Spectrolab metal analyser
At the GIFA foundry trade show, Spectro Analytical Instruments unveiled an updated version of its Spectrolab metal analyser, which is able to analyse aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys with a single hardware configuration.
According to Spectro, the latest version of the metal analyser incorporates a number of improvements, and, in several instances, achieves better detection limits than its predecessor version.
Optimised excitation parameters and a new readout system enable permanent enhancements for lead analysis with a focus on battery technology, the company claims.
Also enabling automotive and aerospace materials testing, the Spectrolab analyser makes the entire 120–780nm spectrum available to users.
Key specifications
- Photomultiplier detectors relative to single-spark evaluation and time-resolved spectroscopy
- Flexible line selection
- Ability to combine analytical and reference lines from charge-coupled device detectors
- Provides new options for incoming and outgoing controls or the analysis of unknown metallic materials
- Optimised optical resolution
- Focal width of 750nm in both optical segments
- Performs trace analysis of pure metals and all conceivable material combinations and alloys
- Extended diagnosis and log-file system assist users in monitoring the instrument’s status and performing accurate troubleshooting
- Aimed at addressing the needs of metal producers and processing companies, as well as those of the automotive and aviation industries
- Suitable for businesses that work with many different metals
- Configured to analyse all 10 common base materials
- According to Spectro, covers all daily instrument requirements, making a second instrument superfluous
