X-MAY20 Spectral Metal Analyzer: Precision XRF Metal Analysis
The X-MAY20 Spectral Metal Analyzer is a high-precision desktop X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer designed for fast, accurate, and non-destructive analysis of metals, precious metals, alloys, ores, concentrates, and recycled materials. Using advanced XRF technology, the device identifies and quantifies the elemental composition of a sample by detecting the characteristic fluorescent X-rays emitted from the material after excitation by an X-ray source. This enables users to obtain reliable elemental results within seconds without damaging the sample or requiring chemical preparation.
Designed for applications in jewelry testing, metal manufacturing, mining, recycling, quality control, and laboratory analysis, the X-MAY20 can measure a wide range of elements including Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd, Ir, Re, W, Ru, Rh, Os, Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Pb, In and other detectable elements. It is especially suitable for gold purity testing, alloy identification, ore grade evaluation, scrap metal sorting, and verification of high-value metal products.
Advanced Technology and Device Architecture
X-Ray Fluorescence Testing Principle
The X-MAY20 operates based on X-Ray Fluorescence technology. During the test, the X-ray tube irradiates the surface of the sample. The atoms in the sample are excited and emit secondary fluorescent X-rays that are unique to each element. The detector captures these signals, and the built-in intelligent software converts them into qualitative and quantitative elemental results. This method provides a fast, safe, and non-destructive way to determine the composition and purity of metal samples.
Detector System and Data Acquisition
Equipped with a Si-PIN detector and intelligent FP algorithm, the X-MAY20 provides stable and accurate elemental analysis. The system measures both the energy and intensity of fluorescent X-rays, allowing it to identify elements and calculate their concentration. The integrated HD camera assists in sample positioning and observation, while the touchscreen interface allows operators to select testing modes, view results, and generate reports easily.
Step-by-Step Testing Workflow
Sample Preparation
The X-MAY20 requires little to no sample preparation. Solid metal samples, jewelry, ores, concentrates, powders, and recycled metal materials can be placed directly into the testing chamber. Since the test is non-destructive, valuable samples such as gold, silver, platinum, and jewelry items remain intact after analysis.
Analysis Process
After placing the sample in the chamber, the operator selects the appropriate testing mode on the touchscreen interface. The X-ray source excites the sample, and the detector collects the emitted fluorescent signals. The intelligent software analyzes the spectrum, identifies the elements, and calculates their percentages. The first result can be obtained within 1–2 seconds, and the system reaches stable results within approximately 5 seconds.
Result Interpretation
The X-MAY20 automatically displays the elemental composition and purity information on the screen. The results can be used for metal grade identification, precious metal purity verification, alloy classification, and quality inspection. Reports can be exported through U disk, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or email, supporting efficient documentation and quality control workflows.
