurement
The Helmut Fischer Group brings a unique approach to X-ray analysis, after a long history of coating thickness measurement and material analysis.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE material analysis has always been paramount to our customers, so our material analysis instruments have:
- Large chambers to accommodate complete assemblies, from populated PCBs to gold plated trophys.
- Selectable X-ray beam sizes, from 50 micro metres for material analysis of small components or PCB tracks, up to milli metres for rapid bulk material analysis to include bulk metal analysis, bulk solutions analysis and bulk powder analysis.
- Focussing mechanisms to allow investigation into bores or recesses.
- Programmable XY stages provide array measurements over an entire assembly or automatic measurements on multiple samples.
- The ability to measure and analyse not just coatings but also underlayers.
Fischer's X-ray expertise lies in Material Analysis, RoHS/WEEE compliance, High Reliability > 3% Pb Content Solders, Counterfeit Component Identification, Obsolescent Component Replacement, Precious Metal Assay, Coating Thickness Measurement.
Optimise Quality. Increase Efficiency. Discover how high quality measurement solutions can help your quality control. See our New Automotive Section detailing 3 applications of Fischer's Instrument Range!
Fischer's seminars come to the UK!
Following the second successful seminar in the series, Dr Staib of Fischer commented: 'We are pleased to have hit on a formula that gives maximum benefit to the majority of attendees. There is a definate need to for long established, well respected multinationals like Fischer to share the vast wealth of technical and practical materials know how on a local basis'. A third seminar will be running on 23rd November, at the luxury Coppid Beech Hotel, Bracknell, Berkshire. Click here to download the registration form.
EVENTS: Fischer will be exhibiting at Materials Testing 2011,
13-15 September, The International Centre, Telford, UK
