17-40 Box Compression Tester 25kN - AT
INTRODUCTION
The Box Compression Tester is a four column, heavy duty tester designed to determine the compressive forces which a transport case is subjected-either in transit or stacked in a warehouse. Boxes can be tested to complete collapse or held automatically at predetermined load for a given period to evaluate stacking loads.
The construction of the tester is rigid moving platen driven by 4 recirculating ballscrews Platen parallelism better than 1:4000. Load readings are taken from an average of 4 balanced load cells to compensate for the effect of any off centre loading.
APPLICATIONS
Corrugated boxes
