Like the VR-H5, it offers versatile data output options (USB, Bluetooth, WIFI) and can be connected to the internet for remote settings and maintenance.
Technical Solution: This model also employs an imported high-performance Si-PIN detector and a powerful X-ray tube (50KV/200μA, 4W max excitation power) with a tungsten target, capable of analyzing elements from Mg to U. The larger screen and integrated camera enhance its utility for various applications requiring more visual detail during metal analysis.
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Technology: All VRAY X-Ray Guns operate on the principle of XRF, providing non-destructive elemental analysis by exciting atoms with primary X-rays and analyzing the unique fluorescent X-rays emitted in return.
High-Performance Detectors: VRAY primarily uses Si-Pin detectors (e.g., VR-H5, VR-M5) optimized for high resolution, speed, and accuracy in detecting various elements from Magnesium to Uranium. Some high-end precious metal specific models may feature SDD (Silicon Drift Detector) technology for even superior resolution.
Robust X-ray Tubes: Equipped with durable X-ray tubes (typically up to 50KV/200μA) with adjustable power and tungsten targets, ensuring efficient excitation of elements for comprehensive analysis.
Advanced Algorithms: VRAY's software incorporates advanced algorithms, such as the Super-FP algorithm and correction curve methods, which improve measurement speed, accuracy, and consistency across different sample matrices.
User-Friendly Interfaces: All X-Ray Guns feature intuitive, often touchscreen-based, interfaces that simplify operation, requiring minimal user training.
Comprehensive Data Management: Devices include ample internal storage, with options for data export via USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi, allowing for seamless integration into existing data systems and customized report generation.
Safety Features: Built-in radiation protection (e.g., automatic cut-off), safety interlocks, and radiation indicator lights ensure operator safety during use.
VRAY's X-Ray Guns for Metal Analyzer are engineered for precision, portability, and user convenience, making them ideal solutions for a wide range of metal analysis and material verification tasks.
X-Ray Guns for Metal Analyzer are incredibly versatile handheld XRF analyzers, delivering rapid, non-destructive elemental analysis directly on-site. Their portability and speed make them invaluable across numerous applications:
Positive Material Identification (PMI): Essential in industries like oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing for verifying alloy grades in critical components, preventing costly material mix-ups, and ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
Scrap Metal Sorting & Recycling: Rapidly identifies and sorts various metal alloys (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass) from mixed scrap, maximizing recovery value and ensuring accurate material segregation for recycling.
Mining & Geological Exploration: Geologists and prospectors use these portable XRF analyzers for quick, on-site analysis of ore, soil, and rock samples. This aids in identifying mineral deposits, grading ore bodies, and making immediate decisions about exploration or excavation.
Manufacturing Quality Control (QC): Used throughout the manufacturing process, from incoming raw material inspection to final product verification. Ensures correct alloy composition, identifies contaminants, and verifies coatings, maintaining product integrity and quality standards.
Forensics & Art Authentication: Law enforcement uses X-Ray Guns for rapid analysis of metal evidence at crime scenes. Art conservators and authenticators employ them to non-destructively determine the elemental composition of metal artifacts, sculptures, and historical objects.
Environmental Compliance & Site Remediation: Rapidly screens soil and water samples for heavy metal contamination on-site. This helps delineate contaminated areas, monitor remediation efforts, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
X-Ray Guns for Metal Analyzer offer numerous benefits making them indispensable tools.
Non-Destructive Testing: They analyze metal composition without damaging the sample, crucial for valuable items, finished products, or historical artifacts.
Speed and Efficiency: Provide instant, real-time results in seconds, enabling rapid material identification, sorting, and quality control on-site. This significantly boosts productivity.
Portability and On-Site Analysis: Being handheld and lightweight (e.g., VRAY VR-H5 at 1.6kg), they allow analysis directly at the point of need (e.g., scrap yards, mining sites, manufacturing lines), eliminating the need to transport samples to a lab.
High Accuracy and Precision: Modern XRF guns deliver laboratory-quality results for elemental identification and quantification, ensuring reliable data for critical decisions.
User-Friendly Operation: Designed with intuitive interfaces, they require minimal training, making them accessible to a wide range of users for efficient operation.
Versatility: Capable of analyzing a broad spectrum of elements from Magnesium to Uranium, identifying various alloys, and verifying material grades across diverse industries.
Operating an X-Ray Gun for Metal Analyzer is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and safety. Here's a concise guide:
Preparation: Power on the XRF gun and allow it to complete its self-diagnostics. Ensure batteries are charged (e.g., VRAY VR-H5 offers 8-hour life). Gently clean the sample surface to remove any dirt or residue that could affect accuracy.
Safety First: Always adhere strictly to safety protocols. Point the analysis window away from yourself and others. Ensure the sample is properly positioned before initiating any test to prevent X-ray exposure.
Sample Placement: Firmly place the metal sample directly against the XRF gun's measurement window, ensuring full contact. For irregularly shaped items, find a flat area that covers the window.
Select Test Mode: Use the touchscreen (e.g., VR-H5's 4.3" screen) to select the appropriate analysis mode, such as "Alloy ID," "Precious Metals," or a specific material type.
Initiate Analysis: Pull the trigger or press the "Analyze" button. Hold the XRF gun steady against the sample until the test completes (typically within 30 seconds for rapid results).
Interpret Results: The elemental composition and alloy identification will instantly display on the screen. Review the data, save it to the internal memory (e.g., 32GB on VR-H5), and export via USB or Bluetooth if needed.
