CF800-XS Coefficient of 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. 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 to measure and control Coefficient of Friction is paramount. Accuracy and versatility in testing is vital, and the CF800-XS provides the technology and range of options to deliver for your specific needs. An intelligent controller and touch screen user interface stores multiple settings for later recall, and controls settings to ensure calibrated accuracy to international testing standards. Benefits: Versatility to meet ASTM, BS, ISO and TAPPI standards Integral controller and data analysis for stand alone use in laboratory and production environments, optional pc data acquisition Convenient built in graphical display of test data and trends over multiple samples Simple test set up and memory of settings for later recall makes switching between methods fast Low Maintenance - 12 months between calibrations Features: 5.7" touch screen controller for precise control and measurement of force, distance and speed Memory recipe function for quick and accurate recall of settings Vacuum suction across the test bed for fast clamping of test material Optional heated test bed for determination of 'Hot Slip' values.
