B Series xrf

The B Series represents the most basic top-down measurement configuration that Bowman offers. The sample stage is a fixed base plate, requiring operators to manually position parts in the desired area for testing. This is accomplished by placing parts into the chamber and using the live video image to align the desired location within the crosshairs on the screen. The sample chamber is the same as the P Series, with the slotted configuration, but without the programmable X-Y sample stage.

The standard configuration includes a single fixed collimator, and the camera has a fixed focal distance. The solid-state PIN detector is included along with our long-life micro-focus x-ray tube. As with all Bowman models, the components can be upgraded to include multiple collimators, variable focal camera, or SDD detector.
