Loads are exposed to different compressive forces, both vertical and lateral, during handling, warehouse automatic storage and transport. The innPress family provides the necessary information for packaging characterization and design.

Several international standards like ISTA, ASTM or EN, include compression tests in their testing protocols.

COMPRESSION TESTERS FEATURES:

• Electric machine.
• Maximum compression forces up to 200kN.
• Stroke up to 2.400 mm.
• Testing table in different sizes.
• Variable compression speed: 5-200 mm/min.
• Load accuracy: <0.5%.
• Position accuracy: <0.1 mm.
• Testing data in real time.
• Intuitive controller.
• Different testing modes preset:
  • Constant rate.
  • Apply and hold.
  • Apply and release.

• Automatic report generator.

Optional:

• Can be installed inside climatic chamber (under request).
• Fixed or floating platten
• Accessories for ISO 8611
