Uncompromising performance. Unprecedented ease of use.
Simply Easy

Foundry floor analysis
that’s generations ahead
Spectromaxx
Foundries demand fast, accurate elemental analysis of metals at numerous points in their
workflow, from incoming materials to in-process testing to final quality inspection.
profitability is a major concern. Without sufficiently accurate analysis, planners end up
overbuying: purchasing source materials that are more expensive than necessary from
a primary producer. By contrast, with the right analytical solution, a foundry can reach
its outgoing quality targets precisely - at minimum upstream cost.
Traceability is another critical consideration. At every step, managers must be able
to identify elements in every product, from primary producer to final form. And time
always counts. rapid analysis is vital on today’s
fast-moving foundry floor.
For over a decade, one instrument has delivered in
every analytical area for foundries worldwide.
THE STANDARD FOR EASE OF USE
even for less experienced personnel,
specTro’s brand-new spArk
AnAlyzer pro MAXx software takes
effortless operation to a new level.
Instead of multiple dialog boxes, a
simplified operator view presents
clear choices via dedicated toolbar
buttons. And instead of complicated
method development, new application
profiles are tailored to predetermined
user requirements.
SPECTROMAXx ARC/SPARK OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMETRY (OES) ANALYZER
The new specTroMAXx represents the sixth generation of the popular and
successful metal analyzer. redesigned for even greater ease of use and more
optimized analytical performance, this benchmark spectrometer provides better
productivity, traceability, and time savings than ever before. It’s the clear choice
for analytical excellence in every foundry application.
THE BENCHMARK OF PERFORMANCE
Accurate results rely on precise calibration.
Applying more than 30 years’ experience,
specTro has finely tuned accuracy over the
successive specTroMAXx models. We’ve
improved analytical performance again in
this sixth generation, documented via new
application reports. specTro also continues
its investment in certified calibration reference
materials. result: no analytical surprises.
LEADINg IN COST OF OWNERSHIP
reduced measurement times and a proven
argon saver “sleep” mode both reduce gas
consumption. so this new specTroMAXx
can deliver top of class consumables cost
savings. Additionally, advanced diagnostics
with critical status indicators make maintenance
easier and prevent expensive unplanned
downtime.

Spectromaxx
stability for foundry applications
specTro took every opportunity to improve already excellent analytical stability
in this new specTroMAXx. standard samples were selected and tested. source
parameters were studied and optimized. Both element selection and calibration
ranges were reviewed and updated. result: analytical performance that’s
precisely tuned for the foundry world and future demands.
A CHOICE OF CONFIgURATIONS
specTroMAXx comes in several
wavelength ranges for different
analytical preferences. Additionally,
floor-mounted versions provide
ideal operator positioning (with
optional matching stand for the
instrument’s computer). Benchtop
models combine easy operation
with minimum footprint.
SUPERIOR SERVICE AND SUPPORT
SPEEDY, SIMPLE CALIBRATION
Foundries depend on the availability of ensured analysis to maintain the highest
possible pace of productivity. so that every specTroMAXx analyzer is ready when
needed, specTro offers the AMecAre performance services program.
With conventional analyzers, standardization demands multiple samples per matrix
and 50+ minutes of measurement time for a three-base instrument, plus excessive
downtimes and costs. Instead, specTroMAXx’s proprietary icAl calibration logic
requires just one sample, and takes only 5 minutes for total measurement. Thus icAl
greatly increases instrument availability — and cuts total cost of ownership.
The program fields more than 100 service engineers in 20 countries. The high-value,
customized services they deliver help ensure optimum performance and the longest
possible equipment life. Available AMecAre support includes protective maintenance
programs, applications solutions, expert consultation, and targeted training.
