Model: B0009

The Box Compression Tester is a floor-mounted machine designed to evaluate packages and material under compressive loads.

One platen is supplied with the machine measuring 1000mm x 800mm x 25mm which can be fixed or floated, as well as a base platen with the same dimensions. The Box Compression Tester uses a servo electric system to apply a precise linear motion and force.

Applications:
• Box Compression
• Stack Testing
• Multi-box Compression

Features:
• Four precision load cells are used to measure the applied force

• Precise linear transducer measures the test sample     deflection.

• Strong A-frame construction.

• Motor driven ball screws, for fast and accurate operation, reposition the crosshead assembly.
