Applications for Niton XL5 include: - Verifiation of metal alloys in manufacturing operations - Non-destructive fild inspections for positive material identifiation - Point-and-shoot sorting at scrap yards and recycling operations Metal alloy verification is critical to the success of many industrial businesses. Metal fabricators, manufacturers and recyclers must quickly and accurately verify composition and grade, often in difficult working environments. The Thermo ScientificTM NitonTM XL5 is a modern XRF handheld analyzer designed to respond to industry requirements, maximizing performance and productivity. In the smallest footprint available, and weighing an industry-leading 2.8 pounds (1.3 kg.) including battery, the Niton XL5 analyzer makes light work of heavy industrial tasks, even under the most challenging conditions. This reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity. Niton XL5 generates fast and accurate results. Results are displayed in real time, enabling faster decisions. Compact geometry improves ergonomics and overall handling of the analyzer, enabling the operator to get into tight or awkward testing spots, greatly expanding fild use. Bluetooth and GPS enhance data management. Vivid new icons ease navigation and confiuration. Swipe- and touch-screen functionality even with a gloved hand. Wider alloy coverage and lower limits of detection -- especially for light elements -- allow operators to scan a broader range of incoming or installed materials more quickly
