Introducing SPECTROMAXx LMX08 with iCAL 2.0 ARC/SPARK OES ANALYZER Even faster speed. Even better performance. Even greater intelligence. More intelligent analysis for material control SPECTROMAXx with iCAL 2.0 Manufacturing plants demand advanced elemental analysis of metals, from incoming materials to in-process testing to final inspection for outgoing quality. Speed is a vital concern. Most analyzers still require multiple standardization samples for each metal matrix. To match today’s higher line speeds, processors must seek out new analyzers that greatly reduce required samples and total measurement times. Results reliability is also critical for your success. Inconsistent analysis leads to off-spec batches and expensive rework. Costs — particularly consumables costs — are important as well. An ideal analyzer minimizes gas consumption without sacrificing analytical performance. For over a decade, one instrument has delivered in every analytical area for metal manufacturing worldwide. SPECTROMAXx ARC/SPARK OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMETRY ANALYZER SPECTROMAXx is likely the world’s best-selling arc/spark OES instrument — with more than 13,000 installed! The new SPECTROMAXx represents the eighth generation of this industry-leading metal analyzer. With technologies adapted from SPECTRO’s top-of-the-line SPECTROLAB, SPECTROMAXx delivers even faster measurement times and significant consumables savings. So it provides greater productivity, analytical performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness than ever before.

FAST, SIMPLE STANDARDIZATION WITH iCAL 2.0 With conventional analyzers, standardization can take 30+ minutes, demand multiple samples, and require reruns whenever site conditions change. By contrast, in most cases SPECTRO’s proprietary iCAL 2.0 calibration logic needs only 5 minutes and a single sample per day. Plus it automatically compensates for most changes in environmental temperature or pressure. So SPECTROMAXx delivers outstanding stability, productivity, and savings, time after time.
