Los Angeles-based Tribogenics has announced the release of a next-generation Watson XRF metal analyzer following last year’s unveiling of the industry’s first sub-$10,000 hand-held XRF analyzer.
Watson, which is now in volume production worldwide, requires only seconds to complete positive material identification (PMI) of 423 metal alloys, the company says. Tribogenics executives report that the device is already generating substantial demand among manufacturers, metal fabricators, machinists and recyclers throughout the world for performing quality assurance and quality control.
“This next-generation Watson XRF represents an unrivaled combination of power, performance and price that is poised to upend the mobility X-ray market,” says Dale Fox, Tribogenics CEO. “Customers and partners ranging from manufacturers to energy companies are reporting that our new volume production Watson device includes precisely the attributes they have been clamoring for.”
Watson also includes a cloud-based data reporting system, available on Android OS, and requires no operator training, the company says.
“For anyone working with metals in their manufacturing process, particularly those supplying to aerospace, automotive and medical customers where conformance of certification is mission critical, the Watson metal analyzer is an affordable, ‘must have’ verification technology,” says Stewart Chalmers, vice president of marketing. “Our proprietary technology for producing X-rays enables us to deliver customers a breakthrough, highly accurate device with more than 100 percent improvement in cost of ownership and guaranteed uptime, a big win for the customer.”
