T-Ray® 5600/5700
The T-Ray® 5600 is the latest model in the Luna T-Ray® 5000 platform, offering enhanced reliability, maintainability, and performance through a complete redesign of its optical subsystems and advanced electronics. It provides precise terahertz waveform control, generation, and detection for fast, accurate measurements, with processing speeds up to 1,000 times per second, making it the fastest industrial terahertz system. The T-Ray® 5700 offers the same measurement capabilities, with added cybersecurity features.

Equipped with intelligent sensors and updated control units for seamless integration with industrial automation and robotics, both models are ideal for applications such as thickness measurements, extruded shape analysis, density and basis weight measurements, and ultra-high-speed measurements of moving samples.
