Hitachi Vulcan Smart: The Ultimate Laser Alloy Analyzer
The Hitachi Vulcan Smart is a state-of-the-art laser analyzer designed for finished parts material inspection, quality control, and material verification. It is the fastest tool available for analyzing metal alloys, ensuring that large inventory checks and quality assessments are completed quickly and accurately. By using Vulcan Smart, companies can avoid costly material mix-ups in critical applications such as refineries, power plants, and manufacturing industries.
How the Vulcan Smart Works
The Vulcan Smart uses Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology. A high-powered laser vaporizes the metal surface at nearly 10,000°C, producing plasma.
-The burn mark is barely visible, leaving less than one billionth of a gram of material consumed.
-This allows for analysis of even finished metal goods without compromising the surface.
-The results are precise, reliable, and fast, making it perfect for quality assurance and quality control.
Lightweight and Ergonomic Design
-Ergonomic and balanced for comfortable gripping.
-The lightest LIBS tool globally, allowing prolonged usage without fatigue.
-Designed for ease of use, ensuring minimal operator strain during extensive testing sessions.
Accuracy and Precision
Vulcan Smart is highly accurate and precise, capable of correctly identifying alloys in seconds. It is ideal for inspection professionals who demand reliability and repeatability in material verification.
-Additionally, Vulcan Smart can analyze a wide range of alloys:
-Standard unit: stainless steels, tool steels, low alloy steels, nickel alloys
-Optional upgrade: cobalt, copper, lead, tin, titanium, zinc
Advanced Data Management
Vulcan Smart simplifies data management with multiple options:
-OiConnect cloud service via Wi-Fi or smartphone
-USB transfer to computers or laptops
-Secure storage for analysis results
-Easy report creation for quality control and auditing purposes
