1 Compact and Affordable

2 Compact and affordable While just about every metals company experiences the need to analyse incoming and / or outgoing materials, there remains a large number of mainly MSMEs that continue to rely on external laboratories to fulfil this need. While aware of the benefits that spectrometers offer, the high capital and operating costs typically associated with spectrometers are the most common reasons which make them baulk at purchasing such useful instruments. The Spartan, which shares its DNA with the Metavision N-Series spectrometers has been custom-designed by Metal Power to address the needs of such users. Sample clamping is automatic and the sample stand is open, allowing small and large samples to be mounted with ease. With high precision, accuracy and repeatability, the Spartan is a rugged and compact bench-top solution that meets all the critical quality assurance needs of fast-growing and quality-conscious MSMEs. Key Applications Rolling mills, foundries, workshops: Rapid analysis; test several 100s of samples daily Alloy manufacturers: Ideal for those with a limited number and range of grades Small-sized industries: Most economical spectrometer in the world Users with limited test volumes: Extremely low cost per analysis ideal for those with critical but low-volume needs Highlights Compact, rugged and accurate high precision and stability Single SUS standardization Thermally stabilized optics Fully automated, PC controlled Vacuum-free optics for fast stabilization Global programs for Fe, Al or Cu bases Features Open Sample Stand to conveniently accommodate samples of a wide range of sizes and shapes Unmatched analytical performance and reliability with excellent long-term stability Global calibration programs for Fe, Al or Cu bases Accurate and precise analysis including grade determination Analysis of all key elements Grade Identification library for quick identification and confirmation of grades Easy to use with full PC control Wired/wireless remote transmission and display provision of analysed results Vacuum-free optics enabling fast stabilization Most economical spectrometer in the world

3 Available for Ferrous and non-ferrous analyses, the Spartan is powered by the same Analyst operating and applications suite that powers the Metavision N-Series spectrometers. Designed for usage even by untrained operators, the Spartan is not just easy-to-use, but also easy to maintain, while its low Argon and electricity consumption ensure that operating costs do not offset its low cost of acquisition, making it the instrument with the lowest acquisition cost as well as Total Cost of Ownership in the world. Rolling mills, foundries and workshops which have smaller scales typically find it difficult to justify the acquisition costs of an OES despite knowing the tremendous upsides on the operational front. With a limited number of grades to be tested, such users find themselves being asked to pay for a multitude of features they don t really need. The Spartan is specifically designed for such users. With global calibrations and unlimited type matrices, the Spartan presents these users with a robust financial case to supplement the undoubted operational benefits that accrue from owning a spectrometer. Alloy industries with smaller plants, such as those in Aluminium die-casting or brass as well as those making steels typically manufacture specific grades, but require high-quality of analyses in their material testing. For all such users, the Spartan offers exceptional value for money, providing rapid, accurate and precise analysis for all their grades. Small-sized industries are typically budget-constrained and look at low costs of acquisition as one of the foremost considerations when evaluating procurement of any capital equipment. Such users typically require only 8-10 elements to be analysed. The Spartan covers all key elements down to levels that more than adequately cover the analytical needs of such users. Users with limited test volumes face a tough choice when evaluating inhouse solutions. Chemical testing labs are adequate, but apart from being slow, they also require substantial salary costs on qualified chemists to conduct analyses. For such users, the Spartan offers the option to do away with these overheads, greatly reducing operating costs while offering superior and more wide-ranging analytical performance.
