The launch of the new Axios FAST simultaneous XRF system is another landmark
achievement for leading X-ray analysis company PANalytical
(Almelo, the Netherlands). Advanced, rapid, and easy to use, the Axios FAST
is synonymous with the highest levels of accuracy and precision, excellent detection
limits, high throughput and maximum uptime. Pioneering technology ensures that
Axios FAST delivers unrivalled speed and throughput for routine analysis and
dedicated real-time process control, combined with the flexibility to operate
in industrial applications ranging from mining exploration to steelmaking.

New Axios FAST
Axios FAST excels in speed by allowing simultaneous fixed-channel measurements
of up to 28 elements. The system is equipped with the latest X-ray technology
to guarantee high uptime, including:
- 4 kW SST-mAX X-ray tube with ZETA-technology, for the most stable tube output
over time
- high throughput sample loading turret mechanism, allowing the introduction
of new samples even while a measurement is in progress
- externally mounted measuring channels giving simple access, for routine
maintenance, addition or removal of channels, and initial alignment
- extensive self-monitoring facilities for remote diagnostics
- proven SuperQ software, renowned for its highly intuitive interface and
menu
- dedicated software and hardware interfaces for flexible connection to sample
transport devices and host computers, enabling fully automated analysis
Axios FAST is the latest addition to PANalytical’s acclaimed Axios family
of wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometers. Its primary role is to perform high-speed
routine XRF measurements for dedicated process control. But the system is also
capable of addressing additional analytical requirements: for example, it can
be fitted with up to four programmable goniometers, which can run simultaneously
to give additional flexibility compared to a dedicated fixed channel configuration.
