Technology OES
(Optical Emission Spectroscopy Technology)



Hitachi’s mobile and stationary Optical Emission Spectroscopy
systems provide reliable results for measuring elements across a
wide range of metals, helping industries control quality and
optimize production times.



High precision

Detects critical elements, trace elements,
and residual elements in a wide
range of metals.

Versatility

Ideal for metal analysis, from
scrap sorting to melt process
control and quality control.

Fast analysis

Element measurement with
extremely short start-up and
measurement times.

Wide spectral range

Capable of analyzing nearly all
elements of interest, including
nitrogen in steel.

Integrated database

Alloy grade database for accurate
reference during material analysis.

Robust and reliable design

Long-term stability and the ability
to operate in demanding
industrial conditions.



Technology LIBS
(Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)



Hitachi’s Vulcan+ analyzer uses Laser-Induced Breakdown
Spectroscopy, or LIBS, to perform fast and accurate metal
analysis, delivering near-instant results with a
simple trigger pull.




Fast, accurate
analysis:

Results in less than one second
with direct measurement.

Laser technology:

Does not require X-ray radiation
handling or costly X-ray safety training.

Portable and
easy to use:

On-site metal analysis wherever
it is needed.

Robust design:

IP54, NEMA 3, and MIL-STD-810G certifications
ensure resistance in demanding
industrial conditions.

Intuitive interface:

Point-and-shoot design that helps
minimize user-related errors.



Technology XRF
(X-Ray Fluorescence)



Hitachi’s portable X-MET8000 analyzers use X-Ray Fluorescence,
or XRF, to perform fast analysis across a wide range of materials.
They are ideal for alloy identification and chemical
material analysis applications




Accurate light element analysis

Ideal for measuring elements such as magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and others, with low detection limits.

Versatility

Capable of analyzing a wide variety of materials, from solid metals to powders, solutions, minerals, and even wood.

Easy to use

Large touchscreen and icon-based user interface, helping reduce the need for extensive training.

Rugged construction

IP54 certification for resistance to water splashes and dust, with MIL-STD-810G compliance for durability in demanding industrial conditions.

Portability

Lightweight and compact, ideal for long periods of analysis with minimal fatigue.
