RoHS Compliance Screening with Handheld XRF
Worldwide
Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) regulations continue to impact the
manufacturers of electrical and electronic goods and their
supply chains. By restricting the use of five commonly
found substances, the burden of compliance, also known as
“due diligence," is placed firmly with the brand owners,
assembly houses, and PCB manufacturers.
Now, both the regulated and the enforcement
agencies can screen goods for conformity, verifying
compliance at all stages of manufacturing: from components
and incoming materials, to subassemblies, to finished
products, to packaging with handheld Thermo Scientific NITON®
700 Series XRF analyzers. With point-an
d-shoot simplicity, they:
- Quantify total lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg),
chromium (Cr) and bromine (Br)
- Provide pass/fail designations for each sample, with
visual identification of the out of spec elements; use
default thresholds or easily customize each element
- Permit users to customize the display, include the
RoHS elements, all measured elements, or only those
selected
- Include a 50 kV (max) miniaturized x-ray tube for
the lowest detection limits of any handheld XRF analyzer
- Easily switch from measuring alloys, to plastics and
polymers, to mixed materials including coated leads, Cr
coatings, and populated PCBs
- Store results in an encrypted format for reporting
purposes with legally defensible data
Several available options further increase the handheld
XRF analyzer’s flexibility:
- Integrated sample imaging system – visually locate,
identify, specify, and store the image of the sample
together with analytical results
- Small-spot capability – touch an icon on the XL3t’s
display to reduce the measured area from 20 mm to 3 mm;
ideal for analyzing component leads or measuring
discrete areas on PCBs
