EDAX Launches SMX-ILH Process Metrology Platform

MAHWAH, NJ – EDAX Inc., a leader in X-ray elemental analysis and electron diffraction instrumentation, has launched the XLNCE SMX-ILH, the latest in a series of new XRF analyzers for rapid, non-destructive coating thickness and composition analysis.The SMX-ILH process metrology system is an in-line process metrology tool, capable of integration into a production conveyor system or manual loading. Like the SMX-BEN benchtop analyzer, it is able to quickly and easily measure the thickness and composition of simple to complex multi-layer coatings and metal treatments as well as the composition of bulk materials.

“The SMX-ILH system ensures flexibility for integration into production environments. Its mechanical design allows for manual loading, the streaming of flexible substrates or integration into a production conveyor system. It offers rapid, non-destructive composition and thickness measurement analysis on virtually any material,” says Dr. Bruce Scruggs, XRF Product Manager at EDAX.

The SMX-ILH platform is flexible and can be adapted to accept rigid panels and flexible substrates according to production requirements. It is an excellent choice for in-line process control, yield management, process development, and detailed individual product sampling. Typical applications include analysis of single or multi-layered metal surface treatments, such as corrosion, wear and thermal barrier coatings; aluminum surface treatments; photovoltaic layer formulations; and electrical and related buffer layers.

The SMX-ILH measuring head is identical to the one used on the SMX-BEN benchtop analyzer, which provides uniformity and ease of transition between laboratory development stages and process control in manufacturing.

“With the addition of the SMX-ILH, we now offer our customers yet another exciting option from the EDAX portfolio of analysis tools. The ILH expands EDAX’s offering of material characterization instrumentation onto the production floor, where these optimized, flexible tools provide coating thickness measurement and composition under process metrology conditions,” concludes Dr. Scruggs.

Delta Fosters a Sustainable Lifestyle with its Energy-efficient PV Inverters, Energy Storage Systems and EV Charging Solutions Featured at Intersolar Europe 2016

Delta will present, at Intersolar 2016, a broad portfolio of energy-efficient solutions to optimize the harvesting of renewable energy and to support the growing sustainable lifestyle megatrend. Delta’s brand new M80H PV inverter offers maximum 88kVA output power and industry-leading efficiency of up to 98.8%. Also, Delta’s Hybrid E5 energy storage system features a 95% high charging efficiency of DC electricity from the PV system directly to its own 6kWh Li-ion battery. Two newly-launched electric vehicle (EV) chargers, an ultra-fast 150kW DC capable of charging 4 EVs simultaneously, and a quick 25kW DC wallbox, are the ideal infrastructure for the growing network of EVs around the world.
The full showcase of these innovative and eco-friendly solutions by Delta at Intersolar 2016 Europe shall include:
l Solar PV Inverters for Commercial Applications:
High-power and high-efficiency string inverters are ideal for large commercial and ground-mounted PV plants with megawatt-sized solar arrays where optimum yield is important to ensure a high return from the system. Thus, Delta’s new flagship inverter model, the 3-phase transformerless M80H series, offers maximum 88kVA output power and industry-leading peak efficiency of up to 98.8%. Other value-added features are:
– 2 MPP trackers and a high maximum input voltage up to 1100V allow for extra flexibility in system design and better performance in challenging conditions.
– Rugged die-cast aluminium chassis and wiring box feature IP65 enclosure rating designed for outdoor installation even in harsh environments.
– All-in-one design which greatly reduces the need for costly external devices. In fact, it includes built-in DC switches and AC and DC surge protection devices (SPDs). Multiple communication interfaces are available such as RS-485 and optional Ethernet.
The M30A series transformerless 3-phase inverter is also suitable for commercial applications given its added-value characteristics, such as maximum power output of 33kVA, excellent power density and high peak efficiency of 98.5%. It also offers:
– Wide input voltage range of 200 – 1100V and 2 MPP trackers. Asymmetrical loading (33/67%) is also possible, ensuring maximum yield in large commercial rooftop installations with multiple roof orientations.
– The M30A is approximately 30% lighter than its predecessor model (Solivia 30TL) and improvements in size are also evident.
– It also features built-in Type II AC / DC SPDs and string fuses.
– Excellent resistance to harsh outdoor conditions with IP65 enclosure rating for the electronics compartment and the AC plug.
l Battery Energy Storage System:
The Hybrid E5 energy storage system is composed of the E5 hybrid inverter as well as an external cabinet equipped with a 6kWh Li-ion battery, a Power Meter and a Smart Monitor. The Hybrid E5 storage system is designed for new PV systems and boasts a high charging efficiency up to 95% of DC electricity from the PV array to the battery without additional equipment needed. The system also includes:
– Greater flexibility and simplified installation as inverter and cabinet are separate.
– The Smart Monitor not only controls the E5 inverter and battery functionality in an optimized way but it also serves as a gateway for visualization via mobile devices.
– High peak efficiency (PV to Grid) of 97.2% and nominal continuous power output of 5.0kW for E5 hybrid inverter.
– Built-in customized energy management modes for various customer needs.
l EV Charging Solutions:
Delta is exhibiting two new EV chargers at Intersolar 2016. The innovative 150kW DC Ultra-fast EV Charger is capable of charging up to 4 EVs simultaneously as it supports CCS-200A, CHAdeMO-125A, Type2-63A as well as Type2-32A standards, meaning it covers practically all EVs. With output power of up to 150kW DC and up to 65kW AC users will experience a remarkable improvement in charging times especially when, in coming years, new-generation EVs with larger battery capacity and longer driving ranges enter the market. Operators taking this EV trend into consideration for their investment in charging infrastructure will be able to provide more attractive charging services to their clients in coming years, a key success factor in their EV charging business.
In addition, the newly-launched 25kW Wallbox DC Quick EV Charger, is capable of enhancing convenience to system integrators as it boasts dual output as well as pluggable modular power system architecture for a significant reduction in installation and maintenance costs. Its quick-charging nature (the 24kWh battery of a Nissan Leaf can be recharged from 0% to 80% in approx. 40 minutes, under certain conditions), RFID and mobile app user access, offer greater convenience to EV users in several commercial applications such as auto parking, EV fleet charging and even residential.
Welcome to Delta’s showcase at Hall B3, Stand 140 at Intersolar Europe 2016 in Munich from 22–24 June.
