Product information "T-Ray® 5000 TCU52nm/TCU54nm Control Units for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging"

1, 2 Channels; Dynamic Range 16 Bit; Sampling Rate 100, 1,000 Hz; Max. Measurement Range 12-100 mm; 6 High-speed Encoder Inputs

Luna’s T-Ray® 5000 measurement systems are amongst the fastest terahertz systems available on the market, with measured data processed within the control unit at a rate of up to 1 kHz. T-Ray® 5000 intelligent terahertz control units (TCUs) are the hearts of the system, monitoring and controlling all aspects of THz generation and detection. The TCU is paired with one of a variety of T-Gauge® Sensor heads to create a complete system.

The data generated by the T-Gauge® sensor heads and processed by the T-Ray® 5000 control units enable multiple measurements of a product simultaneously. One T-Gauge® sensor can measure the basis weight, caliper thickness, multi-layer thicknesses, density and moisture content of a sample in a single pass. Attached to a separate transmitter and receiver, the T-Ray® 5000 control units can perform spectroscopic measurements as well as transmission and reflection imaging.

The T-Ray® 5000 TCU52nm terahertz control unit monitors and controls all aspects of THz generation and detection, precisely delivering controlled optical signals to the terahertz transmitters and receivers, or the T-Gauge® Sensor Heads, enabling them to generate and receive terahertz signals.

The T-Ray® 5000 TCU54nm dual channel control unit is the same size, shape and weight as the single channel unit (TCU52nm), but with the added benefit of being able to control two terahertz sensors for multi-sensor applications.

The T-Ray® 5000 control units and accessories are linked with robust connection points and interfaces appropriate for industrial environments. Adequate connections are provided to allow seamless integration with most QC systems or experimental applications. The industry-standard interface connections make integration with the T-Gauge® Sensor straightforward.
