iSpark

The ARL iSpark Series is a high performance OES spectrometer platform based on the best PMT (photomultiplier tube) optics. It features the most sensitive CCD (charge-coupled device) optics, enhanced degree of functionality and other innovative technologies, including:

• Unique PMT or dual CCD/PMT optics

• Revolutionary digital spark generator

• Innovative spark stand design

• Advanced acquisition technologies and processing algorithms for PMT and CCD signals

• Single Spark Acquisition with diffuse spark intensity removal algorithm to improve accuracy on PMTs

• Most advanced analysis of micro-inclusions

• Smart argon management with argon saving modes

Optional methods using the Spark-DAT algorithms allow ultra-fast analysis of micro-inclusions, such as Al2O3, CaO, Al2O3-CaO, MnS and CaS in steel, or TiB2, oxides, carbides, nitrides and chlorides in aluminum. The inclusion information can be obtained simultaneously without any change in operation or maintenance compared to standard OES analysis.
