XL2 plus

Handheld metal analyzer for fast on-site analysis and PMI

XL2 plus

The XL2 plus analyzes metals fast, easily and reliable. In addition to stainless steel alloys, it also separates pure aluminum from aluminum alloys and AlZn from AlMg. The SD-detector is equipped with the integrated ProGuard detector protection. ProGuard reduces the risk of shavings damaging the detector. Within a few seconds, the chemical composition and the material ID is displayed on the screen. The integrated alloy database includes most of industrial alloys.

 

Advantages:

  • Intuitive user guidance with a new interface
  • Touchscreen and directional hard keys for quick navigation
  • Ergonomically positioned colour display
  • Ag-tube for better excitation of sulphur
  • SD-detector with integrated ProGuard detector protection with enhanced sensitivity for light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl)
  • Encrypted measurement data, not subsequently manipulatable –data proof
  • Integrated CCD camera documents the measurement spot and together with the new nose guard alignment provides precise sample positioning
  • Measure non-stop: The new Hot Swap feature allows continuous measuring without battery replacement
  • Versatile: Multiple calibrations available for different applications on one analyzer.
  • IP 54 certification (dust and splash-proof)

 


Areas of application

Scrap Recycling and Fabrication

In metal recycling, the Niton XL2 plus spectrometer simplifies metal sorting. Scrap is sorted in no time to achieve best prices.

Verification of metals and alloys with fast on-site analysis protects against material mix up, complaints and claims. The handheld spectrometer XL2 plus identifies alloys in incoming goods inspection, in production or at outgoing quality control and quality assurance.

Typical materials:

  • Chrome steels, stainless steels, NCT
  • Chrome-molybdenum steels
  • Low alloy steels
  • Tool Steels
  • Nickel, cobalt based alloys
  • Copper, brass, bronze alloys
  • Titanium and aluminium alloys (incl. Mg, Al, Si)
  • Precious metals (jewellery alloys)
