TXA Texture Analyzer – Touch Screen Model
The Apple Electroniks TXA Texture Analyzer is one configurable product family for texture, tensile and material-behaviour testing. Five variants cover capacities from 50N to 5000N, allowing laboratories to select the load range that suits their samples without navigating separate product pages.
It supports compression, tensile, adhesion, peel, puncture, penetration, bending, shear and Bloom strength testing for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, adhesive, packaging and research applications.
Touchscreen operation, servo-controlled motion, interchangeable fixtures and digital data output provide repeatable testing for quality control and R&D.

Referenced Standards
The TXA5000/S brochure references ISO 7500-1 and ASTM D882. Confirm the applicable method, fixtures, load cell and software configuration for your material when requesting a quotation.
No. TXA50/S, TXA100/S, TXA200/S, TXA500/S and TXA5000/S are capacity and configuration variants within one TXA Texture Analyzer product family.
Select the model around the maximum expected test force while retaining the resolution needed for the sample. Share your material, method and expected force so the appropriate load cell, probe and fixture can be quoted.
Yes. The TXA range supports multiple or interchangeable load cells according to the selected model and application. The required load-cell capacities should be confirmed when ordering so the system can be configured and calibrated correctly.
The supplied brochure shows wedge, cylindrical, spherical and cutting probes, including 25 mm and 75 mm cylindrical options. Additional fixtures can be selected for compression, tensile, peel, puncture, penetration, shear and other test methods.
Yes. Typical food applications include gel and Bloom strength, dough consistency, bakery and confectionery products, dairy, meat, snacks, cake, biscuits and fruit testing. The probe and test program are chosen for the sample.
Yes. Applications include tablet hardness, capsule-shell strength, gelatin analysis, ointment adhesiveness, rubber-stopper penetration, hypodermic-needle piercing force and glass-ampoule strength when fitted with the appropriate fixture.
The platform supports texture, compression, tensile, adhesion, peel, tack, puncture, penetration, bending, shear and Bloom strength tests with the appropriate fixture and method.
Typical users include food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, adhesives, packaging, research institutes and industrial quality-control laboratories.
TXA50/S through TXA500/S list USB and Ethernet output with Ethernet VNC control. The TXA5000/S brochure additionally lists RS232 connectivity and compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The TXA5000/S brochure specifies Apple Texture Pro software with live force–time–distance plotting, secure data handling, reporting, password-protected access and audit trails. It is described in the brochure as 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
The TXA5000/S supports automatic calibration using certified weights. Calibration requirements for the selected model, load cell and test method should be agreed when the system is configured.
An optional PT100 temperature probe is listed for the TXA5000/S, covering −50°C to +300°C. Confirm whether temperature measurement is required so it can be included in the quoted configuration.
