1 A fast, lightweight, handheld X-ray tube based XRF alloy analyser

2 Rain or sun, arctic cold or tropical heat,, the climate or weather does not interfere with your analysisa work. Metorex has over 30 years experience of developing portable analyzers for rugged field conditions. Flexible analytical capabilities enable use in all segments of the metals market The X-MET 3000TA is a rugged, handheld XRF analyzer which incorporates advanced x-ray tube technology. The X-MET 3000TA XRF alloy analyzer provides a fast and simple way to perform alloy analysis outside in the field, inside in the laboratory or on-site in the production process. X-MET 3000TA is the right solution - whenever fast and effective scrap sorting is required - whenever accurate PMI needs to be done by inspectors in petrochemical or chemical plants - whenever alloy confirmation is required in production of metal fabrication A lightweight handheld X-ray tube based alloy analyzer to meet your changing requirements As standard, the X-MET 3000TA has an alloy library containing Nickel Alloys Stainless Steels Cobalt Alloys Low Alloy Steel Tool Steels Copper Alloys Titanium Alloys Aluminium Alloys New alloys can be added easily at any time, any site. The Windows CE based PMI software includes different analysis modes according to user's needs: Grade ID Quantitative chemistries Spectra Match with factory provided library or user created alloy library No isotopes: no resourcing costs and no travel restrictions * Miniature x-ray tube technology minimizes licencing procedures and costs. An x-ray tube based instrument generates no radiation unless power is applied to the x-ray tube. Unlike instruments with radioactive isotope sources there are no special regulatory requirements regarding the transportation and storage of the instrument. It can be carried on airplanes as carryon baggage. The tube warranty is longest in the industry due to proprietary technology. * local laws and regulations must be observed

3 Fast and accurate analysis - customized to your special needs Quick and easy measurements Grade ID of a sample and full analysis (composition and Grade) of an alloy can be obtained in 2-5 seconds. No prior information about the sample composition is required. Just point the probe at the sample, pull the trigger and read the result. High quality commercial PDA* as user interface User interface including excellent color touch screen display and easy-to-use menu enables effortless use in daily work. TFT display is easily read in all lightning conditions. The Windows CE based operating system is commonly known from PC world. PDA incorporates numerous utility programs (ex. Calendar, calculator, voice recognition) using the well-known Windows environment PDA s standard software enables full PC compatibility to process the measurement result in any way the user wants. All user results and spectra can be stored on the high capacity FLASH card memory and can be transferred to your PC. The FLASH card can be inserted into your PC where it will appear as an additional removable disk drive or the files can be transferred using Microsoft ActiveSync software over the USB cable supplied with the instrument. Delivered as turn the key and start analysis tool Calibration certificate is included in the delivery as well as control sample to verify the performance of the analyzer whenever wanted. Analysis program upgrade available quickly - at any time, on-site Calibrations can be customized using . It is not necessary to return the unit to the factory for new calibrations. New alloys can be added to the user library on-site in less than one minute. Shoot and read the result. PDA (* Personal Digital Assistant) and FLASH card

4 Positive Material Identification Fast and accurate results from samples of different sizes and shapes The design of the snout allows easy access to even the most difficult sample shapes e.g. corner welds. Small parts and small distances between sample and probe do not effect the measurement. Titanium stabilized stainless steel can be separated from normal stainless steels with a single measurement in ten seconds. For example: The 304/321 separation and Sn or Sb analysis down to 0.1% needs only a single measurement. The trigger and PDA can be detached from the main unit and used remotely allowing the access to difficult analysis points. Versatile and easy storing of results A practically unlimited number of grades can be stored in the analyzer. Recording of results can be automated if required. Results can be read by your PC and its familiar software. An unlimited number of results can be stored for further processing. Wires more than 1mm in diameter or small objects of same magnitude can be identified in seconds. Special rod adapter is available. Name your sample Measure Produce the PMI report A handy instrument stand for benchtop operations is included with the instrument. For small sample measurements there is a special safety cap provided.

5 During analysis, when power is on, there are several automatic saftey features: IR sensor* monitors sample contact. X-ray activation is prevented if any movement in sample during the measurement. A dual red indicator light tells when x-rays are generated. Even to tight corner welds are conveniently accessed. * Hot sample surfaces can be analyzed.

6 Fast and reliable Scrap analysis Accuracy turns into profit Accurate analysis of Ni, Co, Cu, Ti and other value adding elements allow upgrading of scrap even with the tight tolerances which metal scrap buyers use today. By detecting tramp elements penalties are avoided. Using X-MET 3000TA s empirical measurement you can achieve lower detection limits. Rare metals such as Mo, Ta, La, Cd, Zn, Zr and Cd based alloys can be reliably measured. Rugged tool for a scrap sorting professional Ruggedness of X-MET 3000TA is tested by TUV (Test Report US- TUVR-1381). Trouble-free use is ensured through careful design keeping the demanding environments of scrap sorting in mind. Thanks to a simple and easy Shoot and read configuration and brief training session required, it is possible to have the maximum number of X-MET 3000TA experts at your service in shortest possible period. Measurements can be done in any weather conditions - rain does not prevent the analysis. High Voltage generator for the x-ray tube rated to 40kV. This enables the elemental range from Ti to Sb to be measured using more sensitive K-lines.
