Processability data at real processing rates
Magna's capillary extrusion rheometers generate processability data at real processing rates.
The system allows the actual flow characteristics of the material being processed to be measured with each shot.
Data measured include shear and extensional viscosities as functions of rate.
These data may be recorded for QA purposes, or may be linked to the machine control computer to provide a signal for automatic or semi-automatic closed loop control.
The system may also be linked to other sampling and measuring instruments, for example for gloss, dimensions, part weight, etc in order to generate a data base from which to rapidly optimize processing conditions and energy usage and to minimize wastage.
