Software that Delivers Fast ROI
Innovative software features optimized for PMI and manufacturing maximize Vanta’s outstanding XRF capabilities.
Customizable Grade Libraries
Vanta XRF is pre-programmed with a large library of commercial alloys—from structural steels to pipeline materials to aerospace exotics to weld fillers—and enables easy customization to include proprietary alloy grades.
Visual Grade Comparison
With Vanta’s easy-to-read on-screen grade comparison, you can quickly compare close grades side-by-side to know which one is the best match and why.
Weld Analysis
Vanta Core’s optional collimator and aiming camera allow you to isolate the weld from surrounding material for more accurate analysis.
Data Sharing and Management
Compatible with ERP barcode scanning, Vanta enables fast data entry and reduces error. Test results and documentation are easily and automatically exported to a network folder, cloud server, or memory stick via Wi-Fi or USB. Customizable scripts can be loaded on Vanta analyzers to apply multi-criteria validation for advanced results management.
