How to use an XRF gun
Incoming inspection shows due diligence

 
UPDATE:  They are doing the classes again in 2007.  We will be at the Denver class on November 2.  The link below shows the 2007 - 2008 class schedule. 

Thermo Electron Corporation, the manufacturer of NITON Analyzers (XRF guns) is sponsoring a free webinar about the technology and proper use of an XRF gun.
 
Date and Time:

April 13, 2006: 10:00 am EST or 4:00 pm EST
        or
April 27, 2006: 10:00 am EST or 4:00 pm EST
 
Because of anticipated supply chain problems, vendor compliance issues and counterfeit part probabilities, Lead Free Design highly recommends that you have an incoming inspection plan in place for the next 12 months.
 
We also highly recommend the Niton XRF gun - we use one ourselves.  About $40k to buy, but you can lease one for about $1800 a month.  Considering the costs of getting caught with non-compliant parts, it is cheap insurance.
