Supports Coefficient of Friction (COF) Calculation and Software Settings Compliant Automatic Calculation and Display of Static and Average Kinetic Coefficients of Friction • By presetting parameters such as the weight of the load (mass) and the calculation range, the static coefficient of friction and the average kinetic coefficient of friction are automatically calculated and displayed after the friction force measurement. Since the same settings can be applied repeatedly, this improves the efficiency of post-measurement analysis. Sled Weight • The calculated coefficient of friction can be exported...

Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Supports automatic conversion to peel strength units and software settings compliant with packaging industry standards Automatically converts and displays force values in peel strength units. • By preconfiguring parameters such as sample width, conversion units, and calculation ranges, the measurement results are automatically converted and displayed in the specified peel strength units (e.g., N/10 mm). The vertical axis of the graph can also be displayed in peel strength units. Sample Width • The converted peel strength...

Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Supports automatic display of switch characteristics—such as click rate— and software settings compliant with relevant standard Automatically detects and calculates push-button switch characteristics, such as click rates • Switch characteristic parameters—such as operating force, bottom reaction force, and click rate—are automatically detected, calculated, and displayed. When force-displacement graphs are generated, switch characteristics in both the pressing and releasing directions can be displayed. • The detected and...

Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Automatic conversion of force values into pressure units and displacement into stretchability Measurement data are automatically converted and displayed as pressure (Force per unit area) as well as stretchability and stretchability rate. • By presetting the area (such as the contact area with the sample or the cross-sectional area) and the conversion units, measured force values are automatically converted and displayed in the specified pressure units. In addition, by presetting the initial length or height of the sample,...

IMADA CO., LTD.Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Automatic calculation of spring rates for compression springs, tension springs, and disc springsSpring Rate Measurement Module • This is an additional function exclusively for Force Recorder Next Professional and can be used only when force-displacement graphs are plotted. • This additional function is recommended to be used in combination with the Additional Function: Deflection Correction Function (page 7). Automatic calculation and display of spring rates from measurement data Graph Na Standard Deviation...

IMADA CO., LTD.Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Corrects displacement errors to display more accurate force-displacement data • This is an additional function exclusively for Force Recorder Next Professional and can be used only when force-displacement graphs • The corrected, more accurate displacement values are reflected in the measurement results. • Deflection correction information can be exported to reports and CSV files. • This function can be used simultaneously with other additional functions. (Combination Examples) * Up to one additional function...

Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Automatically displays up to seven peak values extracted from measurement data Displays peak value information for up to seven peaks in graphs with multiple peaks. • In addition to the first and last peak values, force value data for the peak detected at the specified nth occurrence (up to five can be specified) are displayed. Along with peak value information, peak ratios (last/first and minimum/maximum) and the total number of peaks are also displayed automatically. ◄This function allows changes in the sample to be easily...

Additional Functions for Downloadable Force Recorder Next Series Software Automatically searches for specified values on the graph Automatically searches for corresponding data on the graph by specifying force values, time, or displacement value. • The software automatically identifies and displays the time or displacement at which a specified force is reached, as well as the force at a specified time or displacement. Up to four search values can be specified, enabling efficient analysis of measurement data. *If the specified value is detected multiple times, the first detected value is displayed...
