The use of the M400 aerosol saves a lot of time on a measuring line, and makes the results independent of the operators. It is an appropriate and efficient tool for metrological controls.

All probes are included and installed in the M400 aerosol case. The display shows the 4 main characteristics on the screen. This device allows a quick quality control of any aerosol.

The M400 aerosol works under our own operating system (not under Windows CE or similar) which makes it possible to obtain significant display performance

Machined in aluminium, the case is very robust, and the front face of the M400 aerosol is covered with an integral polyester film which gives it a protection against liquid projections.

With its intuitive menus, touch screen and user-friendly interface, the M400 aerosol is a device that will be quickly picked up by any operator.

Interface

Different virtual keyboards (alphanumeric, numeric or with trigonometric functions) allow the entry of part names, IP addresses or calculation formulas. A verification system is included to limit the risk of input errors.

The entire configuration of the device is done via the touch screen.

Statistical functions

The M400 can store up to 64 part references, and up to 30 000 measurement of each of them. Saved data can be locally used for statistical analysis (SPC type).
The following functions are available on M400:

The parts in contact with the aerosol are made in stainless-steel (316L), according to the food industry norms.

The M400 is fitted with a large colored touch screen (7″ – 17.8 cm), allowing an easy configuration of the device. Icon desktop and drop down menu are designed to let the user set up the measurement parameters in the easiest way. Measurement are displayed with the form of bargraphs.

The M400 aerosol measures the following characteristics:

  • Crimp diameter (1)
  • Crimp height (2)
  • Stem height (3)
  • Dome height (4)
Aerosol gauge dimensions

The back side of the M400 aerosol includes the following elements :

  • Com port
  • Power supply Input 12-30 VDC
  • USB Stick connector
  • USB Device port, allow to transfer the measurements easily to a computer, without any driver
  • Input for multifunctional footswitch
  • M-Bus port for communication with the optional M-Bus modules from Metro.

The M400 is delivered with a master part for calibration and a sheet with its technical characteristics.
