Technical Specifications
Our Thermo Haake Polylab Rheocord Drive with Polylab Rheomix High Shear Mixer Attached from Thermo Electron Corporation (http://www.haake.de/rheometer.htm) is an intelligent modular torque rheometer system for the simulation of industrial processes in the lab. The mixer tool enables the batch testing of many highly viscous substances. Mixer sensors are used to test processes such as the mixing, compounding and plastifying of polymers, chemicals, ceramics and pigments under production-style conditions. The Rheomix controls are sophisticated in data administration as well as the communication with the master unit via the data highway. Coded so that the master unit automatically senses which sensor is connected. The measuring sensor automatically informs the base unit and thus the operator of the configuration i.e. the number and position of the temperature control zones and measuring ports, unit-specific limit values as well as the possible sensor options.
Features
- Mobile measuring sensors avoid the necessity of handling of heavy and hot parts
- Integrated heating and cooling circuits reduce the number of plug connections and thus the danger of making incorrect connections
- Several peripheral units such as feeding and post-extrusion units are computer controllable thus meaning better reproducibility and documentation.

Technical Specifications
Using a General Electrics Krautkramer USN 58L, this gantry can classify sub-surface flaws in composite systems. This scanner can handle multiple non-destructive inspection applications, ranging from research and inspection procedure development activities, up to industrial inspections for corrosion mapping, inspection of fasteners, multi-layered structures, and more.
Features
- Range 0.040 to 480in. (1 to 12,192 mm) at steel velocity
- Material Velocity Continuously adjustable from .0394 to .6299 inches/μs
- Pulse Voltage: Square-wave excitation pulse 50 to 450 V adjustable in 10 V increments
Laser Doppler Velocimetry is a non-contact method for classifying velocity with resolution up to 90,000 points per second. Typically used for fluids classification, this system provides a method for retrieving velocities during impact situations without the use of piezoelectric crystals. This gives our lab the ability to analyze the dissipation of energy during moderate velocity impacts beyond the capabilities of force transducers. Using a 5W Spectra Physics Argon Laser, a wide range of velocities can be analyzed with greater resolution.

Proper sample preparation crucial when classifying any material. The TegraForce-5 is allows us to handle up to six specimens can be inserted in a specimen mover plate, where the force is applied individually to each specimen. Coupled with the Tegra Doser 5, automated polishing is made easy. A Struers Secotom 10 sample saw ensures consistent, high-quality sample sectioning.
The FARO Laser ScanArm V3 is ideal for inspection, point cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling. The ability to hard-probe measure simple point variations, then laser scan sections for larger volumes of data allows the lab to save time when designing and classifying systems. This is done without the wasted time of adding/removing attachments, untangling cabling, or importing data from another CMM.
