Hitachi Vulcan Expert Handheld Laser Spectrometer Introduction

Product Overview

The Hitachi Vulcan Expert is a handheld alloy analyzer based on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology, specifically designed for rapid and precise metal composition analysis. This device can complete metal grade identification within 1 second with zero X-ray radiation risk, making it particularly suitable for scrap sorting, Positive Material Identification (PMI), and quality control applications.

Core Technical Features

1. Ultra-Fast Analysis Performance

• Utilizes advanced LIBS technology - simply pull the trigger to obtain elemental composition and grade information for common metals (stainless steel, aluminum alloys like 6061/7075, nickel alloys, etc.) in 1 second
• Delivers ppm-level detection accuracy, significantly outperforming traditional chemical analysis methods
• Specially optimized for aluminum alloy industry, accurately measuring key elements (Mg, Si, Cu) to prevent grade misidentification

2. Industrial-Grade Durability

• Certified with IP54 rating (dust/water splash resistant) and MIL-STD-810G military standard
• Operational temperature range: -10°C to 50°C, suitable for harsh industrial environments
• Sapphire glass-protected optical fiber for superior impact resistance
• 8-10 hours battery life supports continuous all-day operation

3. Intelligent Data Management

• Built-in Wi-Fi with OiConnect cloud platform for real-time data transfer
• Generates PDF/CSV reports with photo insertion and instant sharing capabilities
• Preloaded with 1,500+ alloy grade database (covering AISI, DIN, GB and other international standards)
• Supports custom database expansion

Key Applications

• Quality Control (QA/QC): Production line inspection, raw material verification (5x efficiency improvement)
• Scrap Metal Sorting: Precise identification of high-value aluminum scrap (e.g. silicon-containing cast aluminum) for profit maximization
• Advanced Manufacturing: Precise composition control for aluminum alloy melting in aerospace and automotive industries

Competitive Advantages

• Radiation-free: Eliminates costly radiation safety training required for XRF spectrometers
• Intuitive operation: "Point-and-shoot" interface enables new operators to become proficient with just 2 hours of training

The Hitachi Vulcan Expert has become an industry benchmark in metal material testing, combining lightning-fast analysis, rugged industrial design, and smart data management to provide powerful technical support for industrial smart manufacturing and circular economy development.
