Viscosity number evaluation of polycarbonate, polyester, etc.

Lauda's automatic dynamic viscosity measurement PVS In the production and recycling of polycarbonate (such as CD-ROMs) and polymethyl methacrylate (such as plexiglass), the IV value (intrinsic viscosity) plays an important role. Viscosity measurements of polymer solutions are also conducted in the production of raw material pellets. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be configured with up to 8 measurement stands equipped with an automatic cleaning function, and the injection of sample solutions into the viscosity tubes can be performed either automatically or manually. This system allows for the measurement of a large number of samples with 24-hour operation. In cases where measurement frequency is low, it is also possible to build a system at an affordable price, with the option to add automation modules such as auto samplers later on.

Evaluation of viscosity numbers for polyamides, polybutylene terephthalate, and others.

Lauda's fully automatic dynamic viscosity measurement device PVS VAS In high-performance plastics, managing the viscosity number (Reduced Viscosity) is essential, and quality control of materials is conducted by understanding the polymer chain length. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be constructed to minimize the handling of highly irritating, toxic, and corrosive solvent chemicals, contributing to the safety of operators. By establishing a fully automatic system, it is possible to automatically perform a series of operations from the automatic preparation of diluted polymer solutions, injection into viscosity tubes, viscosity measurement, to the cleaning and drying of viscosity tubes after measurement, demonstrating its effectiveness in routine work that requires efficient measurement of many samples, such as resin material evaluation for each batch.

[New Product] It features a built-in cooling function using a Peltier element, achieving an operating temperature range of 15°C to 90°C with the device alone.

"Viscocool 6" is a new product that is ideal for use in conjunction with the PVS or iVisc dynamic viscosity measurement devices from Lauda, which have received high praise. It features a built-in cooling function using a Peltier element, allowing the device to operate at temperatures ranging from 15°C to 90°C. The transparent polycarbonate water tank has a capacity of 6 liters and can accommodate one measurement stand and one viscosity tube stand. Additionally, it comes standard with a backlight using white LEDs on the rear of the tank, making manual viscosity measurements comfortable. This product is perfect for small-scale dynamic viscosity measurement tasks, research and development, and quality control. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

This is an automatic kinematic viscosity measurement device that uses glass capillary viscometers, pursuing the high performance and cost-effectiveness unique to LAUDA.

By installing the included operation software on your PC and connecting via USB, measurement is possible. All operations are performed using the software on the PC, making it easy to operate and manage data. When combined with the ECO series or ProLine series constant temperature water baths, measurements can be taken under precise temperature control. The use of near-infrared detection for liquid level detection minimizes measurement errors associated with visual observation and variations due to liquid color, allowing for high-precision measurements at the millisecond level.

[New Product] Introducing a transparent cylindrical water tank type constant temperature bath that is convenient for manual viscosity measurement of multiple samples! It allows observation from all around.

The "Viscotemp 18S/G," a transparent cylindrical constant temperature water bath for measuring dynamic viscosity, is convenient for manual dynamic viscosity measurements of multiple samples. Made of hard glass, the water bath allows for observation from all angles, which improves measurement efficiency. You can choose between two types of cover plates: one designed for five viscosity tube holders and a measurement stand, and another for one viscosity tube holder, allowing you to build a system tailored to your usage needs and the number of samples. The control head is available in two models, Silver and Gold, similar to the well-regarded ECO series. By using an external cooling unit, operation at low temperatures is also possible, making it suitable for a wide range of measurement tasks. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

A high-performance constant temperature bath with a transparent window is now available at an affordable price! We offer three sizes: 15L, 24L, and 40L.

The Lauda-made constant temperature water bath with a viewing window for measuring dynamic viscosity, "Viscotemp 15/24/40," limits the operating temperature range of the conventional Proline PV series to the most versatile range of 0°C to 105°C, while maintaining high quality and reliability. It is available in combination with ECO Silver or ECO Gold control heads. The water bath is available in three capacities: 15L, 24L, and 40L. You can select the model according to the number of measurement samples and measurement purposes. A variety of measurement stands and viscosity tube holders are also available, along with a cover plate that enables a wide range of combinations, contributing to the construction of a cost-effective dynamic viscosity measurement system.

**Seminar Overview** The construction industry faces many challenges, including a shortage of personnel, regulations on maximum working hours, and the need for efficiency improvements. Additionally, the transmission of skills due to an aging workforce has become a significant issue, with a high turnover rate among younger employees who are supposed to carry on these skills. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of turnover based on case studies and explain key points on how to reduce turnover rates by advancing IT integration.

**Seminar Overview** "Generative AI," which is gaining attention as a method for improving business efficiency and utilizing internal digital transformation (DX), can be influenced by the literacy of the employees using it, potentially increasing the burden of work instead. In this seminar, we will discuss the current challenges of generative AI while providing examples of how it can be used to enhance business efficiency. We will also explain how to utilize generative AI in a way that achieves efficiency without being dependent on the user's skills. We hope this will serve as a reference for considering the use of generative AI.

**Seminar Overview** The reality that young members leave their jobs due to miscommunication with their superiors occurs in every industry. This is also true in the construction industry. The long-standing issues of labor shortages, regulations on working hours, and the challenges of passing on skills due to an aging workforce are significant problems. However, the misalignment in communication with young employees, who are supposed to be receiving this knowledge, may actually worsen the situation. In this seminar, we will discuss the causes of communication gaps as seen through case studies, and talk about methods for skill transfer, knowledge accumulation, and smooth internal communication using IT tools.
