Phoenix -Smart (M.A.)

The Phoenix Smart series is designed to offer the flexibility required for QA. R&D and engineering process development. The Phoenix-Smart (M.A.T) has been specially designed to be an upgradable and portable device that is easy and convenient to use. The Phoenix-Smart(M.A.T) can virtually any sample size without sample cutting preparation. Light-weight means simple control device and simple handling. Phoenix-Smart(M.A.T) adopted USB type camera. Easily connect to laptop and desktop computer with Surfaceware software.

Description

Why using Portable Contact Analyzer?
  • When the sample size cannot be prepared/ cut to fit on the stage of general purpose contact analyzer
  • Not constraint by the sample size and shape
  • Bringing the analyzer to the sample instead of bringing the sample to the analyzer

Key Features

  • Data checking instantly without open analysis window by preview result function
  • High-resolution and powerful image capture system
  • Able to connect to laptop or desktop PC via USB port
  • Improved precision and reproducibility by the elimination of operator error
  • INSIDE OF device condition checking window
  • Upgradable design ( Manual to Auto and Touch )
  • Light-weight
  • LED light source

Capabilities

  • Sessile drop method
  • Static contact angles
  • Surface tension by pendant drop method
  • Dynamic contact angle ( Auto & Touch model)
  • Easy surface energy calculation process
  • One touch button control drop volume
  • Capture time ( Auto & Touch model)
  • Head module moves up and down automatically ( Touch model only)
  • Sequence image is captured by the programmed time interval.
  • Data comparison function
  • Precisely calculates drop volume
  • Unlimited repeat function ( Touch Model only)
  • Auto captures at Thermodynamic equilibrium ( Touch model )
1.Static Contact angle measurement

Measurement range : 0~180°

2.Captive dynamic contact angle (Applied only Smart -A, Smart-T, model only)
3.Easy Surface Energy calculator (GGFY, Owens Wendt, Lewis method)

Using measured contact angle data itself

4.Surface tension by pendent drop method

(1mN/m ~ 1000nM/m)

5.Curved surface sample measuring function
6.Automatic capture at after thermodynamic Equilibrium

(Applied only “Smart -T” model)

Able to get contact angle data from three phases thermodynamic equilibrium

Software function

1.Static contact angle calculation by three modes
  • Tangent line method 1(For Tilting contact angle and bigger drop volume)
  • Tangent line method 2(For common measurement)
  • Trigonometric function (For low angle measurement : less than 30degree)
2.Realtime Preview Result before capture function
  • Able to check condition of image before capture – Measurement data will be display before capture
  • Able to check an instant contact angle and surface tension data
3.Automatic capture at after thermodynamic Equilibrium

Contact angle is based on three phases equilibrium, but it is dependent on Sample’s property. There is different equilibrium time for different sample.  User is able to set equilibrium  time as above.

4.Manual mode for critical sample
5.Auto calculate average
  • Automatic calculation of the average contact angle data by the software based on the frames captured.
6.Graphical data
7.Four types of capture modes
  • Single mode –  One by one capture image
  • Sequence mode –  Able to check by interval time base
  • Verify mode –   Will show only one Maximum frequent image
  • Programmed mode – Use it with Tilting, Time base by triggering
8.Export captured date to Excel (2 modes)

Selected only one image export on whole measured image

  • All images export at once into an collection
9.Manual define Base line function
  • User can define the baseline manually for difficult to calculate contact angle
10.Precisely drop volume calculate
  • Using SEO Pixel Width calibration, user can calculate the drop volume of the liquid precisely
