A new generation of Melt Index Test
 |
GÖTTFERT is offering different levels of automation of Melt Flow Indexers for several decades. Starting with the semi-automated Melt Flow Indexer mi2.2, going on with higher automation models like MI-3 and mi40 upto the fully automated MI-ROBO.
The increasing automation has also arrived in the laboratories of material testing. This is accompanied by an increasing demand of automated material testing.
The automation of testing equipment has various advantages. The „human-factor“ is excluded by a standardized measurement procedure which caused an increased reproducibility of the measurement results. In addition, the operators are physically relieved and are able to supervise several test devices in the laboratory.
mi40 - automation
A well established fully automated MI-Robo gets support by an ongoing development of fully automated melt flow index tests. The company newly offer the possibility to operate our mi40 via an industrial robot, starting from automatic feeding of the test materials into the barrel, performing of the measurement and cleaning of the capillary fully automated. This solution enables a quality control with multiple Melt Flow Indexers (mi40) at the same time, with different materials and different testig conditions.
mi40 - viscosity
So far, GÖTTFERT mi40 offers the possibility to carry out melt index tests with several weights (multi load measurements). An additional Add-on is the development of melt index multi weight measurements with the option of viscosity tests in an extended shear rate range.
The mi40 is also equipped with an OPC/UA Interface, which enables a bi-directional communication between various devices (machine-to-machine).
