The MetalScan 'A' series is a range of portable metals analysers, designed to give selectable levels of analytical performance on site, in an easy to use package. Like the other ARUN products, the MetalScan 'A' series uses advanced CCD detector array technology to provide extreme flexibility.

Both versions can be supplied as a single base or a multiple base use, with either standard or special calibrations using the same hardware.

The MetalScan ASSORT uses arc excitation in air to provide grade identification, positive material identification (PMI) and semi quantitative analysis of all types of metals. Restandardisation is not required and there are no setting up samples required nor supplied. The sample surface can be rough and even oxidised so preparation is not required. An extensive range of standard calibrations is available in all the common metal bases. For differentiating between 316 and 316L stainless steel grades, the ASCERT is required.

The MetalScan ASCERT has both types of excitation included so that it can operate simply in a semi quantitative analytical mode without argon or the need for sample preparation or alternatively in a full quantitative mode with argon gas and some preparation for the analysis of all types of metals. It only takes a few moments to change from one mode to the other. A clean, flat surface is required and setting up samples are provided with each calibration for periodic restandardisation. An extensive range of standard calibrations is available in all the common metal bases.

Both models can be single base Ferrous, or multi-base with all the other common materials such as Copper Alloys, Aluminium Alloys, Magnesium Alloys, Zinc Alloys, Cobalt, Titanium, Lead, Tin etc.

A full range of accessories including trolleys, battery packs and small sample adaptors is available for the MetalScan 'A' Series products.

PolySpek the new series of multi-CCD, multi-optic desktop spectrometers from ARUN Technology, the originators of CCD based metals analysis.

Nearly twenty years of CCD-OES know-how has gone into the design of the new PolySpek series of desktop spectrometers from ARUN Technology. Up to four separate optical systems can be incorporated to cover the emission spectrum required for metallurgical work and which conventionally lies between 165 and 780 nanometers. Particular combinations of the optical elements are available for specific single matrix or multi-matrix applications. The optical components have been tailored to provide different dispersions in different wavelength ranges with the best resolution in the ultra violet region of 165 to 200 nanometers. Less resolution is required in the infrared region between 470 and 680 nanometers where only a few key emission line need to be resolved.

Neither optical fibres, nor vacuum pumps are used in the PolySpek and only the ultra violet optical section (if supplied) is argon purged.

• State of the art, user-friendly metals analysis software
• Simple to set up and operate
• Sophisticated facilities
• Product specific MetalScan SPARCS A-PLUS & A-PASS software products

Built on the experience of decades of use, SPARCS and the new A-PLUS (Desktop) and A-PASS (Portables) software turn powerful analytical instruments into easy to use, robust business tools.

ARUN Technology's MetalScan M2500 desktop metals analysis systems and M1600 series portable instruments utilise SPARCS software.

SPARCS (Spectrometer Analysis, Reporting & Control Software) specifically designed for CCD-array based spectrometers. No matter how technically sophisticated the equipment itself, each unit is easy to configure for the needs of the individual user. The use of Function Keys and its intuitive user-interface makes each MetalScan spectrometer simplicity itself to operate.

ARUN Technology's PolySpek & PolySpek Junior metals analysis systems utilise the A-PLUS software. A-PLUS (Arun-PolySpek Laboratory User System)

and

ARUN Technology's 'A' Series Portable metals analysis systems utilise the A-PASS software. A-PASS (Arun-Portable Arc Spark System)

Software built on extensive experience of optical emission spectrometer instruments.

The software allows non-experts to achieve accurate and fully documented tests on metal samples. Yet it provides supervisory staff with all the controls needed to ensure comprehensive and frequent reporting, detailed analysis and verification of results. Set-up procedures also allow supervisory staff to configure each unit to suit individual operating conditions, all under password protection.

In over a decade of development the software has been constantly enhanced with new features reflecting the demands of its users and exploiting the potential of successive MetalScan products.

Available in a variety of languages, including complex ones such as Chinese. Please check with you local distributor for availability.
