NewtonX
In-Line XRF Analyzer NewtonX
The NewtonX series of in-line XRF analyzers from Terra Scientific offer flexible configuration options and can be seamlessly integrated with robotic arms and automatic machinery
Introduction
This integration forms an effective detection solution that caters to the unique requirements of various sample types. The detection process is fully automated, minimizing the need for human intervention. This comprehensive online inspection system provides round-the-clock real-time inspection and quality control for production line products.
While manual handheld XRF analysis serves as an efficient method for metal material analysis and grade identification, it falls short in scenarios requiring the inspection of large volumes of products or when downstream customers demand thorough inspection. The manual approach of handheld XRF analyzers cannot keep up with the massive inspection demands of factories. To address this, Terra Scientific has introduced the NewtonX In-Line XRF Analyzer series, designed to excel in online real-time detection for large-scale production. This series enhances detection efficiency, reduces labor costs, and provides valuable chemical composition information and faulty product screening.
The NewtonX In-Line XRF Analyzer series can be custom-configured and effectively integrated with automation tools and devices according to the specific requirements and layout of the production line, ensuring an efficient and tailored detection solution. This automation-controlled process requires minimal human interaction, allowing for continuous, real-time inspection and quality management of production line products.
Application: Quality Control in Metal Production and Processing: Ideal for real-time composition analysis of metal bars, pipes, billets, and a large volume of machined parts during metal production and processing, enabling 24/7 operation. For industries like automotive, aerospace, and nuclear power that prioritize safety, online comprehensive inspection is preferred over random sampling to guarantee 100% product quality standards. It provides detailed information on chemical element concentrations and grades, and performs PASS/FAIL quality tests.
Ore Grade Control: Essential for sorting and grade control of ores during mining processes. The NewtonX can be configured for conveyor belt analysis, significantly enhancing efficiency and ensuring consistent ore grade, thus saving on raw material costs and improving production efficiency with a quick return on investment.
Additional Applications: Beyond solid composition analysis, the NewtonX series is also adept at online real-time detection of solid film thickness (e.g. metal coatings, solar cell coatings, copper tin plating) and liquid or fluid composition analysis (e.g.electroplating solutions, copper foil industry analysis).
Features: Operates 24/7 for mass production and complete quality control. Provides PASS/FAIL outcomes, accurate alloy grades, and chemical composition information.Elemental analysis range from potassium (K) to uranium (U), with a content range of 1ppm to 99.99%. Delivers rapid analysis results in seconds. Durable design suitable for various industrial environments. Applicable for quality management of alloys, coatings, and liquid materials.Data Management.Equipped with proprietary data acquisition and processing software for effective management of real-time online inspection data. The system includes Ethernet connectivity (RJ-45 network port) for remote PC connection, enabling real-time remote monitoring.
