SMALL DESIGN. BIG ON PERFORMANCE.
The MERLIN 4 is a mid-range CMOS spectrometer available as a dedicated single-base unit as well as a versatile multi-base system. It is well suited for the metal production and inspection & contract lab and marine industries and perfectly suited for the metal processing industry. It is available in 2 models: the MERLIN 4 Ultra and MERLIN 4 Visible. The MERLIN 4 Ultra covers a range of 175-521 nm and the MERLIN 4 Visible: 201-521 nm. Most calibration elements are covered.
Quality Control and Assurance are essential to making your business successful. The MERLIN 4 is the ideal companion for incoming material, in-process testing and final quality inspection.
The MERLIN 4 supports all metal types with the analyses of all their elements, in higher concentrations as well as the relevant traces. The range of factory calibrations is comprehensive with a wide choice of analytical programs for all applications and their alloys that include:
- Iron & steel
- Cast iron
- Aluminium
- Copper
- Magnesium
- Nickel
- Lead
- Tin
- Cobalt
- Titanium

Software
It is not only the optical resolution that determines the analytical power of the instrument. ARUN’s bespoke software package has a powerful spectrometric hub as well as all the needed added features that help in daily routine work and make the use of the instrument efficient and a pleasure to operate.
Features include:
- Foreign language menu capability
- Factory calibrated programs traceable to CRMs
- Automatic average calculation
- Display of single or multiple analysis
- Display of mean, standard or relative standard deviation
- User configurable results screen
- Formula editor (Carbon Equivalent, Total Trace, etc…)
- Quality control and identification functions
- User defined export functions
- User configurable grade library
- Report generator, print or PDF output, selection by sample ID field content
- User standardization for global or individual program
- User configurable type standardisation
Key Features
Large Spark Plate
The plates’ corrosion resistant surface and heat dissipation composition ensures 24 hours of un-interrupted and stable analysis.
One-Button Stop Activation
In the event of mis-operation, work can be stopped immediately to ensure the safety of personnel and the instrumet.
Efficient Optical and Self-Purification
The sealed environment of the MERLIN 4 optical system maintains constant pressure and temperature settings and is self-purified. This means no argon gas is consumed. The purifier absorbs both H2O and O2. The H2O does not require replacing.
