Luminar 3060
Multiplxed AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
The Luminar 3060 is designed for multiplexed, multi‑point NIR measurements in heavy‑duty industrial and at‑line production environments. It supports up to 16 active channels, each connected to a probe or flow cell through fiber‑optic cable. Using AOTF‑based NIR technology, the system multiplexes a single spectrometer by rapidly switching the light source from each channel into the detector. This configuration allows all active channels to be sequentially analyzed in less than one minute, providing rapid, non‑destructive analysis across multiple points in a process.
The 3060 offers a cost‑effective solution when multiple test points are required. Choosing between the Luminar 4030 and the Luminar 3060 depends on the number of test points needed and the physical location of each point, as the required fiber‑optic cable length is a key factor in system design.
