Features

  • Clear digital display and intuitive controller makes defining the final result or checking intermediate stages very easy.
  • The compact machine has six tracks, and comes with two robust and reusable glass beds of 100x350x3 mm.
  • Optional are six narrow glass beds in special adapters.
  • The front panel of the TQC Drying Time Recorder is made out of hardened glass, which is easy to clean and protects the display underneath it.
  • The TQC Drying Time Recorder is powered by a safe 24 V DC power supply.
  • The drive system is lubricant free, so there is no risk of lubricants that thicken at lower temperatures.
  • The display is heated which enhances menu visibility at lower temperatures. These design features result in a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C (non-condensing), which makes it possible to perform tests in climate chambers.
