T-RAY® 5000 SERIES : Terahertz Control Unit
TCU5610 , TCU5611 , TCU5612 , TCU5613
The TCU561x is the latest edition to the T-Ray® 5000 product line. The instrument comes standard with two channels and is available in multiple delay configurations to accommodate a broad set of measurement ranges. The TCU561x is ideal for:
- High precision thickness measurements of single-layer and multi-layer materials and coatings
- Multi-point measurements of extruded shapes (ie OD, ID, concentricity, ovality, etc.)
- Density and basis weight measurements for a variety of materials
- Ultra high speed measurements of moving samples for online process monitoring and control
The TCU561x is compatible with a variety of gauges and sensors that are connected via robust cabling and connection interfaces. Additionally, the powerful and user friendly T-Ray® Server Software enables the user to quickly and easily transform Terahertz signals into meaningful measurements. The system can be easily integrated with industrial automation and robotics through an abundance of communications protocols and I/O options.
