A protective screen is sometimes a necessary accessory to protect the operator in the event of sample fragments leaving the test area during a test.
A Safety Screen is now available for operator protection from such fragments or violent failures of specimens such as hard and brittle materials that may shatter or create projectiles upon failure. In addition, there are instruments used by multiple and/or unskilled operators that may prefer the installation of such a screen for an extra degree of operator safety.
The screen is constructed of a strong yet lightweight acrylic panel which allows clear observation during a test whilst minimising weight. A handle at the front of the instrument provides the means to lift the screen. An interlock mechanism requires that the screen is at its lowest ‘closed’ position prior to starting a test and will interrupt the test in the event that the screen is lifted up during a test. Upon lifting, any test that is underway will immediately stop and an audible signal will be produced. The screen has dampers which enable the panel to remain at any lifted position without dropping down.
The design is such that the screen works within the existing footprint of the Texture Analyser with no additional bench space required. We are happy to inform you that it is, in fact, the only Texture Analyser that currently has safety in mind!

The TA.XTplus texture analyser is part of a family of texture analysis instruments and equipment from Stable Micro Systems. An extensive portfolio of specialist attachments is
available to measure and analyse the textural properties of a huge range of
food products. Our technical experts
can also custom design instrument fixtures according to individual
specifications.No-one understands texture analysis like we do!
