XRF

Praise that makes us shine

Fischer's FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDL® has been with Techplasma Technology for 20 years. During this period, the chamber has only been replaced once. Fischer's XDL® instrument is a stable and very trustworthy testing instrument.

Yang Jin-Chang // Employee at Techplasma Technology Co., Ltd., TWN

We use the FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XAN® models 250 and 252. The main advantage of these two models, and of Fischer XRF devices in general, is their speed! If you want an answer to the simple question ‘is it gold?’, you can have your answer in a few seconds, if you want a really accurate reading of the whole alloy, you can get this in less than twenty seconds, which is amazing! We handle really high value precious metals and highly finished jewellery, and therefore we can’t afford to have any damage to the pieces, so the non-destructive testing via Fischer XRF is one of the biggest advantages, and that’s why we use it.

Wanda Tatka // Sampling Supervisor at The Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office, UK

We decided on the FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDV®-µ PCB with 10 µm halo-free polycapillary optics in order to be equipped for the future in terms of measurement technology. We particularly appreciate the outstanding quality and durability of the device as well as the comprehensive after-sales support provided by Helmut Fischer AG.

Andy Stütz // CEO at Hofstetter PCB AG, CH

Great products, accurate and precise results, the FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XDL® offers everything our industry and production is looking for.

Dr. Bashar Al-Gailani // Laboratory Manager at Nu-Pro Ltd., UK

We use Fischer at Safran knowing that they have done extensive technical work for the XRF which has enabled us to optimize our processes and given us confidence in our testing.

Since purchasing our new equipment the support has been excellent. Alex is always available to help us develop our new process and assist us with any difficulties we encounter.

Adam Hampson // Project Manager at SAFRAN, UK

Our Fischer XRF measuring instrument XAN® is an integral part of our laboratory. We use the device for material analysis and for measuring the thickness and type of various electroplating coatings. When we need support with new applications, the Fischer team is always very helpful. The XAN® has excellent reliability, a high degree of accuracy and is relatively easy to use. I will definitely buy a device from Fischer again.

Steve Green // Head of Metallurgy at CATRA, UK

The XAN 500 portable Fischer unit has opened up a whole new world for us and uses the same software, so it was easy to pick up, literally, to do the measurements with!

Ant Scarratt // Metallurgist and Laboratory Manager at Hardide Coatings Ltd., UK

Analytical Services offer a large range of elemental compositions and to do this we use a wide selection of analytical techniques including Fischer XRF, especially for identifying any cross-contamination and quantifying precious metals.

Dr. Belen Morales // Head of Analytical Services at Sheffield Assay Office, UK

The first counterfeit control plans relied heavily on external visual inspection, but the threat has changed, and we are seeing an increase in very sophisticated clone devices visually indistinguishable from genuine parts. I have no doubt that these parts would pass through many labs without detection, the parts would pass a RoHS test, it was the layer-analysing capability of our FISCHERSCOPE that saved the day here.

Ian Walker // Operations Director at Princeps, UK

The Fischer SDD’s are brilliant for measuring nano thickness

Dean Smith // Quality Manager at Auric Metal Finishers, UK

Tactile

Borough has recently switched to the Fischer COULOSCOPE® which is an excellent instrument for coulometric coating thickness measurement.

Borough also invested in the Fischer XRF handheld XAN® 500, which is ideal for quick and easy elemental analysis without destroying the actual components.

Aamir Chaudhry // Director of Operations and Lead Auditor at Borough Chrome, UK

Allied UV personnel spend most of their time working with our customers recommending, training and implementing industry-best technologies. Fischer has a great range of coating measurement devices available, and after testing many of these products against competitive offerings, we at Allied UV determined that the compact PERMASCOPE® MP0®R was the best solution for all of our coating measurement needs. The PERMASCOPE® MP0®R offers ease of usability, very accurate measurements, and excellent visual representation during use. In addition, the durability and compact size of the PERMASCOPE® MP0®R make it ideal for use on the plant floor. Thank you, Fischer.
