A powerful combination: SciAps is a Malvern Panalytical company
Meet the SciAps Z-70: fast, precise metal sorting; economical handheld LIBS; minimal regulatory requirements.
The Z-70 is a rugged handheld air-burn LIBS designed specifically for material ID testing, bringing SciAps' industry-leading technologies into a pure sorting tool. It is designed for basic scrap sorting and metal fab shops that need an easy-to-use, point-and-shoot analyzer to identify hundreds of alloys by grade and chemistry. It delivers precise, fast alloy ID and chemistry at an economical price point.
Power it on, and in seconds you’re ready to start testing. No drift correction or calibration needed.
The powerful laser - about 40x more powerful than the micro-LIBS on the market - burns through surface contamination, oil, grease, anodization and even paint. Eliminate the guesswork for your operators.
Powerful laser: advanced spectrometer design for high resolution and wide range
Internal camera: precise targeting of analysis location, essential for turnings
Macro-camera: photo documentation of samples, reading barcodes and QR codes
Unique air pump: designed to keep analysis window clean for best results
Narrow snout: tapered for wields or difficult to access test locations
Laser safety sensor: patented sample sensor allows Class 1 operation subject to LSO approval
Intuitive Android operating system with app-based software
High resolution display: rear-facing display for easy viewing
Rugged metal body: maximum durability and minimal service costs
The Z-70 is the most versatile instrument in the LIBS sorting market. It provides great flexibility in an easy-to-use format by allowing you to enter custom grades and make adjustments for your testing needs.
The Z-70 can be calibrated for single base or multiple bases. Even if a base is not calibrated, the Z-70 can easily distinguish the base material without giving misleading results.
The SciAps Z-70 delivers a 6 mJ laser, nearly 50 times more powerful than any other material ID instrument available in the market. This improves test speed and performance in scrap yard environments where dirty samples often require grinding for micro LIBS material ID instruments.
Traditional material ID instruments use high repetition 150 μJ/pulse lasers that are too weak to properly clean dirty surfaces. This leads to wrong matches and extra time prepping the sample surface.
The Z-70 is designed for testing with real-world samples. An integrated air pump makes sure your window stays cleaner for longer and accurate data is being obtained.
Clean results, clear advantage.
The unique air pump filter in SciAps Z-70 effectively prevents unwanted dirt from entering the testing chamber, reducing the need to constantly clean the chamber.
The air pump disperses any residual dirt particles from the testing windows, the best solution for safeguarding against contaminated test results.
