The Thermo Scientific ARL SMS-2300 Robotics-Based Automation for OES or XRF is an automated quality control solution to optimize a steel production operation. It allows meeting stringent steel specifications while increasing efficiency and lowering production costs. With the high-performance ARL SMS-2300 system, even the most complex samples are prepared and analyzed under reproducible conditions without operator intervention, so human variables and subjective factors are eliminated. The result is increased output, reliable results as well as reduced costs.
