The Spectro xSort Alloy employs a silicon PIN (Si-PIN) detector and delivers grade identification of metals in seconds without extensive analysis, the company says. The analyzer is available in different models. Options include an integrated GPS receiver and integrated video camera. All calibrations loaded into Spectro xSort are ready for use.Īdditional features include an X-ray safety gasket to prevent backscatter radiation from light element matrix samples wireless LAN quick-change battery interface bezel with operator-defined hot keys “live” analysis results simplified software with touch screen and the Spectro iCal one-sample, one-time easy automated calibration system. A shutter that automatically closes the measurement window between analyses to protect internal components also functions as the sample material for unique, automatic iCal standardization.Its compact, one-piece 3.62-pound (1.64-kilogram) design is optimized for easy use in the field, even in tight or less accessible spots. Operators don’t have to switch methods between samples or bother with helium flushes or vacuum systems.Spectro says advantages of the xSort include: The Spectro xSort AlloyPlus analyzes most alloys in two seconds, Spectro says, and identifies alloys based on light elements, such as aluminum, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur, in seven seconds.
