• The debris specimen is transferred from either the magnetic drain plug or oil filter to the specially designed multi-specimen holder.
• The system automatically initialises, calibrates and moves to the first specimen.
• Wear debris particles are automatically detected and their positions together with morphological characteristics stored.
• Each particle is analysed using the integral X-ray analyser and its chemical composition classified and stored.
• All particles, their physical properties and compositions are stored in a database for the specific engine from which they originated.
• Trend analysis may be performed at any time from the archived results for any given engine, followed by a diagnostic risk assessment associated with the types and quantities of debris detected.

The five major components of the JetSCAN® are: A ZEISS multi-purpose SEM An integral backscattered electron detector Fully integrated image analysis software High-performance liquid nitrogen free X-ray detector operating at room temperature Single control application with diagnostic and trending facilities

 All of these components work collectively within the single control application for wear debris analysis, giving optimal speed, reliability and accuracy.
