Metal Analysis Tasks

Comprehensible but Versatile

Software

The extremely versatile SPECTRO

Spark Analyzer ME (Mobile Edition)

instrument software remains a

simple-to-use interface to the

spectrometer. In addition to the

precise analysis of the chemical

composition, it also offers the ability

to identify the material and to quickly

sort numerous samples for a match

with a reference sample. An extensive

control system, with hardware and

software-based diagnostic functions

ensures that the instrument always

operates faultlessly. Changes or

extensions to the analytical programs

are simple to perform with the

SPECTROTEST – even at a later date

at the customer site.

Fingerprinting and Automatic

Program Selection

A new “fingerprint” method

revolutionizes analysis with arc

excitation. During “Fingerprinting”,

the measured spectrum is compared

to the spectra of reference samples in

multiple bases (option for Fe, Al, Cu,

Ni, Co and Ti bases) at the beginning

of the measurement. The

measurement is then continued with

measuring parameters optimized for

the reference sample method chosen

by the SPECTROTEST. The

concentrations of the unknown

sample are calculated with the stored

calibration data. Errors due to

incorrect evaluation of the material by

the operator are eliminated and the

accuracy of the testing improved.

The Automatic Program Finding (APF

Plus) module for analysis with spark

excitation is similarly efficient, user

friendly and error reducing like

Fingerprinting with arc excitation. The

base material is recognized and then

the required analytical program is

loaded.

SPECTROTEST

The SPECTROTEST is a high

power universal metal

analyzer for use in the metal

producing, metal processing

and metal recycling

industries. This instrument

can be used cordlessly with

the rechargeable battery pack

in difficult to reach places, for

the analysis of small parts,

thin wires, curved surfaces or

concealed welding seams. It

can be found in action at an

arc-furnace platform in a steel

mill, during use for the final

inspection of goods in a

production operation or the

identification and analysis of

a wide range of metal types

and alloys at the scrap yard.

With its innovative technology,

the SPECTROTEST is up to the

challenge of each of these

assignments.

Its heart consists of the

plasma generator, special

optic, new high performance

readout system and ICAL logic

system; all innovative

components that make the

SPECTROTEST more precise,

simpler and more reliable.

Through combination with

other high-quality components,

the SPECTROTEST remains

the most powerful

spectrometer of its class.

SPECTROTEST: Overview



SPECTROTEST: Analysis

Simple Operation

The secure base, as well as easy

movement and steering of the

instrument are important features for

straightforward handling and fatigue-

free operation. The transport trolley

was designed as a single unit with the

instrument. The ergonomic design

permits an ideal working height and

enables operation without fatigue. If

necessary, the trolley can be

disassembled quickly.

The newly developed probe is

especially light and easy to use. With

its much thinner form, compared to

earlier versions, it is easier to reach

samples that are behind other pieces,

like bundled materials or seams, for

example.

Results within Seconds

To perform a measurement, the

sample probe is held to the sample

and the start button is pressed. The

results are available within a few

seconds. The standard probe is used

both for sorting and identification with

an arc source and also for analysis

with a spark source – optionally

including the element carbon. The

change from arc to spark mode and

vice versa can be performed rapidly

and easily without tools.

High-Tech for Precise Analysis

The new SPECTRO Plasma Generator

is the first completely digital

excitation system for spark emission

spectrometers. The energy in the

plasma is defined and held constant,

drastically reducing the negative

effects of conventional excitation

technology and markedly improving

the precision, reproducibility and

measuring speed. The special optic in

the SPECTROTEST maps the entire

relevant wavelength range and

distinguishes itself through

exceptional precision, stability and

robustness.

A complete analysis for all of the elements

required is conducted and displayed within

seconds – with supplemental information

about the tested material if desired.

Equipped with the scrubbing system,

the SPECTROTEST is even able to

measure carbon with arc excitation.

This is achieved with a compact

construction developed especially for

mobile use. The optical components,

such as the holographic grating and

CCD detectors, are completely

integrated, protecting them from dust

and shock. The powerful new readout

system processes the accumulated

data simultaneously and fifty times

faster than previous systems;

decidedly contributing to the

improved analytical performance of

the SPECTROTEST.

The proven ICAL (Intelligent

Calibration Logic) logic system

monitors the proper state of the

measurement system independently

from external influences. This

eliminates the time-consuming

recalibration of the spectrometer.

Instead, a single control sample is

measured.



Standard probe and optional UV

probe (suited to the analysis of

N, C, P, S, Sn, B) can be attached

in a matter of seconds.

The new sample probe is extremely thin,

light and easy to handle. The efficient

cooling enables continuous operation for

high throughput demands.

Additional adapters are available for

the analysis of tubes, wires and small

parts as well as other unusual forms.

These are simply attached to the

probe instead of the standard adapter.

Cordless Operation

An efficient excitation in connection

with other measures leads to low

power consumption. The

SPECTROTEST can be operated

independently from the mains supply

with an optional rechargeable battery

pack. It is sufficient for several

hundred sparks and is simply placed

in the holder provided for it on the

transport trolley. This cordless

operation makes use in almost any

location possible.

SPECTROTEST: Accessories

SPECTROTEST

– Unequaled emission spectrometer-accuracy for

many different metal alloys using unique high-

tech components for excitation and detection

– Shortest analytical times: 3 s in sorting mode

and from 5 s in the analytical mode

– Carbon measurement in low alloy steel

with arc in air

– Determination of nitrogen in duplex steels

– Simple, convenient and safe operation

– High mobility, immediately ready for

measurements – anywhere

– Flexible use through comprehensive elementselection – extendable at any time

Analytical Options

With the scrubbing system, the

SPECTROTEST is, when arc excitation

is being used, able to measure carbon

beginning at 500 ppm. This makes it

possible to rapidly identify materials

in air using the carbon content for

low alloy steel. The special probe

with integrated UV optic is used when

elements such as phosphorous,

sulfur, boron or tin are required for

material identification. Even the

determination of nitrogen for the

identification of duplex steels is no

obstacle for the SPECTROTEST.

Quickly changing from the standard

probe to the UV probe is no problem

with the plug-in connector.
