This IDECO TA & VT device combination contains three systems that are connected to each other in a modular way:
The IDECO Thermo-Analysis TA750SN, the VAC-Test System VT650ST and the Density Index Analysis System VT170SO.
Thermo-Analysis
The IDECO® Thermo-Analysis system, is a qualitative measuring system for the simple determination of grain refining and the modification of liquid aluminium alloys. The system records the cooling process of a metal sample in detail and analyses it automatically. The temperature acquisition and measurement results are graphically displayed.
VAC-Test & Density Index Analysis System
The IDECO VAC-Test & Density Index device is a system for simple determination of the pore potential of liquid aluminium alloys. In order to determine the actual pore potential, a sample is taken from the melt to be tested using a sampling ladle. After casting in two special sample crucibles, one sample solidifies at atmospheric pressure and one at 80 mbar absolute pressure.
Once the samples have cooled down, the density index is determined on the Density Index Analysis System according to Archimedes' principle. The density index represents the percentage density difference of the two samples created.
Tabular overview of the current measurements with sample identification and measurement result.
User-related identification of each measurement (e.g. "article", "customer", "batch", "furnace", "alloy", etc.) with plausibility check
Self-configurable selection or validation lists can simplify sample identification and avoid input errors.
Automatic measured value identification for frequently recurring entries, e.g. for follow-up measurements
Automatic recording and analysis of the cooling process of the metal sample with simultaneous graphic display
Detailed graphic display of the measurement result with indication of the points with thermal relevance. This enables verification of the measurement result.
Search and filter function for all stored measurements
Thermo-analysis measurements can be subsequently supplemented with additional data (e.g. VAC-Test / spectral / temperatures) and a comment
VAC-Test measurements can also be documented separately (without thermo-analysis measurement)
Printout of measurements on a local or network printer (if available)
Customised software adaptations are of course possible
Secured system ("kiosk mode"). No access to the operating system for the operator
Manual backup of measurements on USB data carrier
