Lab Master Loop Tack Tester
Designed for the precise measurement of adhesion, tack, quick stick and cohesion for adhesives, tapes and pressure sensitive labels.
The Lab Master Loop Tack Tester is designed for precise measurement of adhesion, tack, quick stick and cohesion. Force is measured to 0.1 gram resolution and 0.02% full scale accuracy. Thousands of data points per test are used to generate force/distance curves that reveal material behaviour during test.
Applications
Adhesives, Tapes and Pressure Sensitive Labels
Features
- User-selectable contact pressure, position, rate of separation and duration of test
- Display test results as numbers and curves
- Configure for R&D analysis or one-touch automated process control
- RS-232 output
- Includes Windows operating system and touch screen flat panel display in a compact, network ready unit
- Innovative design (patent pending) maintains accuracy over changing loads and frequent use
