WeldSpot, when combined with CamShot, is ideal for positioning, analysing and recording the analytical results of small weld areas and components something previously only achievable with benchtop XRF analyzers. The XL3t displays a picture of the tested area on the instrument screen and stores the image along with the analysis data for easy reference, data management and data integrity. 'Today, with the economic losses and potentially catastrophic consequences of mixed or incorrect materials, the reasons are more compelling than ever for testing every alloy material and weld both before use and during routine inspection of installed systems,' said Jon Shein, global marketing director for Thermo Fisher Scientific's NITON Analyzers business unit.
