Process and Quality Control

All processes must be continuously monitored and the quality guaranteed one hundred percent at all times. This is the function of this sector in a nutshell. One can only guess at how complex and extensive the analytical requirements really are here if one takes a look at the various industrial sectors and the analytics they involve. Practically every modern method of analysis is utilised in process and quality control. And Bruker always supplies an optimal technical solution.
Yet, despite the enormous diversity, those responsible for quality and processes always demand the same high performance from their analytical system in terms of reliability, reproducibility, operability and quality of the results. This is because they are responsible for the quality of, for example, thousands of hectolitres of wine, thousands of structured wafers, millions of tonnes of cement or millions of tablets.

Metals and Automotive (XRD)

Various analytical methods are used during the development, production and refinement of metals and work pieces. The closer the manufacturing process approaches the final product the more important non-destructive methods become checking the sample.

Glass and Coatings (XRF & XRD)

Certainly glass is one of the most important and fascinating material since ancient times, although in a physical sense the description ‘glass’ might be misleading. Nowadays the description ‘glass’ is more commonly used as a synonym for a state of aggregation between fluid and solid. But this particular property of glass makes it a universal material which can be used for countless applications.

Process AnalyticalTechnologies (IR/NIR/Raman)

Bruker Optics offers FT-IR, FT-NIR and Raman spectrometers designed to help all your analytical process applications.

$Ceramics and Refractories (XRF & XRD)$

Ceramics and Refractories (XRF & XRD)

High grade ceramic materials are crucial for every high-temperature industrial production process far above 1200 °C such as metal production (Steel, Copper and Aluminium), Cement, Glass, energy generation and thermal waste treatment.

Plastics and Polymers (XRF)

Today polymers can be found everywhere, the range of applications that far exceeds that of any other traditional material from packaging materials, adhesives, foams, plastic containers, textiles, fibres and construction parts in airplanes and automobiles. During development and production the compounds in polymers have to be controlled strictly to meet the national and international regulations avoiding potential danger due to hazardous and toxic substances.
