Regarding the support period for the 2000 series and recommendations for overhauls and parts purchases.
The 2000 series (RPA2000, MDR2000, MV2000, etc.) has been on the market for over 30 years. As a result, especially due to the pandemic, the stable supply of parts has become increasingly difficult year by year. In a few years, depending on the parts, there is a possibility that the supply of parts may become challenging. Currently, we are proposing the following: 1) Overhaul of the equipment: Replace only the drive and control parts of the testing machine with new components. 2) Purchase of the following parts: Parts that may become difficult to obtain in the near future.

Product Information: Premier RPA Stress Relief Test
One of the functions of RPA is the "stress relaxation test" function. Unlike the Mooney viscometer, it allows for stress relaxation tests to be conducted on a single sample after pre-curing, post-curing, and other test conditions. It is known that the relaxation speed and the decrease in torque differ between pre-curing and post-curing. There may also be potential for using it as a reference for tensile testing.

Regarding additional temperature calibration, data backup, and recommended regular inspections.
1) Regarding temperature calibration addition As a standard, temperature calibration is conducted at 177 degrees. It is optional, but additional temperature calibration for up to 4 points is also possible. Testing is conducted at several different temperatures, and if data reliability is a priority, we strongly recommend considering additional temperature calibration. 2) Regarding data backup Predicting computer failures is extremely difficult. Have you been backing up the data that has been tested so far? If data preservation is necessary, we kindly ask that you perform regular data backups. 3) Regarding recommended regular inspections We offer three types of maintenance contracts based on customer requests. We recommend entering into a maintenance contract for maintaining data reliability, preventing sudden failures, and for regular calibration of detectors. 1) Maintenance contract programs 1. Alpha Care Simple: Annual inspection 2. Alpha Care Select: Biannual inspection (includes torque standard calibration: a great deal!!) 3. Alpha Care Advantage: Quarterly inspection (includes torque standard calibration and film: even better deal!!!)

Regarding the foam pressure measurement function.
The Premier RPA rubber processing analysis device and the Premier MDR vulcanization testing machine are equipped with pressure measurement as standard. (Note: The older models RPA2000 and MDR2000 cannot measure unless the optional pressure measurement function has been added.) - Simultaneous measurement of foaming pressure while conducting vulcanization tests - Data on the rate of increase in foaming pressure can also be obtained - Can be used for considerations of temperature, formulation, and processes

Product Information 1: Premier MDR Vulcanization Tester
Compared to the conventional machine (MDR2000), sensitivity and reproducibility have further improved, and the optional strain change kit can be easily modified by the customer. <Overview Specifications and Features> - Temperature Range: Room Temperature to 230°C - Strain: ±0.5° (±7%) *Options: ±0.2° (±2.8%), ±1.0° (±14%), ±3.0° (±42%) - Frequency: 1.67Hz (100cpm) - Features: - High sensitivity and high reproducibility: Achieved through strict temperature control - Equipped with foam pressure measurement function (previous model was optional) - Automatic pass/fail judgment can be set Customers can create their own pass/fail criteria, and automatic judgment will be made after testing. This eliminates the need to check individual data (values), reducing the burden on testers. Figure 3: Example of Pass/Fail Judgment of Test Results - Sample Automatic Transport Options: 5, 10, 36, 224 samples *Automatic sample transport improves testing efficiency and productivity.
