Getting coating thickness just right is essential to meet both financial and quality targets. If your coatings are too thick then your costs are too high and, given the volatile nature of some metals markets, it’s too easy to lose hard-won profits. On the other hand, if your coatings are too thin then components won’t perform or look as expected and you’ll end up with costly rework or customer complaints.

Hitachi’s range of benchtop XRF analyzers and electromagnetic thickness gauges (using magnetic induction, eddy current and microresistance) for coatings applications bring high performance, accuracy and reliability to a series of durable, hardworking instruments that help keep your production running and your product quality high.

Whether measuring complex coatings on minute electrical connectors, following IPC guidelines or verifying coating integrity on larger scale components, you’ll find a Hitachi instrument that slots seamlessly into your production.

We offer a range of stationary and mobile optical emission spectrometers (OES) for seamless quality control and metals analysis throughout the metals industry, from tramp element analysis in scrap metal, to incoming inspection, melt process control and quality control.

45 years’ experience | German-made | Arc/Spark | Ultimate OES analysis | No compromises

Thermal analysis and calorimetry are an essential part of today’s research and development and quality control for many industries, including polymer, pharmaceutical, food, electronics, ceramics and metals. Complex products for demanding applications mean that component materials need full characterization to ensure they meet specifications.

Our range of thermal analyzers have an unsurpassed level of baseline stability, world-class sensitivity and advanced capabilities to give you the complete picture of thermal behaviour. They are optimized to detect minute changes within a wide range of materials, whether you are measuring thermal expansion, thermal decomposition, specific heat capacity or determining the glass transition of polymers.

Ultimately, Hitachi thermal analysis instruments give you results you can trust, even in a development environment, with robust, sturdy analyzers that deliver the reliability you need to keep up and running.
