Three generations of innovation. One powerful new platform

Every laboratory faces the same challenge: balancing accuracy, throughput, flexibility, and consistency while testing an increasingly diverse range of samples.

What if you didn't have to compromise?

Introducing the CAV™ 5 Family, Cannon Instrument Company's most advanced automated viscometry platform ever developed.

Built from the proven foundations of the CAV 2100, miniAV^®, and CAV^® 4, the new CAV 5 Family combines decades of innovation into a single platform designed to help laboratories work smarter, scale faster, and achieve greater confidence in every result.

Whether you're running routine production samples, adapting to changing testing requirements, or tackling the most challenging materials, the CAV 5 Family gives you the flexibility to choose the system that fits your workflow while maintaining the accuracy and reliability Cannon is known for worldwide.

At the heart of every CAV 5 system is Cannon's direct ASTM D445 gravity-based measurement technology, providing a simple and trusted path to kinematic viscosity results. Combined with intelligent automation, advanced thermal management, and centralized laboratory control through Sync Anywhere™ powered by FlowHub™, the CAV 5 platform helps reduce operator intervention, improve consistency, and simplify laboratory operations.

The family includes three distinct configurations:

• CAV-D delivers dependable, high-throughput testing for routine laboratory workflows.
• CAV-X provides flexible configuration options that grow alongside changing testing requirements.
• CAV-R offers maximum capability for demanding applications, difficult samples, and advanced laboratory environments.

Innovations such as Carousel Heat, TargetHeat™, WashPort™, Vial Wash, Run True™, and Start Optimization work together to improve sample handling, streamline cleaning, and provide greater confidence across a broader range of applications than ever before.

The result is more than a new instrument.

It's a new approach to automated viscometry.

One platform. Any sample. Total control.

Discover how the new CAV 5 Family can help your laboratory improve efficiency, standardize testing, and achieve reliable viscosity measurements with confidence.
