ModularLine Glossmeter

Features

• Easy handling with selectable measurement options:
– Machine direction (MD)
– Cross direction (CD)
– MD and CD with automatic rotation
• Can be driven with a single transport


Description

The instrument is part of the PTA-Line series. It possesses a built-in industrial PC and a touchscreen for controlling the device and displaying values and statistics. The software is easy in use and handling. By default, the instrument is delivered with a measuring head with an angle of 75° (according to TAPPI T480). It is available in several versions (only MD / only CD / MD and CD with turn able measuring head / upper and lower side at the same time, etc.) The measuring head is set onto the sample automatically.


Test description

The operator places the sample and pushes the start button. The measuring head goes downwards and touches the placed sample. (If using samples, which aren’t plane-parallel, a vacuum plate is optionally available.) The measurement is performed fully automatically. When measuring in two directions (see device with MD and CD), both directions are measured successively due to an automatically turning measuring head. The two-head device (upper and lower side) is only able to measure MD or CD.
