Welcome to Fischer Instrumentation (GB) Ltd - 

a website dedicated to X-ray analysis of materials and coating thickness measurement

The Helmut Fischer Group brings a unique approach to X-ray analysis, after a long history of coating thickness measurement and material analysis.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE material analysis has always been paramount to our customers, so our material analysis instruments have:

• Large chambers to accommodate complete assemblies, from populated PCBs to gold plated trophys.
• Selectable X-ray beam sizes, from 50 micro metres for material analysis of small components or PCB tracks, up to milli metres for rapid bulk material analysis to include bulk metal analysis, bulk solutions analysis and bulk powder analysis.
• Focussing mechanisms to allow investigation into bores or recesses.
• Programmable XY stages provide array measurements over an entire assembly or automatic measurements on multiple samples.
• The ability to measure and analyse not just coatings but also underlayers.

Fischer Instrumentation GB Ltd have an extensive range of coating thickness measurement hand-helds from budget to the hi-tech graphical interface variety...read more

Fischer's seminars prove popular way to keep a dialogue with customers

The April 2012 seminar at the Corus Hotel, Solihull, West Midlands was fully booked.  Three of Fischer's Senior Application Managers imparted technical and practical know how on measurement methods for handheld coating thickness gauges and the X-ray fluorescent measurement method, with the afternoon providing a forum to discuss measurement issues using the customers' own samples.  There is a definate need to for long established, well respected multinationals like Fischer to share the vast wealth of technical and practical materials know how on a local basis.  A delegate from Rolls Royce commented how little he'd appreciated the extent of Fischer's product range, applications and breadth of measurement knowledge.  The next Fischer Seminar will be published online or register your interest on the contact us form .
