3D Contact Angle - Ayríís - Krüss


Revolutionizing Surface Quality Control with Ayríís

Transform surface quality control in your production environment with the Krüss Ayríís. This cutting-edge device streamlines the process, removing user intervention and interpretation errors, and ensuring reliable quality control (QC) checks of wettability at the push of a button. Employing the innovative 3D Contact Angle measurement technique, it offers rapid, automated validation through a simple pass/fail indication based on preset quality standards. The 3D drop projection technology further enhances accuracy, with automatic consistency and plausibility checks for each result.

Designed for continuous operation in a production setting, Ayríís is a mobile, standalone instrument. It features easy-to-exchange rechargeable batteries and prefilled cartridges, ready for round-the-clock use.

Applications Across Industries

The Ayríís serves a wide range of applications, from quality assurance in cleaning and pretreatment processes to the evaluation of material wettability before coating or bonding. Its mobility allows for on-site measurement on large workpieces and finished products, making it an ideal solution for industries such as automotive, electronics, and semiconductors.

Next-Generation Measurement Technology

With the Ayríís, challenging surfaces pose no issue. The unique 3D Contact Angle methodology utilizes a spherical cap arrangement of diodes, producing reflection patterns captured by stereo cameras. A comprehensive algorithm reconstructs the dosed drop in three dimensions, ensuring precise measurement unaffected by human error.

For businesses aiming to integrate QC checks into automated production lines, Ayríís offers unparalleled flexibility. It communicates via the OPC UA protocol, allowing measurements to be conducted remotely and results to be seamlessly integrated into existing data systems.

Embrace the future of surface analysis with Krüss Ayríís - the definitive solution for achieving impeccable QC in production environments.
