Innov-X Systems will take part in the "XRF Short Course - RoHS Workshop" held at the University of Western Ontario on Friday, June 13, 2008. XRF has been identified as a fast and cost effective RoHS screening technique, however analysts still face certain challenges, such as the heterogeneity of many samples, irregular sample size, calibrations and verifications methods. Innov-X Systems will be working with industry experts to address these challenges.

Olympus NDT has introduced the OmniScan iX, an ultrasonic flaw detector system designed for the high-speed testing of critical industrial components. This powerful and flexible industrial flaw detector can be configured for 2, 4, or 8 conventional ultrasound channels.
