Automated Tilting Base 100-25-A

The ramé-hart Automated Tilting Base (p/n 100-25-A) is a fully software-controlled motor-driven option for determining roll-off angle as well as as advancing and receding contact angles. The tilting base method is considered superior to the traditional dynamic drop volume method for measuring advancing and receding angles as no disturbance to the drop by a needle or tip is required. The Tilting Base can swing between 0° and 180° in either direction. The speed can be set to as slow as 0.1° per second to as fast as 5° per second. Slower speeds can be achieved using the experiment wizard. A precision gearbox includes a manual alignment knob for setting the home position as well as an analog readout on the instrument. Movement is totally vibration-free with no backlash to ensure that when the drop does release, it's due to gravity, not machine movements.
