Anritsu Ltd, global manufacturer of inline product detection and inspection equipment, is celebrating its latest certification – the highly coveted PTB accreditation from the National Metrology Institute of Germany. This is the first time that any X-ray systems have met the extremely stringent standards demanded by PTB. Anritsu believes this indicates that they are the safest X-ray machines in the world. The certification, which is valued throughout Europe and beyond, applies to Anritsu’s most popular KXS7522 and KXS7534 models. It means that visits by a radiation expert to test a new machine before it is put to use are no longer necessary: customers can install the Anritsu machine into a line and run it straight away, saving both commissioning time and test fees. Anritsu’s distribution partner HHL Service, based near Frankfurt, was instrumental in the application. As long-standing experts in radiation technology the HHL team, led by Karina Mueller, submitted all the relevant application paperwork and oversaw the testing procedures on Anritsu’s behalf.
