Pioneering viscometry since 1972 • Cosmetics industry • Packaging industry Paper and carton manufacturing • Packaging control FRICTION TESTER INCLINED PLANE (FTIP): A SIMPLE AND RELIABLE SYSTEM FOR SLIP RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT Sofraser’s FTIP, with its motorized, inclined platen, uses the simplest technology for the dynamic coefficient calculation of slip resistance measurement. The sample slips off the plate when the average dynamic frictional force (Fd) value is reached. The integrated electronic device automatically provides the angle at which this takes place and chronometers the amount of time it took for the sample to slip between two optical cells. Whatever your industry, we understand and develop solutions for many applications. For a personalized approach, contact us at [email protected] Reliable measurement: With its motorized platen, sensitive optical cells, and electronic angle and speed calculation, uncertainty is removed thus providing consistent slip measurement that follows manufacturing or packaging operations. Simple operation: Just prepare the samples, place them on the platen, and push the start button. The measurement is accomplished in a few seconds. Versatility: The two weight configurations and the adjustable optical sensors adapt to many sample sizes. Complete solution: The slip time and angle values determine the slipping coefficient. A corresponding formula integrated into the electronics provides directly the friction dynamic coefficient. Durable investment: Sofraser’s IPFT has non-wearing parts, boasts a robust design, requires minimal maintenance, and provides a rapid return on investment plus long-term profitability for many industries.
