The TMI Group, which supplies laboratory testing systems to the corrugated industry, has launched the Model 17-76 crush tester.
The Model 17-76 meets all ISO, TAPPI and other international standards for measuring crush strength of corrugated board and medium.
An enhanced microprocessor design with servo motor provides precision position control for repeatable instrument performance.
An intuitive control panel and large 5.7in colour display allows easy operation of the testing sequence.
Advanced software offers test method selection for popular testing standards, including tests for RCT, CMT, CCT, PAT, FCT, stacking height and peak force.
System software also includes seven languages as a standard feature.
The unit uses the same robust mechanical frame design as the existing TMI Model 17-70 crush tester, which allows an easy electronic upgrade from the 17-70 to the 17-76 series.
