In uncertain times, it’s reasonable to be hesitant about new investments.

However, there’s also now an increased need to build in assurance, certainty and risk reduction throughout the supply chain to reduce your business exposure. We can help you achieve the level of control you need at each stage of your production without the need to shop around.

Ask yourself: do you need fast, portable metal composition analysis in order to make immediate decisions? Do you also need to measure trace elements down to low detection limits as part of your quality routine? No one instrument does both, so why choose?

We’ve put together our recommended full solution package for foundries and metal producers; our two most frequently bought products. And to support you when you build your quality control toolbox with Hitachi, we’re even offering a special package price too* because we want to help you continue to produce high-quality products for your customers cost-effectively.

Many times, inspection components and technologies are selected based on individual performance levels but not evaluated for their combined, synergistic contributions.

There are many variables involved in managing an Eddy Current Technology (ECT) inspection that can have a direct effect on inspection integrity and consistency, as well

as cost and schedule. An inspection approach that deploys tightly integrated technologies and components can lead to improvements in efficiency and integrity. This can

deliver more predictable results with less manpower and higher consistency. This webinar will present a combined system approach that can significantly enhance your

inspections. It will demonstrate how a tightly integrated system (including ECT instrumentation, probes, and software) can improve acquisition, analysis and the overall

management of an inspection. Join us for a one hour webinar session presented by Tom O’Dell, General Manager of the RevospECT business for Zetec.

 

The webinar will include a question and answer session as well as provide:

• An overview of the integrated system

• Demonstration of the ease of operation from acquisition to analysis to final reporting

• Detailed discussion on the interaction of the components in a combined, synergistic system

• Explanation of the RevospECT auto analysis system including system architecture and core principals

• Demonstration of how Historical Data Compare (HDC), as a valued added option, can improve the operational assessment of your critical inspection components

 

This webinar can help deliver a competitive advantage for you. You’ll gain an understanding of new ways to improve your non-ferrous ECT tubing inspection performance,

while lowering total cost of ownership.

XMET8000 Software Updates:

 

See clearly what's important to you!

 

Start and Stop analysis by pressing the SPACE button on your computer keyboard

 

Oxford Instruments has launched a new app, OiConnect, for fast data sharing on-site for use with their range of X-MET8000 handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) analysers. The OiConnect app allows X-MET users to share their test results as soon as they are acquired, without having to go back to the office and/or connect to a computer.

  Complete transactions and share test results faster

Once downloaded on the user’s iOS mobile device (phone, tablet), the OiConnect app grabs the X-MET8000’s test data in real-time, so that it can be shared on-the-spot via e-mail, instant message, etc. with colleagues, suppliers and customers alike. Photos and other useful information (e.g. weight, price, batch number, and order details) can be added before the data is sent so that transactions can be completed quickly. Unlike other solutions available, there is no need to connect to a computer to generate a report and/or forward the data. All that is required is a WiFi or mobile data connection.

Christelle Petiot, Product Manager, Oxford Instruments, said “OiConnect is a simple way to share test results fast. Whether you’ve received incorrect materials, or you have a load of scrap metal available for sale, the OiConnect app enables you to send the relevant information to other people, wherever you are.”
