Z-70
The Z-70 is a rugged handheld air-burn LIBS designed specifically for material ID testing. This new device brings the same industry leading technologies SciAps customers love into a pure sorting tool. The Z-70 is the easiest to use LIBS in the SciAps portfolio for material ID.
The Z-70 uses a 6 mJ/pulse laser which is the most powerful in the LIBS sorting market. 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. Any time gained in testing versus XRF is lost in sample preparation and bad data. The Z-70 is designed for testing with real world samples. An integrated air pump make sure your window stays cleaner for longer and accurate data is being obtained.
The Z-70 is also the most versatile instrument in the LIBS sorting market. It provides great flexibility in an easy to use format by allowing users to enter in their own grades and make adjustments that meet 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.

Clean Results, Clear Advantage
The unique air pump design in the SciAps Z-70 provides the best solution for safeguarding against contaminated test results. The air pump disperses any residual dirt particles from the testing windows, thereby guaranteeing accurate results and minimizing the necessity for frequent cleaning.
Precision, Versatility, and Reliability
The Z-70 has an internal camera for precise targeting of analysis locations, essential for turnings; a macro camera for photo-documentation of samples, and for reading bar codes and QR codes; a patented 'sample sensor' ensuring Class 1 operation; an intuitive Android operating system offering user-friendly navigation; a high-resolution rear-facing display; rugged metal body; a narrow snout for welds or difficult-to-access test locations; and an air pump that keeps the analysis window clean for best results.
Redefining Power
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.
Keep unwanted dirt out
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.
