ARTUS 8

ARTUS 8 - High Performance, Metal Analyser


MERLIN 8 Spectrometers

Technology At Work For You

The ARTUS 8 fulfils the requirement of providing fast, precise and accurate analyses for the perfect melt. It is one of the most powerful and reliable spectrometers offering a complete range of analytical programs including cast irons, steels with carbon and nitrogen, and all alloying elements and their traces needed for treatment.

It offers all the advantages of a flexible and versatile CMOS spectrometer. It even challenges some applications with classical photo multiplier systems, which are still the benchmark in high-end OES.

Bringing Performance & Reliability

Quality Control and Assurance are essential to making your business successful. The ARTUS 8 is the ideal companion for incoming material, in-process testing, independent laboratory testing and final quality inspection. It is widely used in the steel manufacturing, cookware, automotive, aluminium extrusion, cast iron and carbon steel industries.

Risks such as material mix-ups & machinery damage are reduced thanks to adapters which detect & analyse oddly shaped samples and small pieces and the optimisable grade library which visually displays non-compliance alloy specifications

Large Spark Plate

The plates' corrosion resistant surface and heat dissipation composition ensures 24 hours of un-interrupted and stable analysis.

One - Button Stop Activation

In the event of mis - operation, work can be stopped immediately to ensure the safety of personnel and the instrument.

Internal Gas Path Protection

The ARTUS 8 uses a gas path protection device. If the instrument is not used for a long period of time, the gas path/light chamber purification time will not exceed 8 minutes.

Performance At The Click Of A Button

It is not only the optical resolution that determines the analytical power of the instrument. ARUN's bespoke software package has a powerful spectrometric hub as well as all the needed added features that help in daily routine work and make the use of the instrument efficient and a pleasure to operate.
