UPA Technology’s XRF2020 systems measure plating thickness and offer materials analysis while only energizing the X-ray tube during measurements. According to the company, this greatly reduces tube use and increases tube life. The XRF2020 X-ray series has four chamber models for plating thickness measurement on a wide variety of part sizes or shapes. SDD and pin diode detectors are available on every model as well as dual and vacuum systems. The XRF2020N model features a large chamber with a 9” height capacity for measuring large or odd-shaped parts. ISO-17025 calibration services and system diagnostics can be provided either on site or remotely via internet connection for convenience and cost savings.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #121: Development of a Sustainability Metrics System and a Technical Solution Method for Sustainable Metal Finishing: 5th Quarterly Report
The NASF Research Board has funded a research grant at Wayne State University on sustainability in the surface finishing industry, under the direction of Professor Yinlun Huang. The objective of the work is to create a surface-finishing-specific sustainability metrics system to measure economic, environmental and social sustainability. In this report, he describes how such a tool can work to benefit our industry. The reader is invited to contact Dr. Huang in identifying plating shops willing to participate in this program; it is not too late.
