Tecnar Automation Ltd., Quebec, reports that its Coldspraymeter is the ideal tool for researchers and production managers involved in cold spray processes. Monochromatic light is shone onto the system’s measurement volume to illuminate the cold particles that would otherwise be impossible to see. They are then characterized (velocity, size, flux) based on the back-scattered light.

 

The data is available as CSV files and can be easily accessed via Ethernet or a USB jump drive. Based on the time-tested Dpv principle, the Coldspraymeter can characterize particles individually and provide complete velocity and size distributions (not only mean values). Its intuitive touch screen user interface makes it easy to integrate into daily operations.

 

It helps to validate fluid dynamic models, optimize spray nozzles, develop and optimize spray parameters, maximize deposit efficiency, and monitor the process during production runs. Its intuitive touch screen user interface makes it easy to integrate into daily operations. The data is available as CSV files and can be easily accessed via Ethernet or a USB jump drive.
