Smoothness of Plastic Film Tester film paper surface friction coefficient tester TAPPI T815 ISO 8295

Product Description:

Introducing the COF-01 Coefficient of Friction Tester, an indispensable tool for measuring the smoothness and friction coefficients of various materials. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industries such as packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, and more, this advanced tester ensures precise measurements of both static and kinetic coefficients of friction, empowering businesses to optimize their processes and enhance product quality.

Background: Understanding the coefficient of friction is paramount in industries where materials interact with machinery or packaging components. With a lower coefficient indicating smoother surfaces requiring less force for movement and a higher coefficient representing greater resistance, precise measurement becomes crucial. Our COF-01 Tester addresses this need by offering accurate assessments, facilitating informed decision-making in material selection and process optimization.

Application: Versatility is a hallmark of the COF-01, capable of testing a wide array of materials including plastic films, rubber, paper, fabrics, coatings, and more. Whether assessing the slipperiness of packaging materials or evaluating the performance of brake pads and shoe materials, this tester provides invaluable insights into material behavior across diverse applications. Moreover, its adaptability allows for customization to meet specific testing requirements, ensuring comprehensive analysis and compliance with industry standards such as ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T816, and GB 10006.

Formula: The COF is calculated by dividing the force required to move one surface across another by the perpendicular force between the surfaces. This fundamental formula, μ = f ÷ N, underpins the measurement of both static (μs) and kinetic (μd) coefficients of friction, offering a comprehensive understanding of material interactions and performance characteristics.

Technical Features:

1. Precision Control: Employing PLC control and an intuitive HMI touch screen interface, the COF-01 ensures ease of operation and reliable performance.
2. Robust Design: Built with industrial-grade components including a stepper motor and precision ball lead screw, this tester guarantees stability and longevity even in demanding environments.
3. Real-time Monitoring: With real-time test curve display and automatic recording of test results, users can monitor performance parameters with precision and confidence.
4. Comprehensive Analysis: Capable of measuring both static and kinetic coefficients of friction, the COF-01 provides a holistic view of material behavior, enabling informed decision-making.
5. Standards Compliance: Meeting stringent industry standards, including ASTM D1894 and ISO 8295, ensures reliability and accuracy in test results.
6. Integrated Printing: Featuring a dot matrix microprinter, this tester enables convenient documentation of test data for further analysis and record-keeping.
7. Durable Construction: The test plane, constructed entirely from aluminum, offers durability and stability during testing procedures.
8. Data Management: With RS232 output and optional professional software, users can seamlessly integrate test data into their workflow for comprehensive analysis and reporting.
9. User-friendly Interface: Supporting local language display and customizable settings, the COF-01 caters to diverse user preferences and requirements, enhancing usability and accessibility.
