Overview

The Modutemp system offers an unparalleled opportunity for XRF laboratories to grow seamlessly from a single, manually-operated furnace to a fully-automated robotic system, as required.  Building on its already proven, bead-making furnaces, XRF Technology now offers a Robotic module that can be added to one or two existing furnaces, or supplied as a complete new installation.  Robotic sample handling enables many of the ‘human variables’ to be removed from the fusion process, while also separating laboratory staff from the heat of the furnaces.

The dual system (pictured above) offers an automated production rate of 50-60 samples per hour, dependant only on the fusion time required for the samples.  The robotic module collects prepared samples and moulds from a load / unload point and supervises the entire fusion process, delivering spent crucibles and fused beads back to the load / unload point. Indexing is maintained throughout to prevent mis-identification.
