Analysers adapt to WEEE requirements
Spectrum analysers provide a cost effective solution to help companies take control of their environmental responsibilities.
Fischer Instrumentation's spectrum analyser range has found an important niche with the RoHS Directive, and the range continues to prove its flexibility with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) coming into force during July 2007 As specified by the DTI, WEEE aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill

Spectrometer aids RoHS compliance
RS Components is one of the first UK companies to gain the new BSI "RoHS trusted" Kitemark, and its use of Fischer Instrumentation's XAN spectrometer has played a big part.
It seeks to achieve this by making producers responsible for financing the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment, and by obliging distributors to allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
Fischer's spectrum analysers provide a cost effective solution to help companies take control of their environmental responsibilities.
Unique features of the XDAL spectrum analysers are the very small collimators bringing the benefit of coatings analysis on the very smallest components possible.
A fast, simple screening exercise immediately pinpoints those components clear of harmful substances or those that are borderline.
Not only has this helped component distributors like RS Components and electronics importers like Technetix, it has also found broad ranging applications from component reclamation or stock obsolescence to component counterfeiting; key issues surrounding the military and aerospace industries.
