Automated Cornell Type Tester by IDM

The Cornell Type Tester is used to test the long term capacity of bedding to resist cyclic loading.  The machine consists of a double hemispherical ram head on an adjustable shaft.  A load cell is located at the ram head to measure the force being applied to the bedding.

IDM has designed a Fully Automated Cornell Type Tester (model C0044-M2) which features:
  • PC & Operator Prompted Software
  • Adjustable Ram Head
  • Load Cell Capacity: 500lbF (2200N)
  • Multiple safety features
  • Printable Data Sheets and Data Storage
  • Real-time / remote PC and operational support by IDM via TeamViewer, Skype and other available sources
The ram head is automatically lowered so that the load/position data can be recorded for a few cycles.  This procedure is automatically performed at the start of the test and the subsequently at the end of each of the stages.



Our unique software offers automatic and/or manually adjustable parameters and a two page colour report is generated for printing.  Reports include both Load Deformation Results Graph and Cyclic Load Limit Characteristics and an Analysis Sheet.

IDM can assist with installation and training of this equipment upon request. Contact us for more information.

Portable Foam Compression Tester from IDM

MINIFLEX CLD Why measure foam hardness?   All foamers measure the density of their product. Not all foamers, however, measure foam hardness. Foam hardness has a major influence on the comfort factor of the furniture, bedding or automotive product in which it is used. Variation in hardness is one of the most common complaints from customers. Trying to judge the hardness of a foam sample by hand-feel is almost impossible. Every person will have a different opinion. To ensure consistent Quality Control of foam production, it is necessary to have an industry recognised foam hardness test procedure that will give an accurate, recordable value. The foam industry measures foam hardness by various different tests. These can be grouped as either ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) or CLD (Compression Load Deflection) type tests. The test procedure first measures the thickness of the foam sample (pre-load). It is then compressed 3 times to 30% of its original t

IDM's Crease & Stiffness Tester model C0039 and Cutter model C0016 has been released by IDM Instruments and comes in a new design. IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Benefits of Crease & Stiffness Testers include: ■ Consistency ■ Increased productivity ■ Decrease in waste material ■ Profit growth IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Now available with standard RS232 and software, the IDM Crease and stiffness tester can automatically capture the output of results to a PC where stiffness/crease ratios can be calculated, test results saved, and test reports created and printed. This makes the CST even more easy to use with accurate precision results.
