Coefficient of Friction Tester

The Coefficient of Friction Tester (Model No: AE-SK-TS-P) is a high-precision testing instrument specifically engineered to determine the static and dynamic friction of plastic films, sheets, and foils in strict accordance with ASTM D1894 standards. This robust machine is finished with a durable powder coating and features a high-performance 32-bit ADC Load Indicator, providing a fine resolution of 1 gram and a load accuracy of ± 1 gram. The system operates at a standard testing speed of 150 mm/min and utilizes a 200-gram sled, ensuring highly repeatable and accurate data for quality assurance in packaging and material manufacturing.

Product Overview

Designed for modern industrial environments, this COF Tester features an advanced Touch Screen interface that simplifies data entry and provides real-time system status updates. The system automates the entire testing process, with results being auto-calculated and displayed instantly on the screen, including peak load, average load, and friction coefficients. A unique highlight is the integrated standalone printer located directly on the machine, which generates comprehensive reports with graphical analysis of Force vs. Time. While it comes standard with a spring-load sample holding mechanism, it offers the flexibility of an optional vacuum bed and pump for more demanding testing applications.
