Epsilon Xline combines our advanced energy dispersive XRF (EDXRF) technology with in-line functionality. This advanced solution enables real-time materials monitoring and process control in roll-to-roll (R2R) coating processes. Direct analysis allows continuous optimization of material composition and loading, helping to minimize off-specification production and maximize cost-efficiency. The adaptable Epsilon Xline can deliver precise and accurate process control across a wide range of surfaces and elements.
Non-destructive in-line process control – no sampling required
Range of scanning modes to accommodate patch continuously, and multi-lane coating processes
Easy to integrate into production processes with standard communication protocols
Able to measure all valuable elements of interest, including platinum and cerium
Capable of measuring thin layers with excellent precision
Accommodates a range of roll widths
Unique patented robotic arm that provides optimal distance control by hovering the measurement head over the production line in all directions
With platinum catalysts accounting for more than 20% of your overall fuel cell costs, optimizing catalyst coating through uniform dispersion and consistent layering is essential. And fast, accurate process monitoring is the ideal solution! The Epsilon Xline makes efficient operational control easy, helping you to:
Minimize your off-specification production
Save valuable platinum from being wasted
Produce cost-competitive end-products
