Features

• Automatic sled placement with variable dwell time for the most repeatable static slip results. Eliminate errors associated with manual sled placement by operator

• Fixed link between the sled and the load cell for compliance to latest standards
• Easy load sled for fast sample preparation
• Simple mechanical sample clamp

• Touch sensitive buttons for quick, easy operation
• Pre-loaded with test parameters for ASTM 1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T549 & ISO 15359 methods with the ability to create bespoke tests in seconds
• User selectable test speed, distance and dwell time
• Automatic calculation of static and dynamic coefficient of friction with profile graph displayed at the end of the test
• Choice of sled weights (200/600/800g)
• Choice of sled reference material (aluminium, ceramic, steel, stainless steel). Suitable for film to metal test
• Results output to optional label printer detailing: Test values for COF static and dynamic, summary of test parameters used, date / time stamped
• ISO 15359 testing attachment means no sample contamination during preparation and testing
