| Score Bend and Score Quality Test Systems | ||||||
| Our score bend test fixture is designed to operate with most vertical force test stands that can interface with an external switch contact input. As a complete tester this integration is completed with the Lloyd and Mark-10 test stands. The test fixture is designed to meet TAPPI T577 test specification for 90° bend tests used to test fiber board materials and plastics. The low friction bearings and non-contact stop switch allow for the most accurate readings possible with this style of fixture. Pneumatic clamping of the test material is standard and is controlled with the hand operated switch or optional foot switch. As a complete system, the score bend test system is available in two performance levels | ||||||

| Basic Score Quality Tester In this class of tester the user sets lower travel limits and upper travel limits through physical stops. Normally, with this type of test, limits do not require further adjustment when different thickness material s are tested. In some cases the up or down button must be held closed manually for tester motion. Score quality ratios are not automatically calculated and can be done manually or with an optional software wedge that allows the user send data into a windows based program to perform the arithmetic function and documentation. |

SQ-MTB is a Mark-10 system based on the ESM303 and the up or down button is pressed and released to run in that direction. Speed and travel points are easily set to meet the requirements of TAPPI T829. SQ-CLB is a Chatillon system based on the LTCM-100. Speed and travel stops are easily set to meet the requirements of TAPPI T829. The up or down button ismanually held closed to maintain motion is either direction. The large working area is beneficial when many samples are being tested. The gauge and test stand are provided with overload protection and have electronic data output capabilities. Various capacity gauges can be installed; however 25 lbf and 50 lbf are most common. Cycle Control option adds functionality to the tester. When it is added to the tester a push and release of the up or down button is all that is required to maintain motion until a limit is reached. A single cycle mode can also be selected allow a complete test and return to start with only one push and release of the up or down control button.

| Intermediate Quality Score Tester In this class of tester the user the tester is configured to travel until the force drops defining the end of the test and then returns to the start position. With this method the test cycle time is reduce because the additional time the Basic Score Quality Tester requires to run to the mechanical limit is eliminated. Score quality ratios are not automatically calculated and can be done manually or with an optional software wedge that allows the user send data into a windows based program to perform the arithmetic function and documentation. |

SQ-CSI is based on the Chatillon CS2-225 Tester. The CS2-225 is a highly configurable system that provides one button test operation. Data is stored on the onboard touch tablet or sent to a remote file locaiton making saving, archiving, and exporting data easy. Two test profiles are included to meet the requirements of TAPPI T829. Although score quality is not calculated, the average for scored and unscored is and held in separate files. |

| Advanced Quality Score Tester In this class of tester the user the tester is configured to travel until the force drops defining the end of the test and then returns to the start position. With this method the test cycle time is reduce because the additional time the Basic Score Quality Tester requires to run to the mechanical limit is eliminated. Travel to a distance from the surface is also an option. This is a software driven system and requires a computer for control. Tests are run on both scored and unscored material and the averages and score ratio are automatically calculated and stored in a table. The software also include real time force-displacement graphing that can be a tool for trouble shooting material problems. |

 SQ-LSA |
SQ-LSA is based on the Lloyd LS1 Tester. The LS1 is a highly configurable material test system that provides one button test operation from a computer. Data is stored in a the software file in tabular format and can easily exported to other windows applications. The software include a report generator powered through Microsoft Word that can automatically generate a material report with the necessary information including your company logo. The test profile included meets the requirements of TAPPI T829 and provides score quality ratio automatically. This system uses plug and play load cells that are electronically protected from accidental over loading in all but the most extreme case. Included are quick disconnect fittings that combined with the multiple program storage make this tester usable for virtually all types of compression and tensile tests. Various capacity load cells can be installed, however, 100 Newton is the most common. Options: • Desk top computer • Laptop computer |
