The Instrument for Automated XRF Measurement

The XMS is a robust and versatile sensor for automated XRF analysis, developed especially to meet the requirements for in-line quality inspection and a range of different industrial applications.

The system's lightweight (< 2 kg) and ruggedized design makes it the perfect XRF analyzer for applications where environmental and operational conditions demand portability, as well as providing an extreme robustness against shocks, vibration, humidity, and dust.

The XMS comes with a dedicated Application Programming Interface based on XML, which allows easy integration into almost any coding languages (Python, C, VB, etc.).

Other features include:

20 mm² SDD with CMOS amplifier and graphene-based window for light element detection
Patented DetectorShield™ for long term performance and minimal service
Powerful X-ray source with Rhodium target
High speed pulse processing electronics for maximum count rates
Helium flush nozzle for low-energy element detection down to Na
Splash and dust resistant

Versatile In-Line XRF Analysis

The XMS was designed specifically to bring the benefits of automated XRF measurements to difficult and demanding industrial environments.

The detector is shielded using a graphene-based protective window to prevent punctures and damage whilst still providing optimum performance. When using the optional integrated nozzle for helium purges the XMS can detect down to Sodium, outperforming other available systems used for automated XRF.

In addition, the XMS is portable and versatile. The system has a weight of less than 2 kg allowing it to be easily moved between production lines or transported to in-the-field locations. The compact design of the detector means the detector can be located close to samples in confined spaces, such as core samples in rock sample boxes, or goods that have already been packaged.

Solving your Challenges with In-Line XRF

Automated Core Logging

The XMS, thanks to its ruggedized design and universal API interface, is the ideal solution for the automation of core logging - a fundamental step in geology, mining, oil and gas exploration. Here, cylindrical rock samples are drilled and analysed for mineral deposits, with XRF faciliating the accurate measurement of each core’s elemental composition.

In-Line XRF for Mineral Exploration

In-Line Coating & Layer Analysis

The XMS can be used for the automatic analysis and checking of layers and coatings on mechanical, optical or electrical components as they are produced, delivering efficiency savings and improvements in quality to many industries.

In-Line XRF for Coating Quality Inspection

In-Line Glass Production & Recycling

The XMS enables industries to automate the monitoring of additive concentrations during the glass production process. The system can also be used to automatically sort different glasses for recycling.

In-Line XRF for Glass Sorting

In-line Alloy Identification

The XMS was built to be integrated into production and quality control lines for automation of positive material identification (PMI) and non-destructive testing (NDT) throughout the alloy production process - including incoming material quality checks, process control and quality control prior to shipment.

In-Line XRF for PMI
