Helipath Quick Action Stand with Threaded Spindle Coupling
Introducing the AMETEK Brookfield Helipath Quick Action Laboratory Stand (HPQA)
The AMETEK Brookfield HPQA is a cutting-edge, motorized lab stand designed to enhance efficiency and precision in viscosity and consistency testing. Combining advanced Helipath testing with quick-action operations, it’s the ultimate solution for modern laboratory needs.
Advanced Helipath Testing
When paired with an AMETEK Brookfield Viscometer or Rheometer and a T-bar spindle, the HPQA enables accurate viscosity and consistency measurements in relative centipoise. This makes it ideal for testing materials like paste, putty, creams, gels, wax, paints, dyes, and other thixotropic substances. The helical motion ensures consistent results by continuously cutting into fresh material, eliminating issues like channeling or separation.
The motorized lab stand raises or lowers the viscometer/rheometer in a smooth, controlled motion, creating a helical path in the sample. This ensures precision and reliability in every test.
Quick Action Operations
The HPQA takes testing efficiency to the next level with its motorized capabilities and intuitive design. The integrated touchscreen interface and joystick simplify setup, while a variable-speed motor allows travel speeds of up to 40 mm/s for faster test preparation.
Users can program test height positions for repetitive tasks, ensuring consistency and reducing manual adjustments. A one-touch Home button automatically resets the stand to its top position, streamlining cleanup and sample changes.
The HPQA’s modern features, including DVPlus integration, programmable movements, and a user-friendly interface, make it an indispensable tool for laboratories aiming to improve speed, accuracy, and repeatability in testing.
