The MCA-3, an image analysis contact angle meter, can accurately produce droplets as microscopic as 1×10-3to 10-5μL on extra fine patterns under 100μm wide which were impossible to measure by conventional contact angle meters.
This contact angle measuring system installs on existing instruments that have a sample stage. The system's vertically-equipped CCD camera observes droplets from above, allowing measurements on flat panels of unlimited size, like LCDs and PDPs.
Kyowa's LCD series of contact angle meters have large stages applicable to glass sheets used for flat panel production of younger generations, available in three models for 400 x 400mm, 700 x 700mm, and 700 x 900mm.
The CBVP series uses the precise Wilhelmy Plate method standard. The du Nouy Ring method is also available as an option.
This special-use surface tensiometer measures dynamic surface tension of surfactant solutions, using the maximum bubble pressure method.
Triboster is KYOWA’s measurement instrument for coefficients of static/kinetic frictions, with a horizontal linear reciprocating motion system
Kyowa's SF series measures static friction on flat solid surfaces automatically. The touch of a button starts the measurement and displays the resulting Coefficient of Static Friction in a few seconds. Neither complicated adjustment nor data correction is required.
Rolled steel sheet is coated with an oil coating during production, requiring quality control of the spread oil volume. The SOM-A system measures the amount of oil spread on rolled steel or aluminum sheet, using the Hydrophil Balancing System.
