The three models of the DMo-WA series are specially designed contact angle meters for measurements of disk-shaped substrates such as silicon wafers with a diameter of up to 300mm.
All models feature a 305mm diameter 360º rotation table and a computer-controlled dispenser which allow for automatic measurements of contact angle, advancing and receding angles, as well as analysis of surface free energy of solids.
Optional, a tilting stage for the measurement of roll-off angles is also available.

Each model combines the following features

Fast image capturing system with standard 400 fps at 640x480 resolution USB3.0 CMOS camera, max. 2700fps at 640x64 resolution
Automatic single dispenser system
Diameter 335mm 360º rotation sample stage with a maximum load capacity of 0.4kgs
Stage travel distance: x-axis: 150mm, y-axis: fixed, z-axis: fixed
Focusing aid with displayed index graph and value and brightness adjustment to achieve perfect focus
Movie converter to convert data images to MPEG-1 or AVI movie format
Determination of contact angles, droplet volume, residual droplet volume, sessile drop volume, height, and radius of the sessile drop
Measured results are displayed in a spreadsheet for easy reference and comparison, and saved in csv format for easy export to and manipulation in MS Excel
User-specified analysis report function, providing measurement results and parameters
Droplet calibration standard for standard view, bearing one full circle for calibration and three droplet silhouettes of 5º, 60º, and 108º for periodic inspection of measurement accuracy
