Application Spectroscopy
The BEAM is the first dedicated single-point NIR spectrometer unleashing the full power of FT-NIR spectroscopy, taking in-process control to the next level. It helps you to get the most out of your production by directly monitoring on the scene in real-time, improving your process variability. Optimized for solid and semi-solid material, it can be easily installed on pipelines, hoppers or over conveyor belts.
Reliable Process Monitoring in Demanding ConditionsThe Bruker BEAM spectrometer is housed in an industrial-grade stainless steel body with an IP65 rating, offering complete protection against dust and water ingress. It operates smoothly in environments ranging from -10C to +50C and is optionally available for ATEX-rated hazardous zones, ensuring trustworthy operation across a wide range of industrial sectors.
Fully Automated Analysis with Seamless IntegrationEngineered for automation, the BEAM supports remote monitoring and can be panel- or wall-mounted for flexible deployment. Compatibility with process flow cells and probe options allows it to easily fit into existing processes, while high-speed capabilities deliver up to 48 measurements per second for true real-time analysis.
Advanced Chemometric Calibration and User-friendly SoftwareWith support for multi-method chemometric calibration-including PLS and PCR-the BEAM delivers exceptional analytical performance. All measurements and configurations are managed via the intuitive OPUS LAB & CMET process software suite, complemented by a digital display and status LEDs for immediate device feedback.
