  1. Advance Coefficient Of Friction Tester Aft Hanatek

    Advance Coefficient Of Friction Tester Aft Hanatek
    The Hanatek Advanced Friction tester is the most comprehensive tool available for measuring the coefficient of friction of plastic film, printed cartons, packaging substrates or paper. This flexible instrument can also be used to measure and present the frictional values of any flat surface including rubber, flooring plastics textile and leather. In addition to providing static and dynamic slip values for a surface, the instrument allows the full friction force output to be displayed, stored and compared. This unique ability helps a manufacturer to relate the feeding and running speeds of a product to its surface characteristics. The instrument is available with optional extras to measure peel strength of adhesives, tear strength of substrates and the blocking of plastic films and coated cartons. It has a touch screen operation for quick and easy operation and automated sled lowering to comply with the latest friction standards. It can also connect to a network to allow results or printer sharing. The profile graph can be displayed in real time, static and dynamic COF figures are given at the end of the test. The instruments offers a user selectable test speed, distance and dwell time with a choice of sled weights. The online graphical help ensures consistent operation within test methods. An interactive help routines ensure little training is required to operate this device. The instrument is pre loaded with ASTM TAPPI ISO methods with the ability to create bespoke tests.
