Unique Capability of PowderShape - The unique advantage of PowderShape is the particle charaterization by means of image analysis over a size range of up to 3 magnitudes (up to afactor 1000). (This is possible because we work with scanners see sample enclosed.)- correct characterization of elongated particles (high aspect ratio particles) due to the use of static image analysis. This analysis enables to measure the true length of the long axis not just a projection as it is done by dynamic image analysis.- characterization of particle sizes up to 3 cm in contrast to particle characterization by laser diffraction
The Powdershape system
Powdershape is a characterisation system for powders and generally all kinds of particles especially developed for quality inspection. It is unique in its set of features, simple user interface, and rapid characterisation process from the sample preparation to the printed certificate.
The measurement range is from 15 um to 20 cm particle size.
Two kind of Powdershape systems exist:
Powdershape - where the samples are distributed stepwise by hand on the scanner Powdershape automatic - where the samples are feeded automatically by the sample feeder on the scanner. (sample feeder: patent pending).
Powdershape
The small brother of Powdershape "Microshape"
A new simply product "Microshape" has been issued for powder characterization that has just two measuring ranges
2 - 150 um using the digital microscope with 14600 dpi
10 - 1000 um using an 3600 dpi film scanner
Your advantages:
- A very quick measurement method
- Easy and fast specimen/sample preparation
- Minimisation of possible operator errors
- Consistent and reproducible results
- Very attractive price/performance relation
- Reliable and rapid industrial method for quality inspection
Specifications
The right hardware is a requirement for a good image analysis with PowderShape. PowderShape can be combined with different types of scanners and microscopes.
See below five different FibreShape systems:
1) PowderShape M: medium format scanner offering a large contact area with a high resolution scanner.
The measurement size ranges from 20 um to 5 mm in grain size.
2) PowderShape FA: A4 scanner with automatic sample feeder. The samples are fed automatically by the sample feeder onto the A4 scanner.
The measurement size ranges from 30 um to 3 cm in grain size (10 cm max size of chips).
3) PowderShape FH: A4 scanner with hand operated sample feeder. The samples are distributed stepwise by hand on the A4 scanner.
The measurement size ranges from 30 um to 3 cm in grain size (20 cm max size of chips).
4) PowderShape FA Aqua: Similar to PowderShape FA but the samples are analysed in liquid suspended form.
The measurement size ranges from 30 um to 3 cm in grain size.
Fibreshape
Unique Capability of FibreShape - The use of different form factors allows the characterization of fiber fineness or width over a very wide size range. (fibers with length/with ratio up to 10000)- with the add-on FiVer the length of stiff crossing fibers can be anaysed. (e.g. carbon fibers, glass fibers). FiVer detects intersectingfibers, splits it into its individual fibers and measures the length of each individual fiber.
The Fibreshape system
Fibreshape is a quality control and characterisation system for fibre applications. It is unique in its set of features, simple user interface, and rapid characterisation process, from the sample preparation to the printed certificate.
The measurement range is from 7 um to 20 cm fibre length.
Two kind of Powdershape systems exist:
Fibreshape - where the samples are distributed stepwise by hand on the scanner Fibreshape automatic - where the samples are feeded automatically by the sample feeder on the scanner. (sample feeder: patent pending).
