CF-800XS Precision Friction Tester
Touch Screen Precision Friction Tester for determining Static and Kinetic Friction of packaging materials to ASTM, BS, ISO and TAPPI standards
Testing to ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T549 and BS2782-824A, and more.
Description
The CF-800XS Precision Friction Tester is a dedicated flat bed (horizontal) test instrument for measuring static and Kinetic coefficient of friction, as well as peel strength, tear strength and low force tensile strength. The CF-800XS includes the latest technology to ensure accurate measurements and a range of options to extend its testing capability. An intelligent controller and touchscreen user interface stores multiple test methods for later recall, making the CF-800XS ideal for use in production, quality control and R&D labs.
The successful processing of flexible films or paper and board is largely dependent on the correct coating of ‘SLIP’ additives applied to the material. The successful forming of the material requires easy sliding or flow over formers on the packaging machine where at high speed acute angles can change the direction of flow to produce a tube or pouch. The application of ink on the film, will cause the properties of slip to change, therefore the need for a precision friction tester is paramount.
Overview
