Manufacturer of 'tuktuk' auto-rickshaws is purchaser of landmark Spectromaxx stationary metal analyser from Spectro
Everyone who has ever been in the Orient or in Africa is familiar with 'tuktuk' motor rickshaws.
Used as collective taxis or small transporters, these three wheel companions with a moped motor and pickup-look are everywhere.
The owners of tuktuks like to decorate them affectionately so that they often appear to be quite adventurous to drive.
But they remain quality products.
Piaggio India, the manufacturer, places high emphasis on material control and has recently brought a second Spectromaxx stationary metal analyser into operation.
At the same time, this instrument is the 2500th Spectromaxx to be produced by Spectro Analytical Instruments in Kleve.
With such a large number of units, this analytical instrument, brought onto the market at the end of 2004, has proven itself to be an international best seller.
Manfred Bergsch, CEO of Spectro, explains why the instrument is so widely distributed: "The Spectromaxx is accurate and fast.
"At the same time it is simple to operate and just as robust as the tuktuks from our customer Piaggio India".
The 2500th instrument will be used for incoming control; being run in multiple-shift operation with a sister instrument that has been in place at Piaggio India for a long time.
Incoming and outgoing control in metal processing is one of the typical applications for the Spectromaxx.
The instrument is also used in smelting plants and foundries.
Spectromaxx technology is tailor-made for these purposes.
The spectrometer is equipped with a controllable spark excitation source and high performance detectors.
The Spectromaxx can detect all of the commonly used elements with a very high accuracy for its product class; determining, for example, the nitrogen content in steel down to only 20mg/kg.
In order to achieve this accuracy, the spectrometer spark stand is equipped with an argon flush.
Consumption of this expensive noble gas is reduced by an economy mode.
Ical, the patented calibration logic from Spectro, is a standard component of the instrument.
