Material Testing Lab

AMETEK is one of the world leading suppliers of analytical instruments, employing optical emission and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry technology, used for the elemental analysis of materials in industry, research and academia.

The SPECTROMAXx stationary metal analyzer is used mainly for material testing in foundries and for incoming and outgoing inspections in the metal industry around the world. It determines all of the elements used in the metal industry, including trace analysis of carbon, phosphorous, sulfur and nitrogen.

The third generation of the SPECTROMAXx features improved operation with the use of toolbar buttons, a user management system, and a separation of operation from programming of the instrument. The measurement is no longer controlled through the menu, but with symbols and toolbar buttons. Once a procedure has been started, only the functions that are logical at that point in time are active in the control software – all other commands are hidden. With the new
application profiles, customer specific information can be set before beginning operation, relieving laboratory technicians of administrative activities.

The SPECTROMAXx independently monitors all operating parameters. It dynamically determines the measurement time required based on the given sample properties and even shows when the spark stand needs to be cleaned depending on the type of samples being examined.

The SPECTRO xSORT XRF handheld analyzer is designed for high-throughput elemental testing and spectrochemical analysis of a wide range of metals and other materials in the field. Its speed, accuracy and ease of use set new benchmarks for handheld spectrometric performance. The SPECTRO xSORT handheld analyzer is ideal for applications, including positive material identification (PMI) and environmental screening, recycling of alloys, precious metals, and aluminum, plus mining and compliance screening.
