The Kistler maXYmos TL (Top Level) 5877A is a process monitoring and quality assurance system designed to capture, analyze, and evaluate XY measurement curves between two measured variables. By monitoring the relationship between these variables in real time, the system enables manufacturers to verify product quality throughout the production process.

Rather than evaluating a single measurement value, maXYmos TL analyzes the complete curve generated during an operation. This provides a significantly higher level of process visibility, allowing manufacturers to identify defects, process deviations, and assembly errors before products leave the production line.

The resulting measurement curves provide reliable quality assessment for individual manufacturing steps, complete assemblies, and finished products, supporting modern quality management and traceability requirements.

Key Features

Advanced XY Curve Analysis

Capture and evaluate the relationship between two measured variables such as:

• Force vs. Displacement
• Force vs. Time
• Pressure vs. Time
