Alternative in Switzerland
Hitachi X-MET8000 : A reliable portable spectrometer, but what about after-sales service?
The Hitachi X-MET8000 is a portable XRF tube analyzer known for its reliability in the analysis of metals and alloys: sorting metals in landfills, identifying alloys in industry, PMI, precious metals, regulatory compliance (ROHS, WEEE).
At YSPEKH, we offer the distribution, calibration and after-sales service of XRF instruments equivalent or superior to the Hitachi X-MET8000, with the advantage of fast and reliable service based in Switzerland (Vaud).
Hitachi X-MET8000: its features
A serious instrument, whose strengths deserve acknowledging before we discuss its limits.
-
Multi-material analysis: the X-MET8000 analyzes a broad range of materials (alloys, polymers, soils, wood, glass, oils…), from magnesium to uranium (Mg–U) in a few seconds.
-
Large-area SDD detector: paired with a 40 to 50 kV X-ray tube and, depending on the version, a 6-position filter wheel, it delivers high resolution and low detection limits.
-
Ergonomics and portability: compact (≈1.5 kg including battery) with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, and enough runtime to cover the working day thanks to the two batteries supplied.
Hitachi X-MET8000: an excellent device, but without local after-sales service?
While the Hitachi X-MET8000 looks like a good compromise on paper, its local availability in French-speaking Switzerland remains limited:
-
No direct distributor
-
After-sales service centralised abroad
-
Response times sometimes long
-
No personalised support
