FOX-IQ

XRF Analyzers
Features
Quickly Analyze And Compare Alloy Tubes And Rods To Specification

The FOX-IQ system can be configured for fully automated alloy testing with data logging and alerts.

Typical Applications:

  • 100% heat or batch alloy type verification
  • Quality control of components after the fabrication process
  • Use in service centers to confirm alloy type before shipment
  • Alloy types: stainless steels, carbon steels, low-alloy steels, tool steels, nickel alloys, nickel-cobalt alloys, titanium alloys, zirconium alloys, copper-nickel alloys, brasses, bronzes, and aluminum alloys
Software

The FOX-IQ® system is driven by powerful and intuitive software developed specifically for the tube/pipe industry. Features include multilevel access, pass/fail and chemistry analysis, and extensive reporting.

The FOX-IQ in-line analyzer consists of three rugged components:

Probe Head Assembly (PHA):

The PHA contains the X-ray tube, detector, and front-end digital signal processing electronics. The unit can be precalibrated, and its modular design makes it easy to swap out.

Electrical Interface Assembly:

This assembly supports an external sample trigger input and provides a pass/fail indicator signal that can be used to trigger a “kicker” or other line equipment, such as a PLC, to accept or reject the sample based on the analysis result.

User Interface Computer:

The computer runs the PC software that controls the instrument, analyzes the sample, manages the results, and interfaces with customer systems through RS232 or TCP/IP.

Specification

Tube Filtering Up to five (5) filter positions for optimal analysis on 25+ elements
Shutter Automatic shutter for safety and internal standardization
Power AC 110–250 V, 50/60 Hz
I/O The user interface runs on a PC equipped with the Olympus PC software that controls the FOX-IQ; this software analyzes sample spectra, manages results, and interfaces with external devices through RS-485 or TCP/IP. There are dry contacts on all outputs and 24 V start/stop and interlock signals.
Data Logging Up to 12 fields of information per sample including Job #, Work Order, Part #, etc. Auto tracks alarms, pass/fails, and elemental results within a work order or run. Stores >100,000 tests, including results, sample ID, and spectral data, in a binary, tamper-proof format.
