What Sets Our System Apart?

NanoStrobeX Dropwatcher Advantages

The NanoStrobeX is designed for inline process monitoring in Real-Time. Due to its small size and intelligent design, the dropwatcher can be easily attached to almost any dispensing system. The inline monitoring of dispensing processes has many advantages and helps you to save cost, increase production times, improve quality and makes a considerable contribution to sustainability.

Accelerating Visibility

Until now, dosing could only be monitored as a result. With the NanoStrobeX, the dosing process is made visible, speeding up the setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of process issues many times over.

Traceability

Continuous process monitoring enables traceability of dosing for the first time, allowing big data analysis to increase productivity and ensuring sustainable product quality. Returns and batch problems can also be analyzed.

Sustainability

Real-time monitoring detects deviations in the dosing parameters in time and can react immediately. This reduces the scrap rate, positively impacting sustainability and significantly increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of production.

Usability

The NanoStrobeX is designed for plug-and-play, both electrically and mechanically. The software is intuitive to use and runs on the device itself, so the camera can be operated from any device without installation.

3D-Drop-Analysis

The 3D drop monitoring enables extremely precise determination of the dispensing volume, which cannot be reached with conventional cameras. At the same time, even hidden satellite droplets are reliably detected. The 3D detection also enables the evaluation of the direction of flight and the expected impact position.

Inline Monitoring

The NanoStrobeX can be fully integrated into your production system to enable continuous process monitoring of your manufacturing process in Real-Time. In this way, quality control becomes a predictable and reliable affair. You can directly detect and react to unexpected influences on your dispensing process such as temperature, humidity or air pressure.

Screenshot of our Drop Measurement GUI

Web-GUI

The AnalysisUnit of the NanoStrobeX has an integrated web server for intuitive process settings. This is used for evaluation functions, evaluation criteria or statistical analyses. The GPIOs or a database connection can also be set. No installation or extensive training is required. All you need for control is a standard browser. The dosing process becomes visible within a few minutes without you having to adapt your electrical wiring.

Different Nozzle Drop behavior that can be monitored

Nozzle Monitoring

Liquid residues on the nozzle have a negative effect on the dispensing quality, e.g. by changing the droplet flight direction or the droplet volume. With the NanoStrobeX, the nozzle condition can be monitored in real time. Cleaning as required saves valuable process time and reduces scrap at the same time.
