Rheometer.

A Haake OS mobile docking station has been introduced to enable users to integrate their existing measuring adapters into the company's newest torque rheometer platform, the Haake PolyLab OS. With this upgrade, users can protect their established measuring procedures while upgrading their installations, according to the company. In many cases, proven, high-quality mechanical components found in older measuring mixers, single-screw and conical double-screw extruders can no longer be used because of outdated hardware and software, according to the company. The Haake OS docking station is said to address this problem and allows users to extend the life of their equipment. A selection of mechanical drive couplings is said to allow users to easily fit Haake and other measuring adapters dating back many years onto the mobile docking station. The PolyLab OS rheometer platform incorporates the standardized CANopen Bus that promotes connectivity. Peripheral devices are automatically identified and graphically shown in the MS Windows-supported software. Remote supervision and service support are also made possible. Historical mixer data and graphs can be imported into the system for integrated data evaluation and immediate productivity gains, according to the company. Measuring data can be called up during operation, and a variety of user levels can be set to change test parameters for specific routines.
