In-line Process Spectrophotometers
Spectrophotometers are installed within a process stream. They are used in demanding production environments to get continuous color measurement data during a production run. It facilitates quick responses to color variations. This technology is very convenient to operate providing a reliable option and a high level of accuracy. Here are some of the other features of UV VIS Spectrophotometers.
Equitech Int’l Corporation specializes in the design, sales, installation and service of fiber optic instrumentation systems. Through the use of proprietary fiber optic probes, our high quality dual-beam spectrophotometer and easily integrated software, our systems dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of industrial quality control efforts and compliance requirements. Their systems provide reliable, real-time process measurement data.
Optical Fiber Cables
Silica Fiber Anhydroguide (SFS) and Superguide(SFS) Silica Core / Silica Clad fibers are generally used in photonics applications, power delivery, and sensing. These applications require an individual or bundled large-core multimode fibers for the transmission of optical energy. The fibers can be coated with a variety of polymers or metals to operate in extreme temperature conditions.
Fiber optic cables contain glass threads that are capable of digital data transmission modulated into light waves. They are lighter in weight and less susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Due to the bandwidth, the data-carrying performance of optical fiber cables is much better than ordinary metal conductor cables. They are the best option for high-speed data transfer.
Software Utilities
Spectrometers when combined with compatible software and support tools, create powerful information that helps to simplify, improve, and streamline the research and production processes. There are mainly 3 types of software.
EquiColor
This software is designed to be used with the Equispec Inline Color Spectrophtotmeter (OCS). With this, operators can monitor L*, a*, b* under a series of illuminants and observers. It confirms that the production batches are within tolerance range of approved standards. Managers and process engineers are able to set standards and tolerance by using security features while letting the operators use, access, and recall prior operational files without affecting the settings.
Equichem
Equichem is used with the Equispec Chemical Process Analyzer (CPA). This software comes in handy for complete configuration, data collection, and plotting, which include residuals, statistics, errors, and predictions. It also does all the calculations and predicts the results.
EquiFilm
The Equifilm software is designed to be used with the Equispec Film Thickness Analyzer (FTA). It is used to continuously measure the film thickness in real time in a range of 0.5 to 300 microns. This software is very reliable and simple to operate. It can simultaneously measure upto 5 layers in a multilayer product and comes with alarm system to alert operators regarding off-spec products.
Probes & Flow Cells
Probes and flow cells are designed for application with NIR or UV/VIS fiber-optic coupled analyzers. They are designed in such a manner that they provide optimal transmission for long term reliable measurements while operating in harsh chemical and physical process conditions. They can measure solids, liquids, slurries, polymer melts, pastes, and even gases
