1 Ultimate quality control. No compromise. PROCESS / QUALITY CONTROL

2 Superior metals analysis without compromise Seamless quality control is essential throughout the metals industry, from trace element analysis in scrap metal, to incoming materials inspection, melt process control and goods issue. The FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro2 optical emission spectrometer is a metals analyser engineered to deliver superior analysis at every stage, without compromising your productivity. Thanks to its near constant availability and high resolution dynamic detector you can get detailed results quicker, minimising production downtime and costly errors. A cost effective choice, the FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro2 minimises argon consumption and keeps down operating costs. This unique combination of performance and efficiency makes FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro2 the analysis instrument of choice for the metals industry.

3 Highlights and applications The intuitive user interface and numerous features of the FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro2 make analysis work easy. Just place the sample on the spark stand, start the measurement and read the result. The extremely low detection limits for various applications, particularly carbon and nitrogen analysis in iron and steel, offer superior results in QA/QC and melt process control. Maximum availability, minimum downtime. Excellent long-term stability, precision and accuracy. Increased productivity with higher sample throughput. Low cost of ownership with optimised power and argon consumption. Includes largest metals database on the market for fast and easy grade identification. Method for determination of soluble and insoluble aluminium available. A unique spark stand, accessible from three sides, makes the FOUNDRY-MASTER Pro2 ideal for samples with complex and irregular shapes and sizes.
