TAPlus Series

The TAPlus series machine is an
easy to use solution for performing rapid, detailed texture analysis
tests on applications up to 102 kgf (1 kN, 225 lbf). The machine
uses interchangeable XLC Series loadcells as the measurement device.
Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension
limits are standard features. The machine can be equipped with a
selection of specially engineered food texture grips, jigs and
probes, as well as a range of multi-purpose grips for more general
applications.
The TAPlus features an innovative design that maximises working
space and simplifies operation and maintenance. The large work
surface accommodates a broad range of specimen sizes and can be
specified with additional work platforms for specialised
applications.
The TAPlus displays load and extension information on a highly
legible LCD console with integral membrane keypad. The machine's
intuitive firmware displays prompts and menus which guide an
authorised user through machine operations. Users can choose from a
range of display languages.
The machine's performance can be further enhanced when combined with
our NEXYGEN MT application software. NEXYGEN MT software contains an
extensive library of pre-programmed texture analysis test setups
based around international standards. Results data can be
extensively manipulated to produce detailed analytical reports, with
the ability to integrate with popular WINDOWS™ software packages
including EXCEL™, ACCESS™, WORD™, POWERPOINT™ and OUTLOOK™.
