L Series XRF
Electroplated coatings on large hardware
The L Series is Bowman’s most versatile instrument. It combines all of the features of the P Series with a larger sample chamber and greater X-Y stage travel. For samples larger than ~10 inches (254 mm) in any direction, the L Series is a must-have. The large sample stage and travel allows both large parts, or large sample fixtures holding multiple parts, to be measured. The chamber is fully enclosed with a chamber size up to 22″ (559mm) x 24″ (610mm) x 13″ (330mm). The X-Y stage travel distance is 10″x10″ (254mm x 254mm).
The standard configuration includes a 4-position multiple collimator assembly, and a variable focus camera for measuring recessed areas. As with other models, the collimator sizes and focal distances are customizable. The programmable X-Y stage is included which allows for a chamber Z-height of 10″ (254mm). Optionally, the stage can be removed to allow for the maximum chamber Z-height of 13″ (330mm). An SDD detector is included, along with our long-life micro-focus x-ray tube.
The L Series XRF is best suited to customers with these requirements:
- Parts over 10″ (254 mm) and up to 24″ (600 mm) in any dimension
- Large fixtures to hold multiple samples for automated multi-point measurement
- Ability to expand to larger sized samples for future projects
- Guaranteed to meet IPC-4552, 4553, 4554 and 4556
- ASTM B568 and ISO 3497
- The desire to upgrade an old XRF’s performance and efficiency – and get a generous trade-in bonus!
- The need for RoHS compliance
