RoHS Component Testing
To help ensure RoHS compliance, you should test
electrical components for lead during all stages of the
production process.
- Incoming materials
- Installed components
- Finished products
When it comes to RoHS component screening, one of the
biggest challenges you face is screening small
components after they have been integrated into circuit
boards or other complex heterogeneous materials. It is
increasingly important for you to test these individual
components in finished goods and subassemblies:
- Quickly
- Nondestructively
- With no disassembly
As a longtime leader in x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
analysis, Thermo Scientific has the unique ability to provide you with superior
component screening with handheld XRF for plastics,
metals, and electronics equipment. Test for substances
prohibited under the RoHS directive and similar
legislation or as part of a halogen-free initiative
promoting "green" manufacturing.
Thermo Scientific Niton XRF Analyzers – Leading the Way
By using Thermo Scientific
Niton handheld XRF analyzers – now available with GOLDD™ technology – you can screen more easily for
non-compliant materials, especially when components may
contain materials with exemptions such as lead in
ceramic capacitor casing.
- Eliminate production delays associated with waiting
for lab results
- Screen more material in a shorter period of time,
reducing chances that restricted materials will enter
the manufacturing process
Test components for lead with handheld XRF as part of
your comprehensive screening program:
- Components in bulk to verify compliance before they
enter the manufacturing process
- Components during any part of the manufacturing
process – on the assembly line, on the warehouse floor,
and anywhere in the world
- Individual small components in a finished product
- Components of all shapes, sizes, and matrices
Hitting the Spot
Performing a rapid nondestructive lead test for
electronic components on small heterogeneous samples,
like populated circuit boards, is challenging for any
size of analytical instrument. Individual components are
small and mounted close together, making them difficult
to analyze, and are themselves typically heterogeneous
in composition. Our XRF analyzers meet and even exceed
the challenge, out-performing many benchtop XRF
instruments.
With our optional, revolutionary
small-spot focus feature and
integrated CCD camera,
we continue to provide you with the tools you require
for your RoHS verification and documentation needs.
- Ideal for locating, isolating, and measuring
individual small components, such as leads or
terminations on a populated PCB
- First ever integrated CCD camera and sample area
imaging system
- Image and analysis data stored together for easy
reference, data management, and data integrity
