Olympus DELTA DS-6000 Handheld XRF Analyzer
The Olympus DS-6000 is the DELTA Standard model in the Olympus formerly Innov-X DELTA line of handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers. The DELTA Olympus DS-6000 range was designed as a fully ruggedized industrial analyzer with no PDA or movable display to damage and it gives fast non destructive elemental analysis for metal sorting alloy QA/QC environmental screening, mining, and consumer product testing. The Standard sits in the middle of the range between the Classic and Premium models.
Key Features
- Non-destructive elemental analysis: measures concentrations from magnesium to uranium depending on the mode and configuration
- Industrial grade rugged design: built to withstand harsh environments with an integrated display and no separate PDA
- Hot-swappable battery: replace the battery without restarting the analyzer to keep working through the shift
- Auto-calibrating docking station: charges the analyzer battery and a spare and periodically runs a calibration check so the analyzer is always ready
- Multiple analysis modes: the DELTA line offers modes for alloys, soils, mining, and consumer goods such as Alloy Plus, Soil, and Mining Plus
- Optional integrated camera: a high resolution CMOS camera captures sample images at full or half VGA which are stored with the results and added to test certificate reports
- Optional small-spot collimation: focuses the X-ray beam for analyzing small areas (about 3 mm) with the standard bulk spot (about 10 mm) available at the push of a button
- Data handling: results stored on the instrument with USB (and on some versions Bluetooth) transfer to a PC
- Upgradable: upgrade and trade in programs were offered across the DELTA range
Typical Applications
- Metal sorting and positive material identification
- Alloy QA/QC in fabrication and incoming inspection
- Scrap and recycling sorting
- Soil and environmental contamination screening
- Mining and geochemical exploration
- Toxic metals screening in consumer goods
