CA60 Portable handheld type optical contact angle measuring instrument

Additional information

1. Portable and Compact Design

The handheld structure with an 80 × 44 mm support base enables flexible measurements directly on large components, finished products, or difficult-to-access surfaces without requiring sample cutting or laboratory transport.

2. Measurement of Extremely Small Samples

With a minimum measurable sample size of only 1 × 1 mm², the system is ideal for micro-components, electronic materials, precision parts, and localized surface analysis applications.

3. High Precision Droplet Control

The system offers droplet movement accuracy of 0.1 mm and liquid dispensing accuracy of 0.1 µL, ensuring highly repeatable contact angle measurements and reliable wettability evaluation.

4. Sharp and Accurate Image Capture

Equipped with a telecentric zoom camera featuring 1280 × 1024 resolution, the system provides distortion-free droplet imaging and enhanced edge detection for precise contact angle analysis.

Overview

The Handheld Contact Angle Measurement System CA60 is a compact and portable solution designed for fast and accurate surface wettability analysis directly on various sample types and production environments. Equipped with a stable support base of 80 × 44 mm, the system is capable of measuring very small specimens with a minimum sample size of only 1 × 1 mm². The high-precision droplet dispensing system provides liquid dosing accuracy of 0.1 µL and droplet movement accuracy of 0.1 mm, ensuring reliable and repeatable measurement results. A high-resolution telecentric zoom camera with 1280 × 1024 resolution delivers sharp droplet imaging for precise contact angle evaluation and advanced surface characterization.
