April 5, 2013 - SPECTRO Analytical Instruments introduced optical emission spectrometry (OES) technology that offers greater carbon measurement accuracy and speed in cast iron production applications. OES analysis technology excels across the key requirements for superior carbon measurement performance.
- Digitally controlled plasma generator: SPECTROMAXx and SPECTROLAB plasma generators are fully digitally controlled for more accurate and reproducible spark definition.
- Greater UV performance: SPECTROLAB’s UV-PLUS system contains a hermetically sealed opti¬cal chamber that is filled just once with argon.
- Higher optical resolution: The SPECTROMAXx is equipped exclusively with CCD technology for users who don’t need the higher sensitivity and shorter reaction time of photomultiplier detection (PMT).
- Sophisticated data processing: The SPECTROLAB and SPECTROMAXx systems enable complete coverage of the entire spectrum relevant for cast iron analysis.
This allows the instrument to deliver greater precision, better repeatability, faster measurement with less impact from external interference.
Impurities are removed through a built-in filter cartridge, reducing operating costs and extending maintenance intervals.
For those requiring ultra trace analysis and time-dependent spark examination, the SPECTROLAB combines both CCD and PMT technologies in a single, powerful instrument.
In addition to outputting results for individual elements, the data can be sorted according to measurement or configuration, or read out as a complete wavelength scan.
SPECTROLAB’s PMT signal can be outputted with microsecond resolution, allowing individual sparks to be broken into a hundred or more steps.
