Automation

Remove the variable that is hardest to control.

Manual preparation introduces differences no calibration can correct. Insmart builds automated and robotic preparation systems so the specimen reaching the instrument is produced the same way, every time.

  • Robotic preparation cells

    A robot handles the sample between preparation stations, so the sequence runs the same way on every shift.

  • Auto Combo systems

    Crushing, division, grinding and pressing combined into one integrated machine with a single control interface.

  • Analytical integration

    Prepared specimens are delivered to XRF, XRD or OES instruments with traceable sample identity.

Industries

Different materials. The same discipline.

Each industry brings its own material behaviour, sampling standard and analytical route. The system is configured around them.
