Product catalog summary
Overview: The Lifumat-Met-series units are designed for preparing metallic samples with homogeneous composition for emission and X-Ray spectrometric analysis. They are applicable in alloy development and metal scrap recycling. The units feature a high-frequency generator and an induction melting and centrifugal casting unit, operable under air, vacuum, or vacuum with protective gas.
Specifications: The units operate with a high-frequency generator ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 MHz and output power options of 3.3, 6.6, 7.7, or 20 (30) kW. They support sample weights from 10 g to 2000 g, depending on the furnace type, and accommodate various sample disc sizes. Standard moulds range from 35 to 70 mm, with special moulds available from 8 to 250 mm.
Advantages:
  • Induction melting ensures high reproducibility and homogeneous element distribution.
  • Fast melting speeds and modern control systems.
  • Element loss prevention through vacuum and protective gas usage.
  • Capability to reach any desired casting temperature.
  • Robust tube generators for high RF-power transfer.
  • Centrifugal casting minimizes sealing issues and handling.
  • Minimal post-processing required.
  • Suitable for a wide range of metals, from low to high melting points.
  • Optimized crucible systems for diverse metals and alloys.
  • User-friendly 7" touch screen control and program storage.
  • Compact design with high energy efficiency and proven quality.
Options: Available options include circulation cooling units, pyrometers with various measuring ranges, and PC interfaces. Vacuum furnaces offer vacuum up to 5 x 10-4 mbar and protective gas overpressure up to 2.5 bar.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed dimensions and maximum casting weights for various models, such as Lifumat Met-3.3T, Lifumat Met-6.6T, and Lifumat Super, among others.
Controller SE-702: This universal device offers adaptable control functions, including interface modules (USB, Profinet, Profibus), 250 programs with 64 digital marks, 20 control zones, and a SCADA system for data logging.

Catalog excerpts

Lifumat-Met-series-1

Lifumat-Met-series The units are used for preparation of metallic samples with homogeneous composition for emission and X-Ray spectrometric analysis, for, e.g., alloy development as well as metal scrap recycling, ... They consist of a 0.8 -1.5 MHz high-frequency generator with an output power of 3.3, 6.6, 7.7 or 20 (30) kW together with an induction melting and centrifugal casting unit working under air respectively vacuum or vacuum with protective gas. Advantages: • Highest reproducibility due to induction melting. Eddy currents produce pondero-motoric forces (bath movement) which guarantee homogeneous distribution of elements within samples • High melting speed provided by induction melting and modern control system • Prevention of element losses by using vacuum and/or protective gas • Overheating up to any desired casting temperature is possible • High RF-power transfer is generated by robust tube generators to avoid matching difficulties and to enable safe re-melting of metals with high melting temperature • Centrifugal casting to avoid sealing problems and additional handling in comparison to vacuum pressure casting • Little post-processing (grinding of analysis side before spectrometer measurement) • Suitable for low melting metals such as lead up to high melting metals like titanium, platinum or ferro alloys • Sample weight depending on furnace type from 10 g up to 2000 g (e. g. Fe) • Suitable for different sample disc sizes • Suitable for production of calibration standards (cross-sectional samples) • Optimized crucible systems for a broad range of metals and alloys • Standard moulds from 35 - 70 mm (special moulds from 8 - 250 mm) in copper, graphite or stainless steel • 7“-Touch screen control and program storage for highest user friendliness • Service friendly circuit board technology • Documentation according to german QM-standard, CE compliant • Easy to handle, short cycle times • Little space requirement • High energy efficiency • High, proven quality (more then 5.000 units installed worlwide)

The new controller SE-702 is an universal device which can be optimally adapted to the required control functions. Analogue device functions, programmer, limit values etc. can be adapted directly to the device without external aids. An external graphic editor enables a system visualization for a good overview of the unit. There are several new possibilities if the controller SE-702 is used: • Interface modules: USB (optional Profinet, Profibus) • 250 programs with 64 digital marks • 20 control zones • SPS statement list with max. 1600 commands • SCADA system (Data logger...)
