ARUN Technology
-- MetalScan
Limited update
2006 has been an
eventful year at
ARUN Technology.
In March 2006
the business was
acquired from Ametek Inc., who
had bought
Solartron
Analytical and
also ARUN from
the Roxboro
group. A new
company, MetalScan
Limited was
formed by the
ARUN management
specifically to
arrange a
management
buyout of the
ARUN Technology
assets and
business. At the
same time the
office and
factory was
moved to a new
location in
Crawley, south
of London.
Located in the Brunel Centre in
Newton Road the
new premises
remind us of the
great British
engineers and
scientists that
have preceded
us; a hard set
of acts to
follow, but all
the staff are
determined that
ARUN will
continue as one
of the market
leaders in the
worldwide
business of
metals analysis.
The formation of
the new company
also made it
possible to
gather together
some previous
members of the
development team
that had worked
for Hilger
Analytical in
the 1990s. That
well respected
and long
established UK
business was
acquired by
Thermo Electron
in 1994 and then
closed in 1998.
MetalScan
Limited trading
as ARUN
Technology now
has the
advantage of a
core of
production,
applications and
service
personnel who
have spent many
years with ARUN
Technology on CCD based
instruments,
plus a sales,
marketing and
development team
from Hilger with
long-time
experience in
PMT based
optical emission
spectroscopy, as
well as CCD
optics. In
addition,
members of our
team have spent
time with
Spectro
Analytical, ARL
and Thermo
Electron as well
as with
industrial users
of analytical
instruments. The
whole team
represents more
than two hundred
years of
relevant optical
emission
spectroscopy
experience.
The increased
development
effort has
already borne
fruit with new
products
recently
announced. For
the last five
years the MetalScan M2500
series has been
the instrument
of choice for
first time users
of metals
analysers. So,
as well as
improving these
entry level
instruments,
ARUN Technology
has introduced
the PolySpek
series of
desktop
analysers for
more demanding
users, which
offer improved
performance,
extended
wavelength
range, and more
extensive
software. Both
series of
instruments can
now operate with
a standard
external PC
using a USB
connection. The
PolySpek comes
in a variety of
models for
ferrous and
non-ferrous
metals or multi
base
applications. No
matter what
materials you
want to analyse
and whether you
are a first time
user or you are
replacing an
older
spectrometer,
ARUN Technology
now has an
instrument to
suit your
application.
As a small but
independent
company, not
tied to any of
the large US
companies, which
incidentally all
seem to be
intent in taking
over the world, ARUN Technology
offers
flexibility,
relevant
experience and a
commitment to
developing cost
effective
solutions to the
analytical
problems of the
metals industry
worldwide. We
are happy to
work with users,
to develop new
calibrations,
new analysis
techniques and
software
features.
