Eliminate tedious, error-prone measurements from surface treatment validation

kruss-mobile-surface-analyzer-lighting-camera

In manufacturing, small errors can lead to big losses – lost time, money, and product. Ensuring consistent and correct surface treatment depends on precise, accurate measurements of variables like dyne level (surface free energy). Dyne ink, a common surface quality tool, is prone to errors because it relies on human interpretation and manual processes – telling only half the story.

Dyne ink opens the possibility for inconsistent, unreliable validation of a surface treatment’s effectiveness – which impacts the quality of the final product itself.

Effective surface quality control requires accuracy. Unfortunately, in an industry where dyne ink is the standard, error-free validation feels like an anomaly. But it does exist.

Easy. Accurate. Intelligent.

With KRÜSS’s Mobile Surface Analyzer (MSA), get reliable results with the click of a button. The MSA eliminates the need for unreliable dyne inks and conclusively measures the reading of dyne level (surface free energy) across many manufacturing and R&D processes. By removing operator interpretation of results during measurement, the MSA ensures pass/fail validation every time. KRÜSS’s advanced technology allows for fast, repeatedly exact data in seconds that is automatically incorporated into the ADVANCE® software. Learn how KRÜSS can help you monitor your surfaces more effectively. Let’s talk.

Remove the Guesswork

When it comes to manufacturing products that will work reliably, you need accurate results without increasing production time. This is where the Mobile Surface Analyzer (MSA) by KRÜSS steps in. Ensure reliable quality control with its fully automated design that calculates dyne levels (SFE) at the push of a button, without the risk of human error.

In addition to accuracy, the MSA provides additional benefits to manufacturers, including:
  • Ability to test multiple sections of a surface
  • Allows for testing at different angles (overhead, horizontal or vertical)
  • Provides results in seconds
  • Collects and stores data in ADVANCE® software
  • Ability to test in manufacturing facility versus a lab environment
