FOX IQ

FOX-IQ Process & On-Line XRF Analyzer


Olympus Innov-X on-line Fox-IQ XRF analyzer for metal tube and rod manufacturing quality control.

The Fox-IQ provides customized and automated, continuous XRF measurements of Ca to U. It functions in a 24/7 operation for industrial process optimization, increased productivity & improved quality.

The FOX-IQ XRF system performs fully automated online analysis for 100% high-volume process control. X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a proven analytical technique commonly used to quickly and nondetructively verify alloy grade and chemistry. The FOX-IQ is a compact system that integrates easily with new or existing PLC-controlled processes. This CE-certified system is engineered for 24/7 operation in industrial environments - it can endure high levels of vibration, electromagnetic and acoustical noise, in addition to dust and moisture. The FOX-IQ's compact design and minimal power requirements provide quick and easy integration of both new and existing operations.

Each FOX-IQ delivers pass/fail tests, accurate grade ID, and chemistry with automated links to the QC/QA reporting system. The FOX-IQ is controlled by a PC for start/stop, data acquisition, decision making, and communication to external devices.

The FOX-IQ is driven by powerful and intuitive software that has been developed and custom designed specifically for the Tube/Pipe industry in cooperation with several market leaders. Features include multi-level access, automated retesting, extensive reporting, and an intuitive touch-screen interface.

The Olympus Innov-X FOX-IQ system consists of three major industry-hardened components:

Probe Head Assembly:

contains the X-ray tube, detector, and fron-end Digital Signal Processing electronics. The PHA can be precalibrated, and its modular design allows for swapping in minutes.

Electrical Interface Assembly:

supports an external sample trigger input, and provides a pass/fail indicator signal that can be used to trigger a "kicker" or other line equipment, such as a PLC, in order to accept or reject the sample based on the analysis result.

User Interface Computer:

runs the Olympus Innov-X PC software in order to control the instrument, analyze the sample, and mange the results and interface with external devices through RS485 or TCP/IP.
