MCR rheometers offer you one thing first and foremost: An open range of possibilities. Modular.MCR rheometry builds on your applications. Whatever your rheological requirements are and will be in the future – MCR rheometers are efficiently and comfortably adapted to meet your needs. The intuitive application software and patented features like Toolmaster™, an automatic tool recognition and configuration system, make sure of this. Changing a cone-plate for a concentric-cylinder measuring system is just as easy as integrating a new temperature device or extending your rheometer’s testing capabilities with a wide range of application-specific accessories. Compact. MCR rheometry builds on your working day. The space-saving MCR rheometers are designed with a specific focus on ease-of-use, with all components incorporated into one simply installed unit that easily fits on a standard laboratory table. ‘Compact’ use of your time is guaranteed: The TruGap™ system for automatic gap control, the T-Ready™ feature for controlling the actual sample temperature, and of course the speed and precision of the dynamic EC motor itself – these and other MCR characteristics ensure efficient rheological operation. Rheometer. MCR rheometry builds on technological innovation. Benefit from rheological highlights such as the air-bearing- supported, synchronous EC motor, the dynamic TruRate™ sample-adaptive motor controller, the normal force sensor integrated in the air bearing, TruStrain™ real-time position control, continuously improved electronics and numerous other features that ensure the MCR series’ world- renowned rheological peak performance.

Toolmaster™ is the only completely automatic tool recognition and configuration system for rheology. It recognizes measuring and environmental systems as soon as these are connected to the rheometer. Transponder chips in each accessory’s control cable and in the measuring system contain all relevant data, such as truncation, diameter, cone angle and serial number, and automatically transfer these to the application software. Error-free documentation and perfect traceability xe@v%u87hqf% A?frHs?'4?Rc@t? tDYD- Easy fitting of measuring systems: QuickConnect QuickConnect additionally offers you mechanical ease-of-use: The quick-fitting coupling allows one-hand connection of the measuring systems and ensures fast, convenient system changes without the use of a screwing mechanism. Intuitive control of your device: MCR color display With the MCR series’ color display you can manage the complete sample preparation procedure directly at the instrument. The softkeys under the screen offer you the same functionality as a touchscreen, but without the risk of damaging or contaminating the screen in harsh working environments. Physical properties such as normal force, temperature and gap are displayed in a clearly arranged, accessible fashion. Permanent control of the measuring gap: TruGap™ Errors in gap size due to thermal expansion or contraction directly influence the accuracy of results in parallel-plate and cone-plate measurements. The TruGap™ system fully replaces these procedures: The gap is directly measured and precisely adjusted to the desired position independently of the temperature and thermal expansion. TruGap™ measuring systems are based on a magnetic induction principle. An AC current flows through the primary coil in the lower plate, which induces a voltage in the secondary coil since the circuit is closed by an iron disk in the upper measuring plate. Based on this voltage, the gap size is consistently measured and adjusted. Time-saving temperature certainty: T-Ready™ Rheological measurements are strongly influenced by temperature. Therefore, in addition to accurate temperature control, knowledge about the sample temperature equilibration is essential. The new T-Ready™ feature employs TruGap™ functionality to precisely determine when the desired sample temperature has been reached. Unnecessarily extended waiting times before tests are eliminated: T-Ready™ gives a green light so that the test can be started as soon as the desired sample temperature is reached. New Paths for Your Applications The RheoCompass Software Your rheometer opens up a constantly growing number of measurement opportunities.

Whether you perform zero-shear viscosity determinations of low-viscosity polymer solutions or measure highly viscous magnetorheological fluids at high shear rates ??0s?I@?1x?P'?V?)4hq` motor of the MCR series ensures accuracy across a wide viscosity range – from solids to liquids with viscosities lower than water. The rotor of the EC motor drive is equipped with permanent magnets. In the stator, coils with opposite polarity produce magnetic poles. The magnets in the rotor and the stator coils attract each other, so that a rotating flux of current in the coil windings produces a frictionless synchronous movement of the rotor. The torque of the motor is set and measured via the input current to the stator coils. Due to its unique design the EC motor features a linear relation between the torque and the input current to the stator coil, which is advantageous for precise torque control and measurement. These and other motor characteristics considerably benefit your rheological measurements. The optical encoder The high-resolution optical encoder based on data oversampling technology enables the measurement ??0s?$S?twA8?@cda?5!RAXwc20Bb??%$Q?8 4#pD0 Combined with TruStrain™ this provides the basis for comprehensive studies of samples with weak structures. The speed of completely digital control The use of the most recent processor technology in the B?( 3S??%?38Gc?1?Ei?DSXcda?@FT6e26?R????0s?increases the efficiency of transient tests. Due to the additional memory, important signals such as the torque and deflection angle are recorded and processed with higher signal density. ?S?@T??1?YY@%PPXh?8 ?0uG? &7?RI?6 7(X??X?A?x? 5#QR??6#?p)x#q!7(X??1?Ei?B?( 3S??being the first rheometers ever based on this technology. As a result of constant optimization, MCR rheometers are now also controlled with digital current sources. The low fluctuation and high performance of these sources further increases the accuracy of MCR torque measurement and control. The air bearing Two air bearings support the motor: A radial air bearing centers and stabilizes the shaft and the axial air bearing holds the weight of the rotating parts. This established air bearing technology is independent of external influences and therefore applicable without further electronic control. Continuously optimized for rigidity, drift stability and robustness, the MCR rheometers’ air bearing technology together with improved torque scanning enables low-torque $ d0??8cPBb??%$Q?8 ?06D?Acda?%t?&G?sid The normal force sensor The high sensitivity and increased sampling rate of the normal force sensor integrated in the air bearing enables normal force measurements during transient and steady- state tests as well as static normal force measurements, which are used for gap control and DMTA, tack or penetration tests. The sensor employs an electric capacity method, precisely converting extremely small deflections in the air bearing into the according normal force. Instead of enforcing additional travel, the natural movement already present in the air bearing is used to measure the normal force. The advantage of the sensor’s location in the air bearing: Normal force measurements are available for all temperature devices and application-specific accessories. Whatever your application, the normal force sensor is always immediately functional.

All mechanical and electrical control components are incorporated into one single, simply installed unit that easily fits on a standard laboratory table. You are given sufficient space for sample loading, trimming and further preparation. The mechanical self-alignment of all accessories ensures comfortable work with the modular MCR system.

In addition to the low elastic compliance of the steel itself, the Isolign'BX? Piezo Flange actively compensates the residual compliance. IsoLign'BX?: Nano-scale precision The unique IsoLign'BX? Piezo Flange enables nanometer- scale gap size changes as small as 10 nm by three Piezo elements in the rheometer’s bottom flange. This system provides additional measuring gap constancy – an especially vital feature for long-term measurements at low torques – and actively compensates the entire system’s axial compliance in transient tests. In tests across vast temperature ranges, the measuring gap is kept constant within lower tolerances than ever before.
