Benchtop spectrometer provides versatility to meet tight specifications. (New Product).


Tightening alloy specifications by customers are placing heavy demands on many small and medium-sized foundries. As a result, foundries that still rely on outside sources to perform their metals analysis or plants with antiquated analysis technology that isn't as accurate as necessary are looking at the option of purchasing new spectrometer spectrometer

Device for detecting and analyzing wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, commonly used for molecular spectroscopy; more broadly, any of various instruments in which an emission (as of electromagnetic radiation or particles) is spread out according to some
 technology to upgrade and ensure versatility in this certification process. One option is the Spectromax benchtop metals analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer)

, which is designed to handle diverse foundry applications such as charge furnace furnace, enclosed space for the burning of fuel. There are many kinds of furnaces, the type depending upon the fuel and the use to which the heat produced within it is put. Most familiar are the furnaces used in the heating of buildings.  control, element analysis and production quality control.

 for fast sample throughput. Upon set-up, the analysis modules for the system are customized to a foundry's requirements. In addition, new elements (even entire calibrations) can be added should testing requirements change.

With the technology, an external PC interface allows users access to the manufacturer's SparkAnalyzer software to carry out single key stroke analyses as well as print out optional certificates, statistical process control reports and charge correction functions. This software also performs automatic alloy/grade verification and identification.
