ARL™ SMS-XY Automation for XRF

Increase your capacity to handle more samples in less time. The Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ SMS-XY Automation for XRF permits automated operation with reduced routine operator interaction of Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ 9900 series X-ray Spectrometers. Increased automation brings increased analysis quality, lower analysis costs, a more sustainable analysis cadence with predictable and reproducible response times and a short payback period.

The Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ OEM-XY automated sample loader allows connecting the Thermo Scientific™ ARL™ PERFORM'X or ARL™ 9900 series X-ray Spectrometers to fully automatic preparation machines. The prepared sample, usually a pressed pellet, is conveyed on a transport belt from the press to the spectrometer. Continuous and unattended operation is ensured through the supervision of an engineering company software. These systems are available for various types of applications in cement, metallurgy and mining.

The ARL SMS software is a unique product providing automation of Thermo Scientific™ X-ray fluorescence spectrometers with reduced routine operator interaction.
