Dimensional Analyzers
Better than traditional methods.
Leave messy and inaccurate traditional methods behind.
Invest in an instrument that’s versatile enough to meet current and unknown future needs.
Save laboratory time by measuring many different things at once.
Improve accuracy of results with automatically calculated measurements.
Features
The Stable Micro Systems, Ltd Difference
Benchtop-suitable. No contact required. Operator independent.
Laser-based Scanner.
No contact required
Laser is eye-safe.
Scans product vertically to measure contours
No repeated calibration necessary.
Accommodates multi-product, sliced product and non-uniform product testing.
Safer & more accurate than traditional methods in the food industry and much more safe than the mercury methods used in the ceramics industry.
Data
Rapid collection. Powerful visualization.
3D and 2D data. View and rotate 3D views of test data. View 2D sectional “slices” of test data.
Beautiful reports. Easy to visualize and report data. Tests are saved for future reference. Make great presentations.
Built to share. Easy to export and email data.
Precise. Each slice interval has 400 data points. You can define distance between slice intervals.
Fast. Typical test time is less than a minute but varies based on level of detail desired.
Operator Controls
As unique as your product
Adjust rotation speed. Use slower speeds for heavy or delicate samples that might be distorted, fragmented or wobbled by the centrifugal force. Use faster speeds for quick scans.
Measure at customizable intervals.
Enter parameters for each batch (sample ID name, date).
“The TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer is one of our lab workhorse. I absolutely enjoy working with the team (especially Jeanne Held) at Texture Technologies Corp and appreciate them going above and beyond in the care and responsiveness they provide whenever I need guidance in method development and equipment troubleshooting.”
Leverage objective quantifiable data to make product development and production processes better.
R+D
Determine the effects of ingredients, formulation and processing variables on end product dimensions. Compare your product with competitive products.
Production Line
Integrate into production lines to identify source and batch variation. Substantiate product claims. Assess dimensional changes during storage or transportation.
Q/C and Q/A
Determine the dimensional properties of your ‘gold standard’ product for future consistent quality control
How it works
400 data points in less than a minute.
Mount product
Set parameters
Vertical scans taken with eye-safe laser while product is rotated
Dimensional Analysis Accessories
Calibration & Verification Rod
Verifies correct measurement values by comparing the rod with measurement values provided by the operator.
Universal Product Support
A 100mm-diameter base and suite of pins, spikes and skewers of various widths and lengths.
Disposable Sample Platforms
Adhere samples to the platform and allow for quick removal and replacement between tests. Located via a magnet. Provided in batches of 50 (reusable).
External Precision Balance
For samples that are light and require more precise weight measurement. Connect to your PC.
Hair Tress Rig
For testing hair tress volume. The Volscan Profiler rotates the sample at a chosen speed and maps the contours of the splayed hair tress.
Curl Retention Testing
A custom-made attachment for the Volscan Profiler to test curl retention in challenging conditions.
Cereals & Grains Association Approved Standard Method
A continuous development and improvement process which applies to all our products.
