Leverage objective quantifiable data to make product development and production processes better.
R+D
Precisely quantify the impact of changes in formulation, processing, packaging, storage and transportation.
Production Line
Integrate texture testing to identify and control source and batch variation. Improve processes based on measurements taken during key stages of production.
Q/C and Q/A
Establish your 'gold standard' product for quality control and for co-packers or co-manufacturing suppliers.
How it works
Simple mechanics.
Powerful results.
Load cells are transducers that fit in the instrument crossarm to measure force in compression or tension. Capacity, calibration, serial numbers, and other important information is auto-detected during installation.
The crossarm moves up and down to compress or stretch the sample. Arm movements are programmable for custom tests.
PC Link is a computer cable connection for software control and analysis
The sample testing area is where probes and fixtures are attached.
An emergency stop button provides additional safety beyond mechanical stops.
The control panel enables easy up and down movement of the crossarm for precise alignment of samples and probes.
The touchscreen interface allows calibration, test setup and operation in standalone mode.
The calibration platform is where weights can be positioned for simple calibration of loadcells.
Data acquisition ports allow other devices to be plugged-in for simultaneous data collection.
Electronics in the base can be upgraded with new firmware to improve functionality.
