Hitachi High-Technologies - Model EA-8000 -Raw Material Particle Contamination Analysis Equipment

The Hitachi High-Technologies EA8000 x-ray particle contaminant analyzer enables rapid detection and elemental identification of metal particles approximately 20um in diameter found in the electrode plates of fuel cells and lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Metal particle contamination in electrode materials, separators of fuel cells, and lithium ion rechargeable batteries can cause heat and fire or decrease batter capacity and lifetime. When the measurement parameters are set, the EA8000 automatically captures x-ray images, detects, and identifies metal particles enhancing the efficiency of failure analysis and testing.
