  • Determination of fat, starch and proteins in food
  • Detection of the moisture of products
  • Monitoring of drying processes
  • Incoming inspection of powder-based products such as flour or milk powder





Agriculture
  • Determination of the contents of dry substance during or after harvest of food stuff
  • Quality control of grain ( protein, moisture etc.)

Measuring running conveyor belts
  • Determination of moisture and colour in paper manufacture
  • On-line colour of textile and plastic lines
  • Determination of colour and heat protection degree of architectural glass
  • Measurement of layer thickness of foils

      Software which adds to the value

      Aspect Plus

      The flexible software from Zeiss for spectral analysis.

      • Macro programming for the creation of automated sequences
      • Multi-component analysis
      • Extensive mathematical functions
      • Options for colour and calculation of layer thickness
      • Data export to ASCII, JCAMP, GRAMS formats


      This software ensures that you have access to the easy processing and evaluation of spectral ranges by simple clicks of the mouse. The optional implementation of a macro language in AspectPlus also allows you to create your own automated methods.
      AspectPlus is supported by the operating systems Windows 3.11,95,98 and NT.


      Functional libraries under LabView and C/C++

      The functional libraries ensure that the creation of individual program packages for CORONA don't pose a problem.
      • Driver library for spectral range detection and parameter administration
      • Library for colour evaluation of spectral ranges
      • Calculation of layer thickness of transparent media (FFT)


      Specialised software? At your request!

      In addition to the above tailor-made software packages are available for immediate operation of different tasks, e.g. for:


      • In-line and at-line measurement of colour values of conveyor belts
      • Determination of moisture
      • Multi-component analysis with calibration routines created under GRAMS 32 or Unscrambler
      • Measurement of layer thickness of coatings on plastic, aluminium and glass

      Naturally we would also be happy to create software for you to your own specifications e.g. for semi-automatic or fully-automatic incorporation of the CORONA systems into your production process.


      GRAMS 32
