Original Press Release:
Thermo Fisher Scientific Offers New Mobile Docking Station to Connect Existing Measuring Adapters to the HAAKE PolyLab OS Rheometer Platform
Users can protect their established measuring procedures while upgrading their installations
Karlsruhe, Germany (December 18, 2006) Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving
science, has introduced a new HAAKE OS mobile docking station to enable users to integrate
their existing measuring adapters into Thermo Scientific's newest torque rheometer platform, the
HAAKE PolyLab OS. With this upgrade, users can protect their established measuring
procedures while upgrading their installations.
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single-screw and conical double-screw extruders can no longer be used because of outdated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. The new HAAKE OS docking station addresses this problem and allows
users to extend the life of their equipment. A selection of mechanical drive couplings allows users
to easily fit HAAKE and other measuring adapters dating back to the 80ies 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. Measuring data can be called up during operation, and a
variety of user levels can be set to change test parameters and measurements for specific
routines.
For added convenience and precision, the mobile docking station incorporates temperature
control for up to four heating zones including air cooling.
Thermo Fisher Scientific successfully supports a wide range of industries with its comprehensive
Thermo Scientific Material Characterization solutions. Material Characterization products analyze
and measure viscosity, elasticity, processability and temperature-related mechanical changes of
plastics, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and coatings, plus a wide variety of liquids or solids.
