Coefficient of Friction Tester

Coefficient of Friction Tester

Coefficient of Friction testing is extensively used in the packaging industry to measure the "slippyness" of a product, with the aim of predicting feeding and running speed on an automatic gluing, erecting, filling or packaging line. This extremely easy to use instrument has been manufactured to determine the static and kinetic friction of plastic film, sheeting, paper and other sheeted material. The Coefficient of Friction Tester can measure Static COF from a resting position and continue to move testing surfaces in a relative motion to give an accurate kinetic COF result. This COF Tester employs a stationary sled with a moving plane. The test head automatically returns to the start position after testing is complete.
