Model MT-522 Force Tester with 100 kg (220 lb) Digital Force Gauge

MT-500 Motorized Force Test Systems

Full-Featured Force Test Stands for Film and Paper - ASTM D882, ASTM D3354

MT-500 Motorized Force Test System

In the past, film and paper producers and converters have had the choice of test stands and universal test machines which are either value-priced peak-force-only machines, or expensive computer-operated integral-load cell machines. Now you can have the best of both worlds in a single instrument. The MT-500 Series is a simple to use stand-alone console operated tester, with optional Quality Control software for automatic calculation and graphical display of break, elongation, yield, modulus, and other tension and compression force information.

Improved Film & Paper Quality, Increased Profit Margins

The MT-500 Series Force Test Stand is a proven tool for more closely controlling nominal and peak strength and elongation characteristics to speed your:

Research and development of new film and paper products
Inspection of incoming film and paper products
In-process checks to ensure on-spec product for converting operations
Quality-control reporting

Advantages

Meets ASTM D882 Standard Test Method for Tensile Testing of Plastic Film and ASTM D3354 for Blocking Testing of Plastic Film and Sheet.

Easy, Error-free Operation – Two Modes of Operation: Operate as a stand-alone, manual system or operate in Digital/Software mode using MT-500 Force Test Software to automatically calculate force values.

Expandable; Industry-Leading Software: Portable and expandable with optional software, printers and computer system. A computer is required for operation in the Digital/Software mode. Advanced software for display/hard-copy reporting of statistical and graphical analysis of data including yield, elongation, break strength, modulus, and friction values.

Affordable: Best of all, the MT-500 Series is economically priced.

Unique, Modular Design: Test Stand can be set up with Force Gauge mounted on the front of the column for easy access for strip testing, or with Force Gauge mounted to the right of the column for access to the large working table area for testing.

Options and Accessories: Computer system and Model MT-500 Quality Control Software for statistical and graphical analysis of force data. Options for COF testing, Peel, Seal Strength testing, Blocking testing, Pneumatic, Mechanical Grips and Accessories.
