(Bowman: Schaumburg, IL) -- Quality departments and contract shops that test many different plated parts need an XRF analyzer with an expansive measurement area, selectable spot sizes, and high levels of precision and speed.

Bowman’s K Series benchtop XRF meets all of these requirements. It has a 12 in. x 12 in. measurable area for parts up to 9 in. tall. Selectable spot sizes accommodate a wide range of features. Focal distances range from 0.25 in. to 3.5 in.

A cantilever door design gives operators easy access; a servo motor-driven programmable stage streamlines sample positioning. Table-view functionality images the entire measurable area, allowing the operator to navigate any location with a single click.

The standard K Series configuration includes a four-position multi-collimator. Variable focus simplifies measurements in recessed areas. Programs can use pattern matching and automatic focus for the most precise measurements.

As with all Bowman XRF systems, the K Series features a silicon drift detector (SDD) and long-life microfocus X-ray tube.
