Yokogawa Europe is now offering the next generation of Fourier Transform FT-NIR Spectrometer for use in the oil and gas, food and pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries.
The company has designed an improved infrared spectrometer called the NR800, which is designed for meeting the needs of measurement for many more applications than its predecessor the NR500. The analyser has no frictional wearing parts. A stable actuator and quartz half mirrors, combined with vibration-resistant design give very high signal to noise and stability. Calibration models can therefore be built with con-fidence and are easily transferable between lab and process versions of the analysers.
Features and benefits include:
* Laser controller interferometer - highly stable and linear spectral measurement, fully transferable.
* Standalone process operation - in-built stable computer for true process on-line operation.
* Four true simultaneous channels implemented with multidetectors and beam splitting. (No multipexer is used.)
* Choice of double or single beam optical paths. True process double beam fibres eliminate temperature variations.
* Suitable for Zone 1 hazardous installations, allowing flexibility of installation.
Yokogawa's support facilities in Japan, Singapore, US and Europe, plus partnerships with small niche application development companies enables the company to grow and extend its universal support for a very wide range of applications.
