L&W Bending Tester Code 160 L&W Bending Tester measures a material’s resistance to bending. This can be done either by measuring the force needed to bend a test piece to a predetermined angle, or by measuring and determining the bending stiffness, which is an elastic property of the material. Bending resistance and stiffness affects the product performance in many converting operations and is important in handling and protection purposes of packaging products. Unique features L&W Bending Tester is quick and easy to use. The instrument is controlled through pushing one button on the instrument panel. The most common configu rations are pre-set at the factory. It has some unique features: x
Automated testing sequence to minimize the operator influence.
Pneumatic clamping, for better repeatability.
x x
Retractable support, for perfectly horizontal positioning of samples.
x Automatic touch; no manual adjustment of load cell knife to the test piece is needed. x Faster testing and operator independent measurements. x Will always measures at exact required angle. x Large, easy-to-read display x Integrated printer which automatic print-out the test results x Report all angles during one measurement x Statistics x Result on computer output x PC- program “plot2XL” to receive data from instrument and to send it to Microsoft Excel Measures creaseability too Creasability evaluation using L&W Bending Tester code 160: a crease prevents board surface from cracking during box folding. Well defined folding lines, which facilitate the folding operation Creasing variables • the height and width of the creasing ruler • groove width • matrix thickness • the accuracy and the hardness of the make -ready • the pressure of the die -cutter • paperboard thickness • type of paperboard Edward Wallis Area Sales Manager Lorentzen & Wettre and KPM Products Mobile: +33 677 105 938 Email: edward.wallis@fr.abb.com Web site: https://new.abb.com
