Mechanical test stand measures force precisely
0odular bench top mechanical test stands are intended for accurate force gauge testing up to 500lb (2.2kN) force.
This precision engineered fixture consists of a small upper spring loaded wedge grip to hold the film cover and a horizontal sliding bed with a 'dish holder'.
A vacuum system is used to grip the food container securely into position.
This advance capability not only ensures accurate results and data reproducibility, but also safety during testing.
The current system handles containers measuring 120 mm (4.724 in) in diameter, however additional holders may be designed to accommodate containers of other shapes and dimensions.
The TG 5093 was designed specifically for a major international food production company.
It has a 500 N (112 lbs) force capacity and fits easily onto the company's latest LF, LR or 'Plus' ranges of low force universal testing machines.
