ARTUS 10

CMOS image sensors offer extremely low noise, rapid frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency and high resolution. The newly designed ARTUS 10 includes a new scientific-grade CMOS sensor which enables shorter analysis time in seconds. The reduced analysis time means operator process time is reduced. The customised sensor detector gives improved resolution of the inpsection system.

By using Optimal Element-Oriented (OEO) technology; any pixel position signal can be extracted separately to achieve independent parameter optimisation and acquisition analysis for each element. UV elements (C, P, S, N) are easily detected.

The OEO and Real Time Management & Control (RTMC) algorithms make for a more efficient performance in CMOS detection. The intelligently matched spark discharge waveform results in improved detection of the variable elements. The intelligent algorithms eliminate background interference for enabling optimal analysis performance. Abberant Spark Removed (ASR) technology eliminates abnormal sparks for improved analytical accuracy.

The ARTUS 10 accommodates for a stronger abnormal shape adaptability. This makes it easy to deal with sample defects such as porosity. This reduces the probability of operator error during analysis.

For filaments as small as 0.1mm diameter and large pieces up to 200g can be measured. For samples witih varying shapes such as tubes or wire; relative sample holder solutions are available.

The ARTUS 10 has an extremely high detection sensitivity system. Why? When the CMOS photosensitive detector is combined with the dual optics and refrigeration system, a verification limit of parts per million can be achieved. The addition of a Thermal Electric Cooler in some models, means lower detection levels are reached.

• Ultraviolet optical system
• Digital light source system
• Detector refrigeration system (optional)
• Data processing system
• Argon control system

The ARTUS 10 dual optical system design has a dual wide spectral range and high-grade resolution. This enables more accurate analysis of non-metallic UV elements (C, P, S, N). There are no vacuum pump moving parts, light distortion or oil contamination.

The ARTUS 10 thermostatic optical system temperature field uses the best heating components. Its single point ambient temperature is less than 0.1 degrees. The optimised thermal design scheme delivers responsive temperature compensation.

• High thermal stability guarantees a stable optical system and equipment data.
• Options to choose from universal heating components.
• Optimised thermal design with intelligent temperature compensation algorithms.
• Each optical cell is tested for thermal stability (as shown on the left)

The ARTUS 10 exciting gas channel fluid design provides a uniform-filling of the argon gas in a shorter period of time. This means a shortened excitation time and improved efficiency. A self-cleaning function in the chamber cavity, reduces continuous maintenance of the excitation area.

The ARTUS 10 light chamber is consructed from a die-cast aluminium case which receives 4 levels of stress relief treatment; ensuring long-term stability of the spectral position. The precise design of the airflow path makes everything more stable.

Benefits:

• The argon can uniformly fill the excitation table in the shortest time.
• Reduction of sample excitation time, which improves detection efficiency and saves argon.
• The cavity self-cleaning function reduces the excitation table maintenance times.
