Features
Direct Touch Color Screen
The direct-touch color screen allows the user to quickly change the test parameters (pressure, temperature and dwell time), and will automatically graph test results. Testing capabilities include heat sealing, heat seal testing & profiling, hot-tack testing and hot-tack profiling
Automatic sample loading
Automatic Sample Loading Tray
The automatic sample loading tray guarantees accurate test results by eliminating any chance of user inconsistencies in testing procedures. The automatic tray inserts the sample without variation and enhances safety

Excel Export
When used with Microsoft Excel ® the SL-10′s program can export test results and parameters to a spreadsheet automatically. This spreadsheet provides a graphical representation of the data, individual test results, averages, and calculates standard deviation for each test group. Available exporting scenarios include: Individual Overlay, Profile Overlay, Temperature Group Export, and Profile Export
External port
External Ports: Ethernet, Modem, Printer, Video Out, PS2 Mouse, 2 USB & Keyboard
The SL-10 is equipped with a variety of communication ports for fast and accurate reporting. Test results can be communicated by Ethernet or modem, or can be sent to an external printer. There are also convenient connections for external keyboard, mouse and monitor that assist the user in demonstrations to large groups
Benefits
The SL-10 Hot Tack Tester & Seal Tester’s touch-screen computer allows the operator to quickly change key parameters such as pressure, temperature and dwell time.
The built-in dual-load cells measure the actual force applied to the film. The computer controlled temperature is assured to +/-2 °F across the entire width of the film sample.
The SL-10 Hot Tack Tester & Seal Tester is equipped with a full-capacity computer that automatically compiles and graphs test results. The operator can easily recall and view stored test results. Printer and data ports allow the user to create reports and communicate information quickly and accurately.
