Introducing
SPECTROMAX X LMX09
ARC/SPARK OES ANALYZER
Next-generation improvements lead the
way for ultra-reliable performance
Best-selling analysis
for material control
SPECTROMAXx
From incoming materials to in-process testing to final inspection for outgoing quality,
metal producing and fabricating plants demand advanced elemental analysis. For over a
decade, one instrument has routinely delivered just that.
Its record of reliability has helped make SPECTROMAXx perhaps the industry’s best-
selling arc/spark optical emission spectrometry (OES) analyzer. Its fast, accurate, cost-effective
measurements add essential certainty in critical supply chains worldwide.
Like its predecessors, this ninth-generation SPECTROMAXx furnishes outstanding
speed. Users get ultrafast information, and can react rapidly to changing process
conditions. It also provides drastically reduced cost of
ownership — with lower consumables plus advanced
diagnostics and easy maintenance to increase availability
and prevent expensive downtime.
FAST, SIMPLE STANDARDIZATION WITH ICAL 2.0
Using conventional analyzers, standardization can take 30+ minutes, demand multiple
samples, and require reruns whenever site conditions change. By contrast, in most
cases SPECTRO’s proprietary iCAL 2.0 calibration logic needs only 5 minutes and
a single sample per day. Plus it automatically compensates for most changes in
environmental temperature or pressure. So SPECTROMAXx delivers outstanding
stability, productivity, and savings, time after time.

UV Plus cleaning cartridge, eliminating extra argon
consumption and contamination risks.
Both versions feature a temperature-stabilized system,
heating both optics and requiring no external cooling.
Both versions are available as floor-mounted units with
optional PC stand, or benchtop models.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE HARDWARE EASY-TO-USE SOFTWARE
Even for less experienced personnel, SPECTRO’s SPARK
ANALYZER Pro software takes effortless operation to a new
level. User favorites include application profiles (which can be
tailored to predetermined user requirements); automatic program
selection (which can automatically choose the right submethod
for a given material); and argon saver (which can shut off gas
flushes until a user-determined time).
Software function highlights:
• Ability to recall stored spectra — results can be re-evaluated/
recalculated later, even if samples have been consumed
• Extended data export functions — users can choose reporting
formats including XML files, ASCII files, or TCP/IP transmission
• Quick-check programs — main elements for iron and
aluminum materials can be rapidly identified and analyzed in
less than 12 seconds
• Onsite upgrades/additions of analytical methods — new
spectral lines, analytical methods, and even complete matrices
can be remotely added to installed units without any hardware
changes
