Quality Control and Assurance are essential to making your business successful. The ARTUS 8 is the ideal companion for incoming material, in-process testing, independent laboratory testing and final quality inspection. it is widely used in the steel manufacturing, cookware, automotive, aluminium extrusion, cast iron and carbon steel industries.
Risks such as material mix-ups and machinery damage are reduced thanks to adapters which detect and analyse oddly shaped samples and small pieces and the optimisable grade library which visually displays non-compliance alloy specifications.
