AlloyChecker comes with a plethora of new possibilities so you can cover more applications, do more analyses, and save lots of time and money.
AlloyChecker is a handheld laser spectrometer for various applications in the metal industries. It is a light handheld device for extremely fast alloy identification (PMI). With a weight below one kilogram and around 1200 grams including battery, the unit is super-light and a pleasure to work with for long hours.
Typically the instrument is used for metal sorting and positive material identification (PMI). The portfolio of available calibrations range from ferrous matrices to aluminium and zinc alloys.
AlloyChecker is light and fast testing tool and your best choice when you need proper results, identify tricky materials, require rapid results to complete a high number of measurements in no time.
The instrument features a main unit with a 4″ touch screen controller, integrated Li-ion battery, laser source, and electronics. The probe head has a safety switch and LEDs below the display indicate when the laser is on.
The grade library can be edited via Wifi from your local PC. Various QuantoLux online services are also available to fuel the instrument for best fit in your application. A set calibration functions make it adjustable for special apps.

AlloyChecker follows a unique design concept. It unites the benefits of small handheld devices – like the X-ray guns (XRF) – and optical emission spectrometry (OES). At the same time it avoids the pitfalls and limitations.
In detail this means:
Very performant software with user-friendly touch-screen interface.
All functions are intuitively usable and only few taps away.
Matching grade IDs will be clearly displayed in within one second and the library can be maintained via Wifi from desktop computer or laptop.
Testing results, but also grade library can be transferred to computer via weblink.
A battery-operated Bluetooth printer easily prints results.
AlloyChecker features latest technologies in excitation, detection and digital concept.
AlloyChecker uses a laser to excite the sample and generate a plasma. We call this laser-OES, but the technology is also referred to as “LIBS”.
It offers some distinct advantages:
Currently the below listed applications are available for AlloyChecker.
