"Crystalization Rate Measurement Device" ~ Clearly capturing the crystallization process of resin materials ~ The product page has been published!

Automatic and easy measurement of crystallization rate of resin materials / Polymer crystallization by temperature jump / Visualization with images and graphs / Compact design

The crystallization rate measurement device from Mikyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is designed to melt film-like resin materials and measure the rate at which they crystallize. By continuously quantifying the crystallization process through image processing, it automatically and accurately measures the crystallization rate of polymers. ◆ Polymer Crystallization via Temperature Jump ◆ A film-like sample is sandwiched between glass covers and set in a sample holder. Once the heating furnace reaches the melting temperature, the sample holder is inserted. The fully melted film automatically drops into an oil bath, achieving a temperature jump through quenching. This device realizes a temperature jump during quenching in an oil bath for the melted film under conditions that cannot be replicated by conventional thermal analysis equipment. Polarizing microscopes for measurement and reference capture the crystallization process. The screen can display a scale bar, allowing for real-time measurement of spherulite size. ◆ Key Points ◆ - Automatic measurement with just temperature and time settings - Clear visualization of dark crystallization behavior - User-friendly and compact design For more details, please refer to the catalog or contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
