Robust automation and reporting, together with its small
footprint and low cost of ownership make the Explorer 4 Analyzer the best solution
for operations looking to improve their production processes and quality while
also maximizing operational budgets. The Explorer 4 Analyzer rapidly provides
full morphological and chemical characterization of each individual inclusion.
The Explorer 4 Analyzer with Recipe Automated Feature
Analysis (RAFA), provides a fast, accurate way for the metals industry to
monitor and control the presence of nonmetallic inclusions that affect product
quality. For example, inclusions in the steel making process can promote nozzle
clogging, which leads to downgraded quality. Monitoring the number and type of
inclusions lets steel makers adjust the production process to reduce the number
of interruptions and improve the quality of their products. The powerful RAFA extends
the proven Aspex algorithms to accurately and reproducibly analyze large sets
of production data. The data sets can be reviewed to
identify and correct process issues. The ability to monitor and optimize an
industrial process is critical for maximizing production efficiency, cost
savings, and the ultimate profitability of the operation.
