Overview of contents
Standard industrial X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) instruments for material analysis and coating thickness measurement will now not only detect very low levels of contaminants and banned substances demanded by RoHS, WEEE and ELV regulations, but they also have vastly improved and novel thickness measuring capabilities.

Rapid Plating Solution Analysis using XRF
The XRF method is so versatile, that in addition to measuring coating thickness, it offers fast, simple analysis of not just solids, powders and pastes but also liquids, as this research on the analysis of plating solutions by Dr Simone Dill demonstrates. Read more
The Fischer XAN Spectrometer has been successfully used by companies such as RS Components and Technetix for ROHS compliance screening, due to the spectrometer's versatility and range of small collimators, which go down to 0.2mm; essential for screening electronic components. For useful insights into the varied solutions Fischer have been able to offer, please refer to the Case Studies within the Archive section .
Military and Aerospace Applications, Counterfeit Component Identification and Osolete Component Replacement
Military and aerospace 'High Reliability' applications require a minimum proportion of lead due to the property of pure tin to grow fine whiskers out from solder joints. click here for more
The fire assay method, although accurate and reliable, is time consuming and expensive in materials and energy and is also destructive.
Many Assay offices around the world, and all UK Assay Offices now use X-Ray Fluorescence systems provided by Fischer to substantially replace the fire assay method. The result is far greater throughput, analysis of metals other than gold and considerable reduction of energy use...read more
X-ray technology has extended capabilities to multi layer systems and composition analysis. Now even underlayers can be analysed for both composition and coating thickness.
These techniques are essential in obtaining accurate analysis of, for example, plated samples for RoHS measurements and in analysis of Solar Panels. Read more
Ask about the Fischer Planned Maintenance Agreement (PMA)
With an industry reputation of offering the best after sales and support service, customers are beginning to realise the true value of signing up to Fischer's Planned Maintenance Agreement.
If you own or are thinking of purchasing an X-Ray system, the PMA offers a host of benefits that far outweigh the cost. A Fischer X-Ray system can be diagnosed and the problem fixed by remote servicing, saving you time, inconvenience and money.
