About Hioki
Hioki was founded in 1935 in Japan and has built its business around electrical measurement instruments for production lines, field service, and research laboratories. The company is headquartered in Ueda, Nagano, and sells through a global network of subsidiaries and distributors. Its product range has expanded from analog insulation testers into digital resistance meters, power analyzers, data loggers, and electrical safety testers.
The product lines most relevant to used equipment buyers are the resistance meters and insulation testers. The RM3545A, RM3544, and RM3543 resistance meters cover DC low-resistance testing with measurement speeds as fast as 2.0 ms, while the RM3542C handles chip resistor and chip ferrite bead production with 0.1 micro-ohm resolution. The RM3548-50 is a handheld high-precision resistance meter for EV, aircraft, and motor or transformer maintenance. Insulation testing is served by the IR4056 and IR4057-50 insulation testers and the discontinued analog 3490 three-range megohmmeter, which covers 250 V, 500 V, and 1000 V ranges with continuity check.
Hioki instruments are used in electronics manufacturing, EV and ESS battery module and pack production, automotive component testing, and electrical maintenance. The resistance meters support testing of motors, transformers, power relays, switches, connectors, busbars, fuses, and shunt resistors. Insulation testers and electrical safety testers are used for field insulation testing, hipot and withstand voltage testing, and production-line safety checks. The RM2610 electrode resistance measurement system is aimed at lithium-ion battery electrode research and development.
Buyers seek used Hioki meters because the instruments are known for stable measurement, fast cycle times, and durable field-ready construction. Many models remain in service for years, and accessories such as test leads and probes are widely available. For production engineers, a used Hioki milliohm meter or insulation tester can deliver laboratory-grade accuracy at a lower cost than new equipment, which keeps them attractive for maintenance, incoming inspection, and R&D labs.
