The NG-MDR measures 51.5 × 22 × 24.5 inches (131 × 56 × 62 cm), width by depth by height. That is the footprint of the instrument itself, and the dedicated computer workstation that runs the NextGen Rheometer software needs its own place nearby.

For installation we recommend at least 15.7 inches (40 cm) of clearance at the rear, left and right sides, so the machine can be serviced without moving it. The pneumatic filter, regulator and lubricator unit mounts on the right side and the control module at the rear, which is another reason to keep those sides open.

Plan the site on a flat, stable surface with good ventilation, away from strong vibration and electromagnetic interference, with a clean, dry compressed air supply and a grounded power outlet within reach.

If you send us a floor plan or a photo of the bench area, our team can check the layout before the machine ships.

The NG-MDR is custom-designed and built to withstand a continuous production environment, not only a clean laboratory. Its durable machine frame is designed to deliver stable readings whatever the conditions around it, which is what keeps cure curves comparable from shift to shift.

At first start-up, let the system reach the set temperature and stabilize for at least 15 minutes before the first test. That way the first curve of the day is run under the same conditions as the rest of the series.

A solid machine still needs simple care. Clean rubber residue from the cavity after each test, wipe the guide posts with a lightly oiled cloth every one to two weeks, lubricate bearings and wear-prone parts monthly, inspect the pneumatic lines every three months and verify the pressure gauge every six months.

Our service team walks your technicians through this routine as part of installation and training.

The difference is the rotor. In our Oscillating Disc Rheometer, a disc is embedded in the rubber sample and oscillated, and the torque needed to move it reflects the stiffness of the compound. The NG-MDR is rotorless: the sample sits in a sealed cavity between heated upper and lower dies, and the torque is measured through the oscillating die.

That design is what ASTM D5289 describes for rotorless cure meters, while our oscillating disc instrument is listed to ASTM D2084. The NG-MDR also meets ISO 6502 and DIN 53529, so the move does not take a lab outside the common rubber cure standards.

Moving from ODR to MDR is not a straight swap of numbers. Cure meters of different designs can give different results on the same compound, so we suggest a correlation run on your reference compounds before MDR values replace the old limits.

The NG-MDR weighs 498 lbs (226 kg). That mass sits in a frame built for continuous production use, so plan for it before the delivery date rather than on the day.

Check the route from the loading dock to the lab, including door widths, lifts and floor transitions, and make sure the installation surface is flat, stable and rated for the full weight of the instrument and its accessories.

On arrival, inspect the packaging before opening it. Then unpack the instrument, confirm that all accessories are included and move it to the installation site, where it stays. The pneumatic and electrical connections are made only once the machine is in its final position.

Our team handles installation and training, so tell us early about any access limits at your site and we will plan the delivery around them.

The NextGen Rheometer software stores every test as a data file with its curve, drawings and results, so any result can be opened and printed again at any time.

Saving can run on its own. With Auto Saving and Auto Numbering switched on in the system settings, each test is saved and given a test number automatically. Material number, test time and test temperature are entered in the Action Field, so they travel with the stored record.

Stored files are also the basis for comparison. Any saved test can be loaded as a reference curve and shown during new testing, and acceptance limits can be built from a stored file with a tolerance percentage, so later batches are judged against a known good one.

Files are created, saved and loaded from the File menu, which keeps the archive in folders your lab already controls.

The NG-MDR offers swing angles of ±0.5°, ±1° and ±2°, with 1° as the standard matching angle.

The swing angle sets how far the die oscillates, and with it the shear strain applied to the specimen. A larger angle deforms the compound more and gives a larger torque signal, while a smaller angle keeps the deformation gentler.

Use the angle your test method names. The scorch time Ts1, for example, is the time for the torque to rise 1 dNm above ML at a swing angle of 0.5° or 1°, so results from different angles are not directly comparable.

Keep the same angle across the batches you compare and record it on the report, so anyone reading the curve later knows the conditions it was run under.

The NG-MDR is a rotorless cure meter. A rubber specimen is placed in the test cavity between the heated upper and lower dies, the dies close to form a sealed cavity under positive pressure, and the compound is held at the set test temperature.

The oscillating die moves through a small, set angle and applies a shear strain to the specimen. The torque this takes is directly related to the stiffness, or shear modulus, of the compound, and the software records it against time as the cure curve.

As the compound vulcanizes, the torque rises from the minimum, ML, toward the maximum, MH, and the cure times are read off that curve. When the set test time is reached, the die opens automatically and the test is complete.

In Auto Run mode the motor starts and data collection begins as soon as the software detects die closure. The procedure follows the curemeter practice set out in ISO 6502.

The Moving Die Rheometer is designed with a high level of repeatability, meaning that data produced by the instrument is consistently reproducible from one machine to another, regardless of location or time zone.

The torque range of the NG-MDR is 0 to 20 N·m. It covers the whole cure, from ML, the minimum torque of the uncured compound, to MH, the maximum torque of the fully vulcanized specimen.

ML and MH are quoted in dNm, and the operator can choose the torque unit in the software: N·m, N·in, kg·m, kg·cm, kg·in, lb·m or lb·in. Time and temperature units are selected the same way, so reports can match the format your customer works in.

Curve coordinate limits are set in the Action Field, so the torque axis can be scaled to the compound you run rather than shown across the full range. That makes small differences between batches easier to see.

When the temperature unit changes, the curve coordinates and the result data update with it, without rerunning the test.
