WOBURN, MA – To help manufacturers meet the RoHS Directive, Innov-X Systems has launched a rental program for its line portable XRF analyzers.
The program permits companies to rent at reduced rates over a short period of time and apply 100% of rental fees toward purchase for up to the first month.
XRF testing supports due diligence standards defined by several EU enforcement agencies.
“We see countless examples of suppliers who believe their materials are complaint based on the material test reports yet testing shows excessive levels of Pb, Cd or other regulated substances,” said president Don Sackett.
“This ‘test the waters’ rental program is our way to help the component suppliers, OEMs and contract manufacturers understand how XRF testing helps with compliance.”

SAN JOSE -- SEMI, the trade group for semiconductor materials and equipment suppliers, is lobbying for a extension of the R&D tax credit through 2007.
The previous tax credit expired Dec. 31, 2005. The current proposal would extend it through 2007 and apply it retroactively.
Prior to its summer recess, House leaders attached the credit to the so-called “trifecta” legislative package. While the House approved this package, which includes an estate tax reduction and a minimum wage increase, the Senate did not move to a vote and it is unclear how the body will move during the fall session.
SEMI calls the tax credit "an important component of American competitiveness," and encourages its members to push Congress to enact the credit.
