Texture Analysis

This texture analyzer can digitalize texture such as firmness, viscosity, and more, allowing for

data management. It offers a wide range of measuring methods to fit your measurement

needs. It shows you the instructions to set up, thus, you only have to follow it. You will

finish measurement before you knew it.

Texture Profile

Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) is a method to analyze texture by a combination of several

parameters. This texture analyzer can handle complicated analysis requiring TPA on

[Texture Profile Analysis] in “Programmable mode”or on a test complying with “Food for

person having difficulty in swallowing.”This analyzer adopts Szczesniak’s profile.

1．Safety Notes

Keep it in mind that the danger and its extent by mishandling below.

Danger

This indicates the condition that may lead to malfunction or

damage and even that can cause injury or death if this

damage and even that possibly can cause injury or death if

the analyzer is used in a manor not specified by IMADA.

Caution

This indicates the condition that may lead to equipment

malfunction or damage if the analyzer is used in a manor not

specified by IMADA..

Wear eye, face, and body protection, and cover the analyzer especially when measuring

fragile samples that have the potential to scatter liquid, fragments, and chemicals under

force.

The analyzer has a moving table. Exercise great caution while measuring or whenever

the table is moving. Never place your fingers or a part of your body inside the column.

Take sufficient safety measurement in use.

Do NOT use it under the explosive environment since the analyzer has not been designed

for explosion-proof construction.

1．Safety Notes

This texture analyzer has been designed for indoor use only. Ensure that its connector

part is kept away from water.

Do not use the analyzer for any purposes except texture analysis (force mesurement).

Ensure that the analyzer’s capacity is NOT exceeded. Applying a force greater than its

capacity can damage the internal sensor.

The analyzer is equipped with the overload preventing function to protect sensor from

overload, however, we do NOT guarantee the complete prevention.

Do NOT disassemble or modify the analyzer and accessories.

The analyzer is precision equipment. Handle with care.

Do NOT disassemble or modify the analyzer and accessories.

Use IMADA’s services of inspection and repair when the analyzer breaks down.

Storage Notes

Keep away the analyzer from oil, dust, high temperature, and high humidity.

Do NOT apply load or impact to the attachments even its power is OFF..

Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe the analyzer without using organic solvent such as

thinner.

Accuracy Notes

This analyzer should get inspected or calibrated periodically to maintain the accuracy.

We recommend that it gets calibrated once a year. Contact the dealer that you have

purchased it from or IMADA to calibrate it.

Use the analyzer within the specified range of temperature to achieve greater accuracy.

Do NOT disassemble or modify the analyzer and accessories.

Vibration Notes

Put the analyzer on a stabilized place to reduce the influence of the vibration since the

vibration influences to the measurement and the operation using Start Trigger function. .

1．Safety Notes

Overload Notes

Note this analyzer’s capacity before use and ensure that the capacity is not exceeded.

Otherwise, the internal load cell would be damaged. An overload can occur whether it is

powered ON or OFF.

Do NOT apply torsion/torque force to the sensor, which lead to breakdown.

～How to Release～

Switch OFF the analyzer, and loosen the probe knob to reduce load to the sensor.

ＳｗｉｔｃｈＯＮ the analyzer again.

Contact us when you still see the screen above even after you switch ON it again since it

is highly likely to be broken.

Emergency Button Notes

Press the emergency button to stop an operation.

～How to Release～

Switch OFF the power first, and turn the button to left and pull it up.

Switch ON to use it again.

3．Names and Functions

Body

FRTS body

This is the main body. It has connectors and an on/off switch on its back.

Place it on a flat place like a table.

Emergency button

You can press the button to stop its operation in emergency.

To avoid danger, always be ready to press it.

Sensor box

This part has a sensor built-in.

Attachment

(Probe and

Probe shaft)

They are necessary components to perform test, sensing force.

The shaft has a screw-on top, therefore, you can replace probes as required.

Probe knob

Loosening this knob, you can move the probe and the shaft up and down.

Table

You can put your test sample on this table.

You can remove the table and wash it. We offer a few kinds of optional tables.

Table knob

You can attach the table using this knob.

Tray

The tray is made of stainless. When your test sample falls or overflows from

the table, the tray receives it.

Holes to attach the

controller

Use the holes and an accessory plate to mount a controller on the body.
