The FOUNDRY-MASTER range of stationary optical emission spectrometers for process control and chemical analysis of metals.
Engineered for high analytical flexibility, the stationary spectrometers FOUNDRY-MASTER offer the ideal, cost-effective solution for all metal producing and metal processing industries.
Thanks to the modular system of the FOUNDRY-MASTER range, each stationary analyser is ideally addressing different customers' needs and requirements:
- FOUNDRY-MASTER Xline - the reliable entry level laboratory spectrometer for the precise detection of all relevant elements in Fe and other matrices.
- FOUNDRY-MASTER Xpert - covers even elements like Lead, Selenium and Lanthanum
All FOUNDRY-MASTER analysers strive to bring-out the optimum analysis work day after day. The robust, rugged and proven OES quality is common to all FOUNDRY-MASTER spectrometers. Their compact design allows close-up proximity to the production line and thus speeding up analysis time.
The stationary metal analysers FOUNDRY-MASTER range offers:
- Ease-of-use and simplicity
- Highest analytical performance
- Outstanding price-performance ratio

- No time consuming research in norms and grade catalogues.
FOUNDRY-MASTER Xpert & Xline
FOUNDRY-MASTER Xline
The recently introduced FOUNDRY-MASTER Xline is the ideal spectrometer for small ferrous and non-ferrous foundries and related processing industries. Although designed for being a reliable entry level laboratory spectrometer, it offers outstanding performance and practical features usually only found with premium class instruments.
- Wavelength range of 165 - 780 nm
- Precise detection of all relevant elements in Fe and other matrices
FOUNDRY-MASTER Xpert
The FOUNDRY-MASTER Xpert analyses ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including Nitrogen in high-alloyed duplex steels and covers even critical elements like Lead, Selenium and Lanthanum with low levels of detection.
- Widest spectral range from 130 - 780 nm covering nearly all interesting elements for any metal material including Nitrogen in steel
- Fast and compact readout system for Dynamic Integration Algorithm (DIA) to improve precision
- Direct light path enables low detection limits
