By monitoring the applied moment of rubber to the oscillating dye body, this machine is intended to obtain the characteristic curve and characteristic parameters of rubber vulcanization. The results are quite stable when using the NG-ODR rotor-free vulcameter. The information and diagrams can be consulted for development, research, and product quality.

NG-ODR precisely and promptly describes the curing and processing characteristics of rubber compounds that have been vulcanised. It operates on a very basic idea. Under positive pressure and while being kept at a predetermined high temperature, a test piece of rubber compound is kept inside a sealed test cavity. A Rotor (oscillating disc) that is placed in the test component oscillates via a limited rotary amplitude that is determined. The test piece experiences a shear strain as a result of this motion. Depending on the stiffness (shear modulus) of the rubber compound a torque is required to oscillate the disc.

NextGen’s Oscillating / Automatic Disc Rheometer (ODR) is computer controlled.
