Description
Vulcan Expert is one of the fastest metals analyzers, featuring a sturdy construction. Users simply need to squeeze the trigger, and they can see the result a second later. The Vulcan utilizes Laser Induced Breakdown (LIBS) technology; therefore, users need not worry about X-rays.
The Vulcan provides accurate and reliable grade identification. This is true whether your business focuses on PMI quality control or scrap sorting.
Vulcan is an excellent tool for handling incoming material inspection, quality control, and verifying the material of finished parts. You are incredibly fast, which means you can check even large inventories extremely quickly. Vulcan can help you avoid material mix-ups. These mix-ups can lead to serious problems, like using the wrong materials in refineries and power plants.
Vulcan is an ergonomic, balanced laser analyser that fits easily into your hand. It is the lightest Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) tool in the world. Even when used for long periods, it feels comfortable and is easy to operate.
Vulcan is made for precision. It will give you accurate alloy identification every time. You can trust it to provide consistent service to your customers.
