The TA.HDplus is a new high-speed high-force heavy-duty texture analyser.
The TA.HDplus is a new high-speed high-force heavy-duty texture analyser.
With a maximum force capacity of 10kN, the TA.Hdplus from Stable Micro Systems is the most powerful and flexible texture analyser dedicated to the food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and adhesives industries.
The high-resolution functionality of the company's established heavy-duty texture analyser has been enhanced in the TA.HDplus to allow for minimum speeds of 0.01mm/s.
Higher test speeds - up to 20mm/s - can also now be achieved with the new model.
Its high-speed capabilities will be of particular interest when matching specific operational conditions or imitating real life situations.
Speeds can also vary in proportion to the height of the sample, so products can be tested at a constant strain rate in compression or tension.
For improved functionality, a number of other design features have been incorporated into the TA.HDplus texture analyser.
A simple keypad is integrated into the main body of the analyser to save desk space.
In addition, peripheral instruments can now be plugged into the instrument for multichannel data acquisition.
This enables other measurement devices, such as temperature and humidity monitors or acoustic envelope modules, to be used in conjunction with the TA.HDplus so that data can be simultaneously collected.
Increased flexibility can be achieved through the multistage test programming facilities as the user can now define individual arm movement sequences at various speeds and distances.
This unique feature allows the most complex test protocols to be established.
In addition, the texture analyser is no longer limited to fixed library tests.
The new TA.HDplus texture analyser uses a fully integrated fourth generation Exponent 32bit software to provide consistently accurate and quantifiable textural data.
This has a number of advantages: thumbnails allow the user to preview the file before it is opened; long file name support makes files easier to locate and understand; dockable and customisable toolbars allow the user to configure their own shortcuts and tools menu; windows are tabulated so that all information relating to graphs, such as test settings, parameters and results, are filed together in a user-friendly, accessible manner; projects, results and macros have all been enhanced; reports have been redesigned to use a more familiar word processing environment; and the software features a multilanguage user-definable translation system.
