Oxford Instruments Vulcan LIBS Laser Metals Analyzer Alloys

This is Vulcan

Vulcan is an excellent tool for handling incoming inspection and quality control as well as material verification of finished parts. It's very fast, which means you can even check a lot of stock very quickly. As a result, Vulcan can help you avoid material mixing that can have serious consequences, such as the use of the wrong material in components in oil refineries and power plants.

The Vulcan is an ergonomically balanced laser analyzer that fits easily in your hand. It's the world's lightest Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) tool, so it feels comfortable and easy to handle even with prolonged use.

Designed for precision, Vulcan provides accurate alloy identification every time, making it a tool you can rely on to provide consistent service to your customers.

Managing the data it produces is also a much easier task. Securely transmit and store all your results and use the most advanced reporting tools on the market. Simply connect the Vulcan to the OiConnect cloud service using Wi-Fi or a smartphone, or use a USB stick to download the results to a computer or laptop. The Vulcan is also the simplest analyzer on the market. This means that not only is it faster and easier to learn how to use, but crucially, ease of use greatly reduces or completely eliminates user errors. Therefore, the results you get will be more accurate and consistent.

You can rely on Vulcan to get the job done quickly and easily, increasing your productivity.

Vulcan offers great value for money and guarantees a real return on your investment. Here are a few compelling reasons to switch from using XRF tools to buying the best laser analyzers on the market:

more accurate, precise and consistent

The type of work you do requires accuracy, precision, and consistency in results. Vulcan provides services on all three fronts. This laser analyzer is designed for high performance, ensuring very high accuracy and precision in its analysis results.

For example, when you use the Vulcan to analyze aluminum, it not only provides commercial grade aluminum, it also provides accurate chemical composition. By making Vulcan easy to operate, we have greatly reduced, if not nearly eliminated, user error, so the results you get from your analysis will be reliable and consistent.

Advanced Data Management

Creating reports for your clients based on your analysis and compiling data for quality control are important aspects of your daily work. Vulcan uses the most advanced reporting tools on the market, you can connect to the OiConnect cloud service via Wi-Fi and store your results and reports securely, or use a USB stick to download results to a computer or laptop. No matter your preferences, no matter where you are, you can manage your data quickly, easily and securely.

Significantly increase productivity

Because Vulcan is so fast, you'll save time and increase productivity in no time. Even a few seconds of speed difference can make a huge difference. For example, even if your current XRF tool produces results in three seconds, switching to Vulcan will allow you to process double the number of analyses per day. That kind of speed can make all the difference for a large inventory to be inspected.

Analyze a wider range of alloys

With Vulcan, you can identify and analyze a wider range of alloys. It gives results for all common alloys, including aluminum, magnesium, titanium, cobalt, chromium, nickel, and copper alloys, as well as stainless, tool, and low-alloy steels.

Vulcan offers an unrivaled range of analysis - you can use it to identify all common alloy types, both heavy and light. Many similar products can only analyze and identify light alloys such as aluminum, magnesium and titanium alloys.

work almost invisible

The Vulcan uses a high power laser that can be focused on a very small surface area. It vaporizes the metal being analyzed to about 10,000 degrees Celsius, producing a plasma containing all of the metal's elements.

It leaves a barely visible burn mark on the metal surface that looks like a tiny scratch that is barely visible to the naked eye. During a typical analysis, less than a billionth of a gram of material is consumed. Because it's virtually invisible, you can use the Vulcan to analyze finished metal for quality assurance and quality control purposes, which means you can get 100% inspection fast and easy.

Much lower cost of ownership

XRF analyzers require more stringent training licenses and certifications, which require more money and time than laser analyzers. Since the Vulcan is a laser tool, employees do not need to take expensive and time-consuming radiation courses.

Not only will it be faster and easier for your team to get started with Vulcan, but you'll also benefit from substantial cost and time savings from the required training and certification.

Proven and Trustworthy

Vulcan delivers outstanding performance and results. Its proprietary core components (spectrometer and laser) are manufactured in-house by Oxford Instruments, carefully developed and rigorously tested. This is a brand new second generation instrument built by the most experienced team in the handheld LIBS market.

durable

Vulcan laser tools are rugged and designed for use in the harshest environments. In addition to being splash and dust resistant (IP54 certified), the measuring window is protected by a solid sapphire glass.

Vulcan has been tested to perfection, but if anything goes wrong, you're still covered. The tool offers an extended warranty and service plan that covers maintenance and support, giving you peace of mind with no unexpected charges.

Faster than your current XRF tools

Vulcan is the fastest tool in the world for analyzing metal alloys. It is faster than any XRF analyzer or any other laser product on the market. Identifying and analyzing aluminum alloys using XRF analyzers typically takes 5 to 15 seconds or more. Vulcan does it in a second.

Comfortable and practical to use

The Vulcan is ergonomic, balanced and easy to hold in the hand, which is important for analyzing large batches with hours of daily use. It can run all day on a single battery, so you don't need to stop working to recharge.

The Vulcan's screen is very easy to read and uses state-of-the-art technology to make it legible in direct sunlight. The analyzer nose is also easy to clean and does not require any special tools.
