Details
LTMS is a spectroscopy-based system for real-time, in-line monitoring of liquids including industrial dyes and plating baths, ingredients in foods and beverages, and chemical coatings for metals. The system comprises a rugged transmission/absorption platform with a compact, rugged benchtop configuration suitable for harsh environments. A built-in cuvette holder and flow-cell setup with automatic fluid handling are included.

LTMS is a powerful tool for managing batch-to-batch color consistency in plating baths for metal parts and dye baths for textiles, and for monitoring liquid concentration levels for chemical coatings and food and beverages. As an in-line system, LTMS eliminates the need for walking or transporting samples from the production line to quality control labs, removing a process bottleneck and making it possible to more readily address quality issues as they occur.
Overview
- Fully integrated system – robust, customized system with spectroscopy-based transmission measurement, modeling algorithms and fluid sampling devices
- In-line, batch-to-batch color matching – real-time measurements speed up workflows by detecting and correcting quality issues as they occur
- Maximized production yields – improve batch efficiency by minimizing rework and maximizing uptime
- Flexible setup – as measurement needs change, you can easily move LTMS from tank to tank and make rapid adjustments for new parts and color baths
