Box Compression Tester 25kN 17-40-00 AT model Box Compression Tester model AT with integrated PC with touch screen control and software dedicated to testing corrugated board boxes and cartons. The Box Compression Tester is a four column, heavy duty tester designed to determine the compressive forces which a transport case is subjected-either in transit or stacked in a warehouse. Boxes can be tested to complete collapse or held automatically at predetermined load for a given period to evaluate stacking loads. The construction of the tester is 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. Machine Features • Max Load Capacity 25kN (2549 kg, 5620 lb) • Units of compression may be selected in N, kgf or lbf • Four averaging load cells • Load cell accuracy better than 0.5% of indicated value • Repeatability and reproducibility is ensured by the use of four guide columns maintaining platen parallelism • RS232 serial data output • Auto loading range is 40 N to 25kN and boxes up to 1m3 can be accommodated • Speed Range is digitally selected from 0.1 mm/min to 500 mm/min • Cycling between preset loads or extension limits may be conducted. • Test modes: Constant Deflection and Constant Load • Applications in Corrugated boxes and Cartons • Integrated industrial PC with touch-screen SPECIFICATIONS Model AT 17-40-00-0001 Max load capacity 25 kN (2549 kg, 5620 lb) Max Stroke 1000 mm Speed range 0.1 to 500 mm/min Number of Columns 4 Platen size 1000 x 1000 mm Electrical supply 110.120, 220, 240v 1ph, 50 or 60 Hz Accuracy BS EN ISO 7500:1 Grade 1 Weight 820 kg (1808 lbs) Load Range 40 N to 25kN (4 kg to 2549 kg) (9 lb to 5620 lb) Overall dimensions W x D x H 1420 mm x 1020 mm x 2000 mm 56 in x 40 in x 79 in Standards BS 1610:1985 Grade 0.5, DIN 51221 class 1 and ASTM E-4
