The Hanatek Advanced Friction tester is the most comprehensive tool available for measuring the coefficient of friction of plastic film, printed cartons, packaging substrates or paper. This flexible instrument can also be used to measure and display the frictional values of any flat surface including rubber, flooring plastics textile and leather. In addition to providing static and dynamic slip values for a surface, the instrument allows the full friction force output to be displayed, stored and compared. This unique ability helps a manufacturer to relate the feeding and running speeds of a product to its surface characterisitcs. The instrument is availabe with optional extras to measure peel strength of adhesives, tear strength of substrates and the blocking of plastic films and coated cartons.Feature
- Touch screen operation for quick, easy operation
- Automated sled lowering to comply with latest friction standards
- Connect to a network to allow results or printer sharing
- Profile graph displayed in real time, static and dynamic COF figures given at the end of the test
- User selectable test speed, distance and dwell time. Choice of sled weights
- On-line graphical help ensures consistant operation within test methods
- Interactive help routines ensure little training required to operate device
- Pre loaded with ASTM/TAPPI/ISO methods with the ability to create bespoke tests
- Optional Attachments for measuring: Tear strength, Peel strength (90ºand 180º) and Blocking characteristics.
- ISO 15359 testing attachment means no sample contamination during preparation and testing.

Who measures slip/friction?
Friction testing is used in the packaging industry to measure the slippyness of a product, with the aim of predicting feeding and runnning speed on an automatic gluing, erecting, filling or packaging line.
