15 & 25 mm widthW070530.00.00 During the storage of packedgoods, the packaging is subject
to load variations in stacking and
removal operations. They are also
subject to static force changes
created in transport. Therefore,
testing is performed so that
packaging can be manufactured
that can withstand long term elastic
form changes. The limit of the
elastic deformation (Proportionality
Load) is measured as follows:•the maximum slope on the force-deformation curve is determined•from the maximum, a slopedeclination of x % is defined
in the direction of the tests end•the load found here is theapplicable Proportionality

and does not end at the processor
for Zwick. Suppliers and endusers also profit from Zwick/Roell
solutions. A partial list of potential
canidates for this equipment
would be, suppliers who must test
their chemicals on finished paper,
printers who must optimise the

industrial saw W070600.00.00 Specimen preparation is criticalto obtaining good results.The
factors that effect creating a
good specimen are, clean cuts
perpendicular to the specimen,
parallelism, service life of cutters,
and speed. Zwick/Roell has
partners that specialize in
manufacturing high quality
cutting units. Figures 52 to 55 show a
