AZoM recently spoke with Ted Shields from Olympus about the new Vanta™ iX in-line XRF analyzer a versatile system that automates material and alloy identification on the manufacturing line. Ted highlights the system benefits and explains the importance of in-line, automated XRF testing in metal fabrication and geo processing.
Why should someone consider the Vanta iX in-line XRF analyzer?
The Vanta iX analyzer can add value and reduce reworks in the inspection process since it verifies that a test material is what it is supposed to be. Nothing beats the confidence derived from 100% automated inspection. In-line, automated XRF eliminates the mistakes made by inspector fatigue or human error. In fact, one of our customers did a study and found that 100% manual inspection only caught 66% of the errors.
