Wide Frame Machine for Testing Foam and Seating

Description

The automotive and furniture industries make extensive use of foam in their products for comfort and safety. This is a specially designed wide frame machine for testing foam and seating, with custom internal software that allows multiple stage cyclic and indentation hardness testing.

Force Measurements

Universally Calibrated, better than Grade 0.5 EN 7500-1, DIN 51221 ASTM E-4. AFNOR A03-501. Range 0.4% to 100% minimum. Automatic identification of load cell. Resolution 1 part in 500000 with autoranging. Electronic load cell protection.

Extension Measurements

Full frame length to 0.001 mm. Resolution 0.001 min. Accuracy 0.01 mm. Absolute, relative and auxiliary modes mm, inch and percent. Programmable extension limits.

Speed Control

Drive system temperature and current protection. Positional jog speed 0.001 mm/min to maximum. Speed setting increments 0.001 mm/min.

Load Frame

Rigid frame, using dual slide crosshead guidance system and rigid extruded support column. Frame stiffness 5 kN/mm plus K factor facility built-in. Re-circulating ball screw with bellows. Electronic limit trips, total travel trips and customer programmable safety stops. Rubber mat front protection.

Software

This system runs on the comprehensive winTest™ Analysis universal windows software. This complete package covers tensile, compression, peel, shear, tear, cyclic, creep and multi stage testing. It also comes with a large range of industry standard test methods as well as the ability to program and store as many custom testing methods as necessary.

All data produced from testing is automatically stored and can easily be transferred to other processing software such as word, excel, access and SPC systems, enabling enhanced report generation.
