Por table arc/spark OES metals analyser
SPECTRO Analytical Instruments has
introduced the Spectroport portable arc/
spark optical emission spectrometry
(OES) metals analyser. Spectroport
delivers many of the features of
Spectro’s flagship mobile Spectrotest
OES analyser in a smaller, lighter unit
with point-and-shoot performance for
fast, ready response; flexible portability;
intuitive ease of use; and minimal
standardisation efforts.
Spectroport is as fast as a handheld
XRF, with many analyses taking only
a few seconds, but it also accurately
analyses elements such as carbon,
sulphur, phosphorus, boron, lithium,
beryllium, calcium, silicon, magnesium,
and aluminium at low and critical
levels. Its new optical system covers a
wide range of elemental wavelengths,
displaying precision, stability and
robustness without additional heating.
The analyser’s flexible options
maximise mobility, including large/
small transport trolleys and portable
batteries. For testing in difficult-to-reach
places, such as analysis of installed
or small parts, thin wires, curved
surfaces or concealed welding seams,
or for infrastructure control tasks,
Spectroport can be used cordlessly with
a rechargeable battery pack.
Data management with Spectroport is
flexible and comprehensive. Advanced
tools accurately and definitively verify,
record and document complete testing
results. Data can be delivered to a wide
variety of devices via WebApp and PC
connections from WLAN/LAN to USB.
Spectro’s Spark Analyzer Pro
software enables Spectroport users to
quickly and easily define different testing
modes and sample identification fields.
New preset applets perform much of
the work, and eliminate most errors.
Simplified, predefined operator views
eliminate unnecessary selections, and
users are presented with clear choices
for tasks such as pass/fail sorting
and grade identification via dedicated
toolbar buttons.
There is no need for repeated calibra-
tion, thanks to predefined calibration
packages and the new Spectro-
exclusive iCAL 2.0 calibration logic
system, which also helps maintain the
same standardisation regardless of most
temperature shifts.
Amecare services, available to
Spectroport users, help ensure
uninterrupted performance; and optional
machine-to-machine support allows
proactive alerts, backed up by client
connection with a remote Spectro
service expert’s PC.
