MetalScan 2500 series PDF Print E-mail

metalscan_2500
The MetalScan 2500 series is a range of revolutionary desktop metals analysers, designed to give high precision analysis on-site in the foundry and engineering industries of the world. It offers laboratory precision analysis of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, in a small, robust, low-cost and easy to use package. Its use of advanced CCD detector array technology makes it extremely flexible. An integral liquid crystal colour screen with touch operation makes the use of the instrument simple for all levels of personnel.

 

 


The MetalScan 2500 series offers laboratory precision analysis of metals in a small, robust, low-cost and easy to use package. The version for materials which do not require the analysis of Sulphur and Phosphorous such as Aluminium alloys or Zinc alloys, is the MetalScan 2550. Additionally the MetalScan 2560 incorporates an argon flushed spectrometer with a high sensitivity CCD detector so that it is especially suitable for the analysis of light elements such as sulphur, carbon and phosphorous. Although primarily designed for the analysis of iron-based metals, the MetalScan 2560 is equally at home analysing non-ferrous metals as well. Any combination of calibrations can be supplied in one instrument.

The MetalScan 2500 series can be supplied as single-base or multi-base instruments using the same hardware. Extra bases can be added without any hardware changes as analytical lines are selected by software.

As a production tool in the foundry, as a low-cost back-up to your conventional laboratory spectrometer, or as a laboratory spectrometer in its own right, the MetalScan 2500 series is the right choice.
