S2 PUMA – Mapping-Stage

The S2 PUMA with mapping-stage makes multi-spot quality monitoring an easy task. It lets you quantify the elemental composition of your sample or even the thickness of a coating with high accuracy and spatial resolution (down to 1 mm). The linear motion-drive positions the sample precisely and reproducible. The actual position can be recorded with an integrated HD camera.

The mapping stage extends the application range of the S2 PUMA into semiconductors and coatings, where spatial resolution is required.

Inserts for various sample sizes are available, ranging from 40 mm to 152 mm in diameter. Customized inserts are available on request. 

Key Benefits

  • Measure material homogeneity and/or coating thickness
  • Small and large samples – up to 152 mm in diameter
  • Collimator masks for spot sizes from 1 to 34 mm
  • High precision linear stage for accurate positioning
  • Integrated HD camera for automated image collection  

Measure any sample in minutes: Solid, fused bead, pressed pellet, loose powder, liquid, bulk – simply load sample batches using the EasyLoad™ tray or place your bulk sample directly into the chamber. The S2 PUMA offers the largest sample chamber with dimensions of 450 x 420 x 100 mm. Its carousel tray can hold mixed batches with up to 12 samples of 32, 40, or 51.5 mm in diameter or up to 18 samples of 40 mm in diameter.

The S2 PUMA Carousel is the all-rounder among the benchtop EDXRF analyzers when it comes to sample versatility.

Any Sample Type

  • Solid, powder, liquid,
  • Bulk, one-piece, or prepared

Small-Spot Analysis

  • Collimator masks allow analysis of smallest particles within large samples
  • Spot size: 1 to 34 mm
  • HD camera for sample positioning and verification

S2 PUMA – Automation

The only benchtop EDXRF which can professionally be integrated into fully automated laboratories. The S2 PUMA Automation delivers results on elemental analysis 24/7. The instrument can be connected either via conveyer belt or robot arm link-up to the preparation module. The sample feed interface is at the instrument’s backside, so that the XY Autochanger capabilities remain fully available. Buffer positions inside the instrument in addition to the EasyLoad™ XY tray ensure smooth handling of automated and out-of-line samples at any time.

The HD camera can be used for sample verification: Samples in automation rings run overnight are often not available any more in the morning when staff returns. As a helpful validation tool, the pictures taken automatically by the camera can help to identify e.g. a failed sample surface and thus provide valuable information to clarify suspicious analysis results.

The LIMS-compatible instrument can communicate through Bruker’s dedicated AXSCOM software package with process control units and ensures full integration into existing or new laboratory environments.  

Key Benefits

24/7 Production Control

  • Conveyer belt or robot arm link-up
  • HD camera for sample verification
  • Fully LIMS-compatible with AXSCOM
  • Samples from tray can be analyzed in-between

Fast - Powerful - Accurate

  • The combination of a powerful (50 Watt) X-ray tube with Bruker’s fast HighSense™ silicon drift detectors of the newest generation results in short measurement times and excellent data quality.
  • Dedicated light element configuration for best analytical performance of elements such as sodium (Na)

Short Measurement times with HighSense™ Technology

The HighSense detectors are equipped with a fast 8k multi-channel analyzer (MCA) for high count rates and excellent energy resolution. The new HighSenseTM XP detector is the latest addition to the HighSense Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) generation of the S2 PUMA Series 2.

Thanks to an ultra-high transmission graphene window, the HighSense XP offers best-in-class sensitivity for all elements detectable by EDXRF. In conjunction with the new state-of-the-art Detector Profiling feature, the HighSense XP sets new standards for benchtop EDXRF instruments.

HighSenseTM turns Power into Speed

The direct excitation beam path of the S2 PUMA Series 2 makes full use of the high-power 50 Watt X-ray tube. Optimal excitation of all elements in the sample is guaranteed with up to 50 kV voltage, up to 2 mA current, closely-coupled beam optics, and a 10-position primary beam filter-changer. In combination with the HighSenseTM detector technology this pays back immediately: Better detection limits, higher precision, shorter measurement times!

High Uptime with SampleCare™

SampleCare™ is a unique multi-layer system to protect vital instrument components from contamination. It protects the X-ray tube and the detector from spillage of liquid samples, from particles of solid samples, and from dust. The detector head is protected by DustShield™, an easy-to-replace cap with a high-transmission film. The tube is protected by the filter wheel. A sample type detection (XY Autochanger/Automation only) prevents the analysis of liquid samples, while the system is under vacuum.

SampleCare™ means high uptime and easy maintenance!

Intuitive operation with TouchControl™

TouchControl™ is the S2 PUMA Series 2’s integrated touch screen for easiest instrument operation. The TouchControl user interface enables users with only minimal training to run routine measurements. The tiles on main screen make important functions easily available while restricting access to instrument configuration and calibrations.

  • Island-mode: Routine analysis without external PC
  • Shortest training times sufficient to operate instrument
  • Glove-friendly touchscreen
  • Software available in nine different languages
    (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese)
  • Controlled access to spectrometer configuration ensures high instrument uptime and data integrity

SPECTRA.ELEMENTS Software Suite

SPECTRA.ELEMENTS is the powerful and intuitive spectrometer software for the S2 POLAR, the S2 PUMA Series 2 and the S6 JAGUAR. It provides a wide range of tools for full spectrometer control and was developed with the user in mind: Its integrated design avoids floating windows and its tab-based layout allows quick access to all functionality.

  • Dedicated User Levels for smooth operation, complaint with your data management strategy
  • Blanks, Duplicates, and Quality Checks can be setup for process and quality control
  • Evaluation Plug-In for re-evaluation of analysis results without re-measuring
  • Post-Processing tool for customized, automated data export

Applications

Cement & Building Materials

Cement as a binder in the building industry has been known for centuries, but today it is even more important than ever. Cement literally is the foundation of our modern infrastructure, as binder in brickwork and walls; as floor screed in buildings; and as concrete in bridges, tunnels, ports, and other civil engineering projects.

Minerals & Mining

The resource industry involves several steps from exploration to production. In many of them elemental concentrations of the commodities or of other indicative elements must be known. Sample types include rocks, drill-cores, raw ore, ore concentrates and soils, and quite often quick and accurate elemental analysis is required.

Geology & Geosciences

Geosciences are a wide field, where elemental compositions of various materials are often providing the necessary basis for the investigation of terrestrial and even extraterrestrial processes. Geology, hydrogeology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, ore geology and paleontology do all require information on elemental concentrations of their samples. EDXRF technology can help to acquire these data quickly and precisely.

Food, Feed & Agriculture

Food and animal fodder products require stringent quality control measures. They are applied from production to delivery and regulated by different authorities. EDXRF is a proven elemental analysis technique that is applied widely in the Food & Feed industry to make sure norms are followed and consumers are kept safe.

Metals & Slags

In metal production, such as in steel plants a wide range of process steps and products must be carefully monitored to ensure the complex and expensive production run smoothly. In a steel plant, information from electric arc furnaces (EAF), ladle metallurgy furnaces (LMF), and the baghouse may be gathered through samples analyzed from these stages; raw materials and final products must be checked for product quality purposes.
