Now Available: Hitachi NEXTA® DMA200 Thermal Analyser with High Force Capability and Enhanced Efficiency

Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation (“Hitachi High-Tech Science”) has launched a new product in the NEXTA^® series, the DMA200 a dynamic mechanical analyser (DMA) for advanced materials development and product quality control. This instrument is distributed by Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science Ltd. (“Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science”).

As industries pursue high-performance composite materials with new functions, the demand for in-depth evaluations using thermal analysis grows. For example, sectors like automotive, aircraft and electronics increasingly require DMA analysis to understand properties like carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics and adhesive behaviors.

DMA technology is utilized to measure the viscoelastic properties of materials, with a primary focus on glass transition detection. Additionally, it can assess secondary transitions, material stiffness, curing level and damping properties. This versatile tool finds extensive applications in mechanical characterization for applied research and R&D, including composites, plastics, rubber and film materials.

As the most recent addition to Hitachi High-Tech Group’s high-specification thermal analysis range, the DMA200 offers increased maximum force capability and built-in efficiency with straightforward troubleshooting, seamless data exchange and easy measuring head interchangeability. Real View^® enables valuable real-time furnace observations, ‘Guidance Mode’ aids DMA novices and electrical gas cooling eliminates the need for liquid Nitrogen.
