Automated Material Analysis with the Vanta™ iX In-Line XRF Analyzer

The Evident Vanta™ iX in-line X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer automates material analysis and alloy identification on the manufacturing line, thus giving users confidence in their products.

Designed to work around the clock

Provides immediate results for live process monitoring and 100% inspection

Configured to provide pass or fail results, material chemistryand precise grade ID

100% Inspection for Metal Fabrication of Tubes, Bars, and Rods

For organizations that implement 24/7 process control and Industry 4.0 practices to validate alloys with pass or fail analyses, the Vanta iX analyzer allows material verification and lot/heat control for the tube, billet, rodand bar manufacturing, as well as tailored components and machined parts.

Automating the testing process with a Vanta iX analyzer adds a competitive edge to users’ finished product, asthey can show that their materials are fully tested and verified.

Scanning and Monitoring for Ore-Grade Control in Mining

The Vanta iX analyzer allows core scanning and on-belt analysis for geological processing and mining, with live outcomes to track process variability and guarantee the consistency of the ore grade. At the time of on-belt analysis, the Vanta iX analyzer offers process validation and blending verification of concentrates.

Fast and Accurate Elemental Analysis for Continuous Quality Control

Similar to all Vanta electronics, the Vanta iX analyzer works rapidly, while providing consistent and actionable outcomes to guide crucial decisions.

Fast, precise results—the electronics of the analyzers offer high throughput, count rateand stability

High resolution—identification of an array of alloy grades, such as heavy and light elements

Efficient—a silicon drift detector (SDD) and the well-established Axon Technology™ found in each Vanta analyzer

Connector options:

USB

AUX DC power

Ethernet (RJ-45), allowing Power over Ethernet

Discrete I/O (16 pins)

Rugged for Greater Uptime in Manufacturing Environments

The Vanta iX analyzer has been designed to resist dust, high levels of vibration, acoustical and electromagnetic noiseand moisture of production facilities for improved uptime and reliability.

IP54 rated

Vibration tested (MIL-STD)

Developed to operate from –10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) with constant testing

An integrated heat sink reduces the internal temperature, but fan attachment points are also provided if extra cooling is required. The Vanta iX analyzer enables tool-less window changes for quick maintenance.
