XRF ANALYSER FOR RoHS COMPLIANCE SCREENING - THE X-MET

Following RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is a must for all manufacturers of electrical and electronic goods and their supply chains - component producers, assembly houses and PCB manufacturers.

Portable XRF screening technique delivers fast and reliable verification of
supplier Certificates of Conformity. With the X-MET you can minimize the need for expensive and time consuming laboratory analysis. The X-MET analysers have a variety of analysis methods to suit your specific application and materials requirements. It provides the highest level of confidence in the results of which your business depends.
Verification of material is done in seconds!

The handheld X-MET analyser provides fast, reliable and totally non-destructive analysis of all the RoHS components. It is an optimized methods for screening hazardous elements Cr, Pb, Hg, Br, Cd and more from plastics and metals. The X-MET provides rapid, non-destructive, point and shoot X-ray fluorescence (XRF) screening of

solder material (incoming bar stock as well as ladle dips and solder balls for Sn, Pb, Cu, Ag, Bi, Cd etc.)
plastic / ceramic components (Cd, Pb, Br, Hg and Cr)
PWBs (Cd, Pb, Br, Hg, Cr and other elements)
cables (Cd, Pb, Br, Hg, Cr and other elements)
plastic housings (Cd, Pb, Br, Hg and Cr)
other electronic components

The X-MET conforms to IEC Method 62321 and effectively tests for regulated substances at the compliance levels for all restricted elements

Tests lead and other heavy metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury in consumer products
Test High-Reliability Systems for the presence of adequate Pb level in solder joints and finishes (especially aerospace, medical and military systems)
ppm level analysis of Cr, Pb, Hg, Br and Cd
Detects the sample type automatically and selects appropriate analysis method for plastics and metals
Identifies PVC plastic (based on Cl)
Verify lead in paint
Identify restricted elements in plastic raw materials
Check packaging material for Cd, Pb and Hg

Choose from a variety of analysis methods

Auto detect mode will identify material type automatically and chooses the correct analysis method

Plastics:
Fundamental Parameter (FP) method for all common heavy elements in plastics including all RoHS elements
(Cd, Pb, Hg, Br, Cr), as well as Cl, Ca, Sr, Ni, Sb, As, Se, Ba etc.

Metals:
Fundamental Parameter (FP) method for all common heavy elements in metal alloys, all RoHS elements, as
well as Fe, Cu, Bi, Zn, Au, Ag, etc.

Solder analysis:
Empirical calibration optimized for Pb-free solder analysis

Designed for testing:

Toys and other plastic samples
Small metal parts
Electronic components
Prepared solid, powder and liquid samples
Bagged soil and mining samples

Improved measurement precision

The benchtop stand allows users to target small samples, which can be difficult to position in handheld operation, such as specific components on an electronic
assembly, jewellery, toys etc.

Simplified operation

Hands-free use of the instrument allows for multi-tasking without loss of confidence in the measurement results. The instrument can be quickly swapped between handheld and benchtop operating modes.

Advantages:

Improved measurement precision
Detection limits are optimised with benchtop stand due to simpler use of longer measurement times
Easier and more flexible sample analysis
Ergonomically designed for prolonged use

Uncompromised safety features

Dual ‘fail to safe’ warning lights
‘X-RAY ON’ warning light visible to all directions
Customisable for local safety regulations
Lead enforced measurement
chamber for maximum safety
