Discover ways to increase your sample throughput
Time is precious, so you’re sure to be interested in ways to speed up your product testing, gain ‘walk-away’ time and make texture analysis more convenient and efficient.
We offer a number of options to increase operator efficiency, improve product throughput and speed up your texture analysis testing using automation:

Compare Texture Analysers to find the right model for your testing
Would you like to employ a texture analysis system which provides multiple loading of samples and their subsequent testing with 'walk-away' time for the duration of all tests?
With the aid of a barcode scanner, a product barcode can be obtained, which would automatically select the correct project ready for testing, allowing even more automation and reducing user error. This device is attached via the USB port on the PC.
The foot-operated User Programmable Remote Switch can replicate a key switch combination. This may, for example, be used to start a test, useful if the PC is not situated adjacent to the texture analyser. The switch is connected to the PC via the USB port and the user is able, by setting small internal switches, to choose the keystroke combination to be replicated. The switch may be used up to 2.5m away from your PC.
A ‘magnetic’ coupling or ‘quick-twist’ attachment of the probe are available (in batches of 5) for quick probe removal and replacement and support the need for test procedures that have efficiency and/or convenience in mind. Whilst a magnetic coupling might be the favoured attachment action it is not suited to the testing of samples that do not have a flat surface or samples that have an adhesive force measurement exceeding 1.5kg. The ‘quick-twist’ probe attachment is suited to all applications and load cells. These have Community Design Registration – proving our commitment to new innovation testing solutions.
The Multi-head Indexing Probe allows adhesives to be tested without manual intervention (as an accessory for the Automated Linear Indexing System) or is available separately for those users who just wish to speed up their testing whilst manually indexing the probe to the next clean probe during testing, to avoid stopping to clean and dry between tests. Both ways of using this Multi-head Indexing Probe serve to increase your sample throughput to get your data collected in less time by saving the necessary cleaning to the end of multiple tests.
The Texture Analyser uses a range of different probes and attachments according to your specific application.
Whether you require a simple test and data analysis solution or a fully featured software package – we give you the choice.
If your product is temperature sensitive, we have a range of temperature monitoring and control options.
By attaching peripheral devices you can collect additional measurement parameters during your standard texture analysis test.
