| Description |
Box compression tester with computer control from external PC and software dedicated to testing corrugated board boxes and cartons. |
Crosshead guidance |
Linear slides integral within column |
| Construction |
Rigid Moving platen driven by 4 recirculating ballscrews. Platen parallelism better than 1:4000. Load readings are taken from an average of 4 balanced load cells to compensate for the effect of any off centre loading. |
