TMA 4000 - When failure is not an option

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the PerkinElmer TMA 4000, a thermomechanical analysis system designed to measure thermal expansion in electronic components and other materials. It highlights the importance of determining the glass-transition temperature to prevent mechanical stress and failure due to thermal expansion.

Specifications
The TMA 4000 features a rugged, all-metal furnace capable of operating safely from 0 °C to 800 °C. It includes a motorized furnace lift for precise repositioning and position sensors for safe operation. The system's direct, inline design minimizes friction and sample deformation, providing accurate measurements.

Key Features

Archimedean float suspension supports the probe and force coil, applying precise force and dampening environmental vibrations.
Interchangeable probes for expansion, flexure, and penetration tests.
Fully computerized with software-enabled real-time data display and automatic sample height reading.

Applications
The TMA 4000 is suitable for various industries, including electronics, food packaging, polymers, automotive, and pipelines. It helps detect mismatched thermal expansion, softening points, and glass transitions, which are critical for product performance and regulatory compliance.

Conclusion
The TMA 4000 is presented as a cost-effective, reliable solution for labs needing to meet regulatory requirements for thermal expansion. It is part of PerkinElmer's comprehensive range of thermal analysis products and services.

TMA 4000 - When failure is not an option-2

IT’S CONFIDENCE YOU CAN MEASURE A main source of mechanical stress – and failure – in electronics components (and other products as well) is thermal expansion. Determining the precise glass-transition temperature where materials begin to soften and stress relief effects can begin to occur, or the point at which delamination can happen, are critical factors affecting the performance of electronics. And they’re just as critical for the financial performance of the companies that manufacture them. Enter the PerkinElmer TMA 4000, the simple, easy-to-use, rugged thermomechanical analysis system that’s...

TMA 4000 - When failure is not an option-3

Worth it's weight in gold When a sample is softening, you want to control the force that comes in contact with it. Even noise from the force motor can result in penetration into or deformation of the sample. That’s the beauty of our Archimedean float suspension – a feature unique to the TMA 4000. The float suspension fully supports the weight of the probe and force coil, so you apply just the amount of force required. Plus, it acts to dampen any vibration in the environment – and your sample. What’s more, interchangeable probe types allow you to switch quickly between expansion, Core rod and...
