What is the Carton Compression Tester ?
This computer control Carton Compression Tester uses high-precision force sensor to test the resistance value of pressure and display it directly. The most direct equipment for testing the pressure resistance of containers made of cardboard or other materials. It is used to determine the cargo capacity and stacking height of the carton. It is suitable for the compression and holding test of various packages and cartons.
A. Feature
1. Speed range: 0.001-500mm/min (adjustable).
2. After the test, it will automatically store and return to the origin.
3. Data transmission: RS232 transmission.
4. Test space: test width≈1600mm; board travel space≈1600mm.
5. Displacement: Encoder 1000 P/R, 4 times better accuracy.
6. With LINE DRIVE encoder with anti-interference ability and strong displacement analysis 0.001mm.
7. Safety device: overload emergency stop device, upper and lower stroke limit device, leakage automatic power off system, automatic interrupt stop function.
8. Manual control mode: increase the manual operation box.
9. Power system: servo motor + servo drive + worm gear reducer + ball.
Box Compression Tester (Computer Model) is capable of various functions for all parameters in standards, Such as parametric test, display, memory, statistics and print function; data processing function to gain the statistical result of all parameters directly; and automatic reset and fault diagnosis function and easy operation.
B. Factors affecting the test：
1. Moisture in the box and in the environment
2. Handling of the box before the test
3. Flutes in the corrugated board
4. BCT test De Jong Packaging
5. Is the box printed or plain
6. Factors affecting the test
7. Construction of the box
8. Contents of the box
9. Size of the box
C. About Box Compression Test (BCT) Strength
Estimates the BCT of a regular slotted container (RSC) for a moment with flutes positioned vertically. (Note that BCT is not stacking strength, which is the maximum load a box can handle throughout the distribution cycle.)
Box Compression Test (BCT)=k1∗ECT×h∗Z−−−−√Reference Mckee formula (simplified version) Where:k1=a constant value of 5.87h= Corrugated FiberBoard (CFB) thickness (inches) Z= box perimeter (inches) = 2(L+W)
A BCT test stands for Box Compression Test and this is used to test the compressive strength of a box. This lab is maintained under strict conditions,the boxes tested during a BCT test are placed between two steel plates, and they push with an increasing pressure to each other. At one moment the box crashes and this is the moment you know your BCT value.
How to maintain the box compression testing machine
The carton compression tester will rust, precision error and other problems after a long time of use, which belong to the reason for not doing a good job of maintenance of the instrument.
Therefore, Ulabester sort out some of the carton compression testing machine maintenance methods for your reference.
Maintenance :
1. LCD Model Box Compression Strength Tester must use the specified power supply and correct grounding.
2. Use the fuse within the specified limit.
3. failure, the operator to check and eliminate, can not run with disease.
4. Lubricate all moving parts from time to time.
5. if the printing paper roll is used up or the handwriting is not clear, replace the printing paper roll or ribbon.
6. Properly add oil to the transmission chain. The oil should not be too much.
7. The two drive screw to maintain proper lubrication, lubricating oil with specified mechanical oil, refueling must be removed from the two columns at the opening of the dust cover.
8. The working environment is kept clean and hygienic.
9. In order to keep the machine in good technical condition, periodic verification is carried out.
