New On-Site Service for ATAGO RX Laboratory Refractometers

We at the ATAGO Service Center Germany, operated by GIMAT Liquid Monitoring, are pleased to introduce our new on-site service for the calibration of RX laboratory refractometers.

Many customers do not want to part with their devices for verification and calibration or deal with the cumbersome process of shipping. In response to high demand from users of the ATAGO RX series, we are now offering this service across the entire DACH and BENELUX region.

Our highly qualified technicians come directly to you. This results in only minimal downtime and eliminates the risk of transport damage. Benefit from our first-class service!

Feel free to contact me here or at volker.koschay@gimat.de for more information.

GIMAT devices have been a permanent fixture at the Legden wastewater treatment plant in the Münsterland region for nearly four decades.

With durable, maintenance-friendly, and easy-to-operate devices, we support the plant personnel in carrying out their work efficiently. We are pleased that the Legden treatment plant continues to rely on our quality and has once again trusted GIMAT for the partial renewal of their influent measurement systems. For the continuous measurement of pH, conductivity, and temperature, a new GICON 1000 multi-parameter transmitter was recently acquired.

The existing probes and cables are compatible with the new device and could therefore continue to be used. This made the replacement and upgrade of the measuring device cost-effective and straightforward. Furthermore, the measurement setup was enhanced with an ultrasonic sensor for flow measurement, which was easily possible thanks to the additional input of the new GICON 1000 transmitter and its device software. Despite this expansion, the new device could be installed in the exact same location as the old one, where the cable connections were already present, within a very short time.

As the example of the Legden treatment plant has demonstrated for many, many years, our devices last a very long time and rarely require repairs. The longevity and high quality of our products therefore provide financial benefits for operators. Operation and maintenance are also extremely simple.

A heartfelt thank you to the municipality of Legden and the plant staff, especially André Salewski and Thomas Bröker, for the long-standing partnership and trust in our products. Our customers’ satisfaction is our greatest success and drives us every day.

In metal-cutting operations, cooling lubricants play a crucial role.

While oil emulsions have traditionally been used, oil-free aqueous solutions, often based on glycol, are increasingly being employed. To ensure the optimal ratio of glycol to water, continuous concentration measurement is essential. A proven parameter for this is the Brix value, which can be quickly and easily determined using refractometers such as the digital handheld PAL-1 from ATAGO.

The video demonstrates how a sample is taken from the machine tool’s supply tank using a pipette and the Brix value is determined with the PAL-1 within a few seconds.

ATAGO, headquartered in Japan, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of refractometers. In Germany, GIMAT is the official service center for ATAGO products. As Managing Director and owner of GIMAT Liquid Monitoring, I am proud that we are part of ATAGO’s innovative and future-oriented network. This positions us well for the future and ready to tackle the challenges of the industry.
