Kompass Analyzers determine the material properties, the friction behavior or the layer thicknesses of a wide variety of materials, material pairings or lubricated bearings and guides. They are used to simulate the functional behavior of components or systems and thus to ensure or optimize the function with a long operational life in the application areas:
- Automotive, rail vehicles
- Energy supply, wind power plants
- Plastics industry
- Food, pharmaceuticals
- Petrochemistry (lacquers, paints)
- Building materials industry (curing behavior)
Material Analyzer
Kompass Material Analyzers are used to determine the properties of materials, such as the adhesion of hard and soft materials to a sample surface, the penetration resistance / compliance of materials or composites, and the viscoelastic properties of materials with low viscosity.
Adhesion Tackiness Analyzer
The Adhesion Tackiness Analyzer is a 1D force measurement system for the high-precise, reproducible and temperature-dependent determination of the adhesion and tackiness
properties of lubricants, greases and other viscous or semi-solid fluids.
Features:
- measurement of the complete indentation and pull-off curve of materials in the mN range
- calculation of thread length, pull-off force & energy of viscoelastic materials or foods (fats, creams, honey, ...)
- force, pull-off speed & temperature adjustable
- small volumes and 15 different samples
- integrated heating function up to 100°C
- fully automated measurement process incl. software
- comprehensive experiment configuration & visualization
Friction Analyzer
Kompass Friction Analyzers are used to determine the friction of material pairings with different elasticity or compliance. The aim is to reduce and optimize friction for a high functional reliability and energy efficiency.
Pin-on-Disc Friction Analyzer
The Pin-on-Disc Friction Analyzer is a 2D force measurement system for the high-precise, universal and load-dependent determination of the coefficient of friction, especially of
compliant sample materials such as rubber or elastomers, e.g. in moving seals.
Features:
- control of normal force & measurement of friction force
- speed, angle of rotation & radius precisely adjustable
- forces from 100 mN to 10 N, controlled in the mN range
- optional syringe module
- fully automated measurement process incl. software
- comprehensive experiment configuration & visualization
- low weight and small footprint
Material, Friction & Surface Analyzer
Kompass Multi-Analyzers can be used to analyze Materials, Contact Behavior/Friction or Surfaces. They variable, versatile and affordable.
TEAMS Analyzer
The TEAMS Analyzer (Tactile Equipment for Analysis of Materials and Surfaces) is a
compact 3D µ-tribometer that unites a high-precise XYZ drive system with a 3-axis force sensor and a dynamic drive. It enables the determination of CoF, a DMA investigation or special
characterization of compliant or even soft sample materials (e.g. gels, contact lenses or bio films) and surfaces (optical change due to lubricant effect/refractive index, microstructure).
Features:
- travel range of 20x20x100 mm³ (XYZ) with 0.1 µm resolution
- wide force measurement range up to 10 N with µN resolution
- el.-dynamic drive horizontally or vertically avaiable
- uni-directional (one-way) or bi-directional (reciprocal) motion
- simple sample exchange and various holders/SEM-pins
- external or build-in PC (with Windows or Linux, Wifi-ready)
- programmability of your own experiments/test sequences
- live visualization and export of measurement results
- FAIR-Data compliant & LIMS compatible
- low weight (<12 Kg) and small footprint (360x250x360 mm³)
