Malcom’s new flagship viscometer replaces the PCU-205 as the industry standard for testing solder paste viscosity. Updates featured in this viscometer include an onboard PC with a full LCD touchscreen display. The heating unit also has been improved for faster and more stable temperature control.

International Standard for Solder Paste Viscosity Measurement

  • Measure TI (Thixotropic Index) & R (Viscosity Non-Recovery Rate) according to JIS Z3284.
  • Newly-designed Compact Thermostat realizes better workability.
  • Touch Panel Display improves usability and visibility.
  • Automatic measurement and save data.
  • Optional Printer is also available.

Features

  • Malcom Unique Spiral Viscosity Sensor can continously measure the viscosity and TI of sample
  • having high thixotropy with excellent repeatability.
  • Windows system and Touch-panel display Measurement Program Creation and Automatic Measurement.
  • Graph Display of the measurement result is also possible.
  • Newly-designed Compact Thermostat realizes better workability, Sensor cleaning at ease,
  • Setup a sample container and etc.
  • A mouse and Keyboard can connect to the PCU-285.
  • The measurement data automatically save in the PCU-285 itself.
  • The network system (LAN) unify the management of data from multiple devices.
  • USB memory stick can be connected to the PCU-285 to copy data.
