The TMS 2000 Texture Measurement System
The TMS-2000 is a research-grade texture measurement system comprised of the TP-6 Texture Press combined with a Windows PC software package.
Designed specifically for food texture measurement, the TMS-2000 software controls the texture press and performs the data processing for results presentation to the operator. Communication and control are accomplished through a standard, reliable network connection so there is no additional hardware to install.
The system is capable of up to 3000 pounds-force, and comes with the industry standard Model CS-1 Kramer Shear Cell as well as one FTA Force Transducer. The TMS-2000 can be supplied with or without the PC, and is designed to accommodate FTC Test Cells and Force Transducers. Most older FTC systems can be economically upgraded to the TMS-2000 platform. The system can display results in Metric or Imperial units.
Supplied with: TP-6 Ultra Quiet, Variable Speed and Pressure Texturepress, TMS-2000 software, One FTA Load cell (user specified range), CS-1 Test Cell and Operators Manual.
