XRF (O SERIES)- BOWMAN

Origin: America

Brand:

Category:

The O Series combines high performance and ultra-small x-ray spot size (80μm FWHM) using poly-capillary optics, which maximize x-ray flux for higher sensitivity and faster testing of small components or thin coatings. Unlike traditional collimators, this system retains nearly 100% of the tube flux, ensuring superior repeatability in shorter test times. It features a high-resolution SDD detector, 55x video magnification, 7x digital zoom, and a programmable X-Y stage. Due to its close focal distance, samples must be flat. Now available with an extended stage option for greater flexibility.

The Bowman L Series is a versatile XRF instrument with a large sample chamber (22″ x 24″ x 13″) and 10″ x 10″ X-Y stage travel. It accommodates large parts or multiple samples and includes a 4-position collimator assembly, variable focus camera, and programmable X-Y stage. The chamber Z-height is 10″ (or 13″ without the stage). It features an SDD detector and a long-life micro-focus X-ray tube.

The W Series Micro XRF from Bowman features a 7.5 µm FWHM X-ray beam, the smallest in the world for coating thickness analysis using XRF technology. This makes it ideal for measuring small components like BGAs and solder bumps. It includes a dual-camera system with 140X magnification for precision imaging and a secondary camera for live viewing. A programmable X-Y stage with ±1 µm accuracy, along with pattern recognition and auto-focus, enables precise measurements and automated multi-point analysis. The system also offers 3D mapping for coating topography visualization. Standard configurations include a molybdenum anode tube (with optional chromium or tungsten) and a high-resolution Silicon Drift Detector. The instrument can measure up to five coating layers simultaneously and operates with Archer software, which streamlines measurement, reporting, and application setup.

The G Series XRF is an ideal choice for laboratories and production lines, especially for users with limited workspace, budget constraints, or a preference for "bottom to top" operation with motorized Z-axis control. Designed to efficiently analyze small samples quickly and easily, this system offers flexibility and high performance in material inspection and evaluation.
