Automated Melee Testing (AMS2)

The second-generation automated screening device, AMS2, is designed to automatically feed, handle, and dispense small, polished diamonds in the 0.0033ct (0.9mm diameter) to 0.20ct (3.8mm diameter) size range.

Around 99% of colourless and near colourless stones will pass and require no further examination. The AMS2 will refer for further tests all synthetic diamond simulants, and less than 1% of natural diamonds. These referred stones can then be looked at on the DiamondView.

The AMS2 instrument measures approximately 315mm (w) x 400mm (d) x 550mm (h). The machine can be located in any type of environmentally controlled facility. The instrument has a fully embedded system; no external PC is required.
