ACTOR™ Users Meeting

Rigaku Americas Corp. announces the first ACTOR User Meeting, to be held in The Woodlands, TX on September 6-7, 2007. The goal of this meeting is to facilitate free discussion among ACTOR users and with the Rigaku ACTOR team. 

To date, approximately 40 ACTOR systems have been installed worldwide. Though these systems vary in their hardware configurations and software configurations, the goals are similar among all: to collect higher quality data faster. This meeting will include presentations from ACTOR users describing the impact of automation, innovations spawned by automation, and future directions of automation. Please join us on September 6-7. It's a perfect opportunity to drive ACTOR development as well as share knowledge, experience, and solutions for common bottlenecks and problems.

Note: the meeting will end at 3:00 pm on September 7^th.
