Automatic Polariscopic Stress Tester
Automate residual-stress evaluation in transparent glass products.
An automatic polariscopic stress analyzer for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of residual stress in pharmaceutical glass containers and other transparent products.

Workflow and key features
The PGY-05A images stress-induced birefringence, measures optical path difference and converts the result to a stress value after specimen thickness is entered. Automatic image recognition reduces operator-to-operator variation associated with manual analyzer rotation and visual reading.
- Automatic image recognition and stress-value calculation
- Qualitative screening and quantitative measurement modes
- Digital optical-path-difference and angle indication
- Adjustable light-field brightness for laboratory conditions
- USB connection for PC control and data export
- Large result storage capacity and role-based access control
