Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester
Our line of Coefficient
of Friction Test instruments, can be configured to suit your individual
needs for economical, quality control testing of Friction properties
of film products. Each instrument is designed for ease of use and
maintenance, while meeting the standards for ASTM testing. Films,
Paper, and Foils can be tested with these instruments along with
Heat or Chemical Seals.
|
| In
the past, film and sheet producers and converters have
the choice of off-line Coefficient of friction (COF) testers
which are manually operated stand-alone machines, or expensive
computer-operated machines. Now you can have both in a
single instrument. FX-7000 is a simple to use analog-based
friction tester, and FX-7100 is a stand-alone digital-based
tester with optional software for automatic calculation
and graphical display of static and kinetic friction data. |

Options
and Accessories for Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester FX-7000
Series
- Variable
Speed models available upon request with speed range of
1-20 ipm ( Models FX-7000VS or FX-7100VS)
- Computer
system and software for statistical and graphical analysis
of friction data
- Standard
or custom systems designed to meet specific customer needs
|
| |
| COF,
Peel, Seal, and Tensile Tester Model FX-7100-VSC |
- Digital,
horizontal bed machine, similar to FX-7100 Series, with
a variable speed drive, capable of running a variety of
tests including COF, Peel, Seal, and Tensile up to 45 lb
(20 kg) force.
- The
bed utilizes a full ball-nut (rather than half-nut) allowing
it to perform higher force tests.
- Speed
range: 1 - 20 ipm
- Manual
Mechanical grips for Peel, Seal, Tensile, are included as
standard accessories.
- The
base machine will come complete with one digital force gauge.
A second force gauge could be added as option. If system
is to be run for Peel / Seal only or for Peel / Seal / Tensile
only, a larger capacity load cell would be recommended.
If COF would also be run, then a 2nd lower capacity load
cell should be ordered with the system.
