Rigaku Analytical Devices, Wilmington, Massachusetts, plans to showcase its Rigaku KT-100S hand-held laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer for metal alloy analysis in the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) Spark Showroom, available Sept. 21 to March 15, 2021.

According to a news release from Rigaku, the Rigaku KT-100S LIBS metal analyzer provides on-the-spot identification of difficult alloys, including aluminum grades, with lower detection limits and the ability to analyze more alloys than traditional hand-held identification methods. This includes upgraded precision for low alloy steels, stainless steels, as well as high-temperature alloys and the added detection of lithium.

In addition, the KT-100S analyzer offers auto surface preparation with its Drill-Down feature, and it is smaller and lighter than other hand-held LIBS analyzers currently available, Rigaku says. Another major benefit to the user is that, because the KT Series of hand-held LIBS analyzers use a laser excitation source, minimal to no regulatory licensing is required.

Rigaku says the KT-100S hand-held LIBS analyzer is designed to be the ideal analytical tool for use in fabrication shops, plant environments and scrap metal yards, as evident by its MIL-STD 810G drop-test certification and IP-54 dust protection rating. Manufacturers can provide on-site certification of verification of outgoing material, as well as confirm or reestablish chain of custody of mislabeled components.

Rigaku says its U.S. distribution partner, Metals Analysis Group (MAG), will include a special offer for IMTS Spark visitors on orders placed within the U.S. before Dec. 31.
