This legislation restricts the use of Pb, Hg, Cd and other organic substances used in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
The detection limit of the XGT-1000WR is enhanced for the five main elements involved in this testing (Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, Br) by the use of a unique primary filter.
The XGT Series introduces many exclusive innovations with six patents and represents a completely new generation of instrument which will lead the way to a new era of science.
The XGT-1000WR is designed for simple and fast quality control of samples as big as 460 x 360 x 150mm without cutting or disassembly.
Two high-intensity narrow X-ray beams can be selected: 1.2 or 0.1mm in diameter in order to make fast and accurate measurements even on small portions of large samples.
A real-time image of the sample is displayed to ensure proper placement in the sample compartment using a CCD camera.
