TQC Sheen LinQ system

The TQC Sheen LinQ System (AB4510) is a powerful connectivity and automation module designed to integrate your TQC Sheen laboratory instruments with our software, data systems, and automated workflows. Built for coatings, paints, and materials testing environments, LinQ gives you full external control of compatible instruments—helping you streamline testing, reduce manual steps, and accelerate your QC processes.

Engineered as a Universal Lab Controller (ULC) interface, the LinQ system enables seamless communication between your equipment and your PC or data platform. Once connected via USB, LinQ allows you to send commands, automate movements, adjust settings, and capture data directly from your test instruments. This level of integration helps eliminate operator variability and ensures consistent, repeatable test execution across your lab.

The system supports a wide range of TQC Sheen devices through its dual TQC Sheen Bus ports, making it easy to connect multiple instruments or expand your setup over time. The communication protocol is robust and reliable, using structured request/response packets with CRC‑32 error checking to ensure data integrity. With fast response times and built‑in timeout handling, LinQ is designed for dependable performance in demanding laboratory environments.

Whether you’re automating washability testing, film application, flexibility testing, or other coatings‑related workflows, the LinQ system helps you significantly reduce testing times and improve data accuracy. A demo application and source code are available for developers who want to build custom integrations or advanced automation routines.

With simple installation, full remote operation, and compatibility with third‑party applications, the TQC Sheen LinQ System is an essential tool for modernizing your lab and unlocking the full potential of your TQC Sheen testing equipment.
