TOGETHER
2060
The NIR Analyzer
Analyze any sample with a
reliable inline process analyzer.
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic techniques are
characterized by their ability to gain rapid and accu-
rate information from the high resolution spectra
of solid, gas, and liquid samples without prior
sample preparation or chemical reagents. They are
economical and facilitate qualitative and quantita-
tive as well as noninvasive and nondestructive
analysis. For all these reasons, spectroscopic tech-
niques are ideally suited for industrial quality
control and process monitoring.

The 2060 The NIR Analyzer is the next generation of


process spectroscopy instruments from Metrohm
Process Analytics. It has been designed to ensure high
precision with maximum uptime. All steps from the
implementation of the 2060 The NIR Analyzer to
your process to the communication results to the
plant control system automatically have been thor-
oughly considered for a seamless process analyzer
experience.

Besides, the 2060 The NIR Analyzer has two embed-


ded cutting edge softwares to guarantee the best per-
formance of your process analyzer: the 2060 software
and the OMNIS software. While the 2060 software is
the interface to the user with all the capabilities for
smart programming and communication protocols to
the plant control room, the OMNIS software handles all
the data analysis acquisition and chemometrics. This
combination ensures that the 2060 The NIR Analyzer
is the perfect tool to support Process Analytical Tech-
nology (PAT).

Unique hardware for
industrial applications
Metrohm Process Analytics is known as a pioneer in
process analysis and one of the global process industry’s
preferred solution providers for monitoring key parame-
ters in largescale industrial manufacturing processes.
The 2060 The NIR Analyzer has some unique FULLY REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE
features for a NIR process analyzer. It is composed
of a Human Interface (HI) cabinet and a NIR anal- Thanks to the variety of process

trometer.  
WEATHER-PROOF

Robust and durable as stainless steel. The 2060


The NIR Analyzer can handle the most extreme
elements thanks to the stainless steel (SS316)
frames and cabinets. This process analyzer has an
ingress protection of 65 (IP65) and can operate
between 0 and 40 oC without the need to be
protected in a shelter.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

The 2060 The NIR Analyzer is designed for


24/7 operation and maximum uptime – thanks
to the built-in power buffer, short power
outages (below 60 seconds) do not disrupt
operation. In the event of longer power
outages, a controlled shutdown sequence is in
place so programs and data are always
protected.

READY TO INSTALL ANYWHERE

The 2060 The NIR Analyzer can be configured


inside of a holding frame which can be installed in
various ways: wall mounted, bolted on a table or
floor, and on wheels for a portable option.

CUSTOMIZABLE HUMAN INTERFACE
Options are limitless. The HI allows access not only to the analysis
results (tables, trend charts) but also to the diagnostic functions
on the analyzer as well as to the status of the programs. Addition-
ally, the HI was designed with a resistive touch screen such that
operators can use protective gloves while operating the touch
screen panel.

State-of-the-art
NIR Technology
High quality from the
inside out.
SPECTROMETER

The high throughput, state-of-the-art spectrometer is developed


and produced within the Metrohm group. Based on a Littrow
design, it incorporates a three-stage thermoelectrically (TE) cooled
low-noise InGaAs detector and robust optics.

The spectrometer compartment is temperature stabilized, ensuring


high precision and high reproducibility of measurements.

MULTIPLEXER (MUX)

Up to five sample channels can be measured with the Metrohm


multiplexer «NIR-MUX» . On top of a high optical throughput, the
2060 The NIR Analyzer was designed with a high resolution
encoder for excellent reproducibility and stability in channel
positioning.

Moreover, it is an analyzer built to last a lifetime. It was designed


for high durability and can ensure more than 300 million cycles.
No maintenance is needed as it has a wear-free design with no
moving parts. Additionally, performance checks and instrument
calibrations are always performed seamlessly on their dedicated
channel.

LIGHT SOURCE

We bring attention to every detail, even to the lamp. To ensure


long life of a critical component, we have custom-made the lamp
filament, specially designed the electronics, power supply, and
even the light source housing for enhanced stability. The light
source module has a NIST-traceable calibration unit which can
easily be recalibrated.

To facilitate preventive maintenance, the lamp is continuously


monitored by the software and indicates when to exchange before
it fails, thus maximizing instrument uptime. The bulb can be
exchanged via a plug-and-play module.

2060 SOFTWARE
PROCESS MONITORING TAKEN TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

«REAL-TIME» DATA

Knowledge is key, and the 2060 SW is ideal for superios process monitoring.
NIR data are collected and displayed in «real-time» on the HI. Operators can at
any moment have an overview of the NIR predictions for each of the
five channels, so they can be up to date at all times. 

TAILORED PROGRAMS

With 2060 SW, advanced programs can be tailor-made to perfectly match each
application. As each program is independent, 2060 SW can be programmed to
monitor multiple measuring points at the same time or control a sample
conditioning system (SCS). 

DATA INTEGRITY

Your data are safe with us. The 2060 SW has been designed to store NIR results
in an encrypted database. All collected data are fully traceable, preventing data
tampering. The power buffer and the controlled shutdown sequence prevent
data corruption, and the operating system is embedded, preventing user
accessibility as another layer of protection.

MULTILEVEL ACCESS

Different access levels can be configured to make even the routine user feel at
ease with the 2060 SW. Advanced users can have a deeper access to the
software and change/edit parameters.

CUSTOMIZABLE OPERATION SCREENS

2060 SW can be configured to show multiple operation screens. These screens


can be defined to control programs (start, stop, loop, cycles, status...) and to
display results in different formats (charts, histograms, tables...). Each user can
have their own operation screen defined based on their personal requirements.

ALARMS AND DIAGNOSTICS

Not only does the 2060 SW provide the results from the analysis, it also performs
health checks more commonly used on the whole system and proactively informs
operators of potential issues. Alarms are triggered if hardware faults are
detected, or analytical data are trending out of range.

Experience an analytical software
solution designed for the future!
Intuitive, easy-to-use, and intelligent. Graphical
representations of hardware components, drag-
and-drop functionality, and context-sensitive
operation make the workflow as easy and efficient
as possible. OMNIS is the software used to control
and perform the NIR analysis. The access to OMNIS
is reserved to advanced users.

EASIER

OMNIS has an intuitive and context-sensitive user


interface (UI). For instance, Metrohm developed an
all-new interface for model development and
prediction, making chemometrics easily accessible
to all users. Furthermore, the prediction models can
be seamlessly transferred from instrument to
instrument.
