Hand-held laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer, the Katana, enables durable and accurate alloy identification for use in scrap metal sorting, quality assurance in metal fabrication, and positive material identification in petrochemical operations. The device was engineered to improve analysis and usability. The analyzer provides an alternative for more accurate identification of a larger number of alloys, in a ruggedized form factor.
Designed for on-the-spot identification of the most difficult alloys, including aluminum grades, the instrument has powerful analytical capabilities, offering results with specialized software in less than two seconds – at the touch of a button. It has an IP 54 rating, protecting against dusty and harsh work environments encountered in scrap recycling yards. The compact unit has an extended battery life. Designed for be robust and less susceptible to fatigue and downtime, which is critical for on and off-site operations. Furthermore, the GPS and macro-camera allow for instrument and sample tracking.
