LABOT Melt Flow Index Tester (Full Automatic)
Designed for demanding applications and automated use
Removing
Unnecessary Movements and Realizing a Human

The most Simple and the Best Automatic Melt Flow Index Tester
That is
the YASUDA
120-LABOT-MI
The only thing that the Operator is Required
while the 120-LABOT-MI is in Function is
“TO

SOMETHING ELSE” than the Test and the Cleaning
The Demand of MELT FLOW INDEX TESTER
This tester is used to measure the melt flow index of thermo-plastic. The melt flow index is acquired from the weight or the volume of the extruded specimen at a specified cylinder temperature and with a specified load of piston through the die.
The tester is equipped with robotic mechanism which enables FULLY AUTOMATIC melt flow index tests up to a maximum of 50 samples (standard of 12 samples). The test conditions and the outputs can be set and observed through the computer software.
This Tester is Manufactured Based on the Following Standards;
JIS-K7210
Plastics – Determination of the melt
mass-flow rate (MFR)and the melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of thermoplastics
ISO-1133
Plastics
–
Determination of the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) and the melt volume-flow rate (MVR) of
thermoplastics
ASTM-D1238
Standard
test method for melt flow rate of thermoplastics by extrusion plastometer
The Full Automatic Testing and Full Automatic Cleaning enabled by the Robotic Arm
1. Automatically Cleaning the Cylinder and the Die after Pushing out the Left Over Sample
2. The Sample Cup Automatically sets above the Cylinder and the Sample Cup is Knocked Repeatedly to Inject the Sample
3. Automatically Applying the Test Load to Start Measuring the Melt Flow Rate
4. The Robot Arm Grabs the Piston and Rotates to Insert the Cylinder
What is YASUDA SEIKI’s MELT FLOW INDEX TESTER?
Point.1 FULLY AUTOMATIC Testing and Cleaning
The Test, Cylinder Cleaning, and also the Die Cleaning made all FULLY AUTOMATIC with the Robot Arm.
Point.2 The YASUDA SEIKI Original Robot Arm
Every Process of the Melt Flow Test and Cleaning is Conducted with this Robot Arm which Imitates the Human Hand.
Point.3 Perfect Cleaning Just From YASUDA SEIKI
The Robot Arm will Up and Down and also Twist the Cleaning
Rods (including Die
Cleaning)
to Provide Perfect Cleaning.
Point.4
High Repeatability
The Perfect Cleaning of the No.120-LABOT-MI will Provide an Excellent Repeatability in the Test Result even if Different Test Samples are Tested in Alternate Shifts.
Point.5 Rich in Extensibility to Satisfy Different Needs
The No.120-LABOT-MI is Capable in Extending the System to Fit the Operators’ Demands.
The
Machine can also be Extended to a 50 Cycle FULLY AUTOMATIC System.
Point.6 Compact Size and Space Saving Design
The Robotic Arm Structure and the Fixed Cylinder Provides Compact Sized Machine which
enables
to be placed in Limited Space.
Automatic Weight Changing Device
Automatic Weight Changing Device
The 120-LABOT-MI can Automatically Change
the Test Load According to the Test
Condition
set in the PC Software. With this
Function, there will no more be the Manual
Weight
Changing which can be a High Risk of
Major Injuries.
Automatic Sample Feeding
The Robot Arm will Automatically Pick Up the Sample Cup
The Sample Cup will be Placed on Top of the Cylinder
Sample Cup Knocker will Knock the Sample Cup to Inject the Sample Smoothly
Automatic Testing
The Chuck on the Robot Arm Grabs up the Piston The Pushed out Sample Flows out from
the
Die
and Inserts it into the Cylinder
The Up and Down Movement of the Robot Arm
Pushes in the Sample to the Starting
Position
The Pushed out Sample Flows out from the Die
Automatic Measuring
1.The MVR or the MFR Value is Automatically Measured and the Data is Transferred to the PC Software
2.The PC Software Displays the Measured Value
3.The Test Data is Stored in the PC Software to be Compared or to be Analyzed
Automatic Cleaning
The Cylinder Cleaned Automatically with the Cylinder Cleaning Rod
The Robot Arm Twists 270° to Wipe off the Left over Sample in the Cylinder’s Inner Wall
The Left over Sample in the Die to be Cleaned Automatically with 2 Different Die Cleaning Rods
