3、 Core Technology
1. Optical components and dynamic temperature compensation technology:
-Q4 POLO adopts innovative MultiVision? Optical components that can achieve detection capability covering all elements. The optical components have a volume optimized design that can maintain high ultraviolet transparency for a long time, and the argon purification function can reduce argon consumption.
-The device also has two independent optical paths covering the wavelength range of 130-785 nm, with good resolution and the ability to accurately detect the characteristic spectral lines of important alkaline elements such as lithium and sodium in aluminum based materials.
- AACT™Dynamic temperature compensation technology effectively eliminates thermal drift, maintains accuracy and repeatability of detection, and performs particularly well in light element analysis.
2. New ArgoShield™Argon gas flow technology:
-Combined with coaxial argon gas flow technology, it can more effectively remove the dust generated by excitation, reduce the pollution of the lens during the measurement process, and lower the maintenance frequency.
3. Magnesium fluoride lens:
-Integrated design, easy to maintain.
4. Optimized optical path design:
-The new electromagnetic drive design enables seamless switching between direct and indirect optical paths. Q4 POLO is sealed and does not require additional argon gas, while maintaining high UV transparency of the optical system.
5、SmartSpark™-Digital light source:
-The digital light source in Q4 POLO provides stable excitation with a frequency of up to 1000 Hz and a variable discharge time as low as 2 ms.
6. Equipped with sample free excitation protection function:
-Effectively prevent equipment damage caused by misoperation.
These technical features make the Q4 POLO direct reading spectrometer highly efficient, accurate, and stable in metal element analysis.
4、 Application Cases
1. Fast detection, simultaneous detection of multiple elements:
-When analyzing in front of the furnace, a direct reading spectrometer can quickly analyze multiple elements in the casting, usually obtaining results within a few minutes. This rapid detection capability helps to monitor the casting production process in real-time, thereby improving production efficiency.

2. Solid state analysis requires minimal pre-processing:
-Compared with traditional chemical analysis methods, direct reading spectrometers greatly simplify the preprocessing steps required for analyzing samples. When analyzing castings, it is only necessary to grind the surface of the sample flat, without the need for complex steps such as sample crushing, acid dissolution heating decomposition, chemical reactions, colorimetric analysis, and manual readings.

3. Save added elements and reduce production costs:
-A direct reading spectrometer can quickly and accurately quantify the chemical composition of a sample. For casting enterprises, especially stainless steel production enterprises, this instrument can help control the content of key elements such as chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) within the lower limit required by customers, thereby saving these expensive additives and reducing production costs. In addition, due to the fast detection capability of the direct reading spectrometer, it can also improve production efficiency. In the long run, enterprises can save a lot of electricity costs and further reduce production costs.
