The multi-functional design of the DEA 288 Epsilon (including furnace or laboratory press) allows for the application of a great variety of different test conditions such as heat, cold or UV light. This enables the user to easily and conveniently determine the best parameters for processing the material. Customized Test Conditions The multi-functional design of the DEA 288 Epsilon (including furnace or laboratory press) allows for the application of a great variety of different test conditions such as heat, cold or UV light. This enables the user to easily and conveniently determine the best parameters for processing the material. A complete dielectric analyzer consists of the DEA electronics and a sensor. Disposable sensors are connected via an adaptor box. Four models of DEA 288 Epsilon are available: the regular laboratory version and the slim version with small footprint and two industrial versions. Both instruments are equipped with the same state-of-the-art electronics and have the ability to control additional accessories such as the lab furnace or lab press. The technical differences between the devices are in the design of the housing, the footprint and the maximum number of channels. DEA 288 Industrial Version For in-proess cure monitoring, two industrial versions are available: the standard industrial version and the 19” rack version for an electrical cabinet. Both versions can support up to 8 DEA modules which can be extended for up to 16 channels each. DEA 288 Slim Version The portable DEA 288 slim version with up to 2 DEA channels offers optimum test conditions for thermosetting resins in the lab or in an industrial process by occupying only a small footprint. DEA 288 Laboratory Version The laboratory version is a perfect fit into the NETZSCH instrument line for thermal analysis and thermophysical properties detection which is also reflected by its physical design of our 200 series. The footprint of the laboratory version is identical to that of a DSC or a TGA system. Additionally, the multi-channel option allows up to 8 samples to be measured in one run, making this instrument ideal for process development.
