Stationary Optical Emission Spectrometers (OES)
Seamless quality control is essential for any metalworking, starting with tramp element analysis for scrap, inspection of in-coming materials, QA/QC in the foundry process, melt control and goods issue.
Optical emission spectroscopy, or OES, is a well trusted and widely used analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a broad range of metals.
Our stationary optical emission spectrometers offer the highest levels of accuracy and precision of the analytical results, with state-of-the-art CMOS and CCD technology. A powerful yet easy-to-use software package covers almost every application.
Stationary OES range – for elemental analysis in process control and metals QA/QC:
- OE Series – for high-demand metals analysis
- FM EXPERT – low level nitrogen analysis
- FOUNDRY-MASTER Smart – entry level OES
