Resonic K

Efficient solution for small test objects

Easy and accurate mass property measurements of small test objects

Resonic K is our solution for small test objects. By combining a conventional air-bearing pendulum and a unique positioning adapter, Resonic K achieves an outstanding combination of simplicity, speed and accuracy — especially for objects light enough to be lifted by hand.

Overview

Accurate

Combines a frictionless air bearing with a highly repeatable positioning adapter.

Fail proof

Combines an easy process with quality indicators.

Simple

Combines a fast and easy measurement procedure with low hardware complexity.

Unlimited work space

No limit to the horizontal dimensions of the test object. 

Low maintenance

Almost maintenance-free when combined with the optional calibration cylinder.

Able to handle even the smallest objects

Can be easily scaled down to tiny objects weighing a few grams.

Wide test objects

The interface plane between the adapter and test object is always above the other components of the machine. As a result, there is no limit to the test object’s horizontal dimensions.

Large measurement range

A Resonic K machine can have multiple adapters in different sizes. With these adapters, a single machine can cover an extremely wide range of measurement.

Calibration

A Resonic K machine can be calibrated by placing a precision cylinder onto the air bearing spindle. The calibration data are processed automatically and applied to the next measurements.

Turn key

Resonic K machines include all the necessary accessories: air preparation unit, tools, coordinate transformation software, etc.

Transport and storage

Resonic K machines are available with various options for transport and storage.

Comparison

Resonic K is best suited for applications in which the test objects are light enough to be lifted by hand. For heavier objects, it is usually preferable for the test object to remain in the same position on a horizontal platform throughout the measurement, as is the case for Resonic F, S, and G.
