The B0007 - Box Opening Tester has been designed to measure the opening force of flat stacked carton boxes. The Box Opening Pressure Tester is used for the Development and Quality Control of cartons during production, therefore speeding up production set-up time. After the unit is switched on for a test it will go to a predetermined depth and return to a stand-by position. The maximum pressure needed to open the box is locked in the digital display for evaluation.   For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The C0044- Cornell Type Tester has been designed and manufactured for testing and evaluating of Innerspring , Boxspring and Foam mattresses . There are several different methods used for the evaluation of innersprings and boxsprings, testing for measurements regarding firmness, firmness retention, durability, effect of impact etc. 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 a manually adjustable shaft. A load cell is located on the ram head to measure the force being applied to the mattress. The Cornell Type Tester meets to the following standards: ASTM 1566 American Innerspring Manufacturers (AIMA)   For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The B0008 - Bedding Impact Tester has been designed and manufactured to perform various tests and evaluations of Innerspring , Boxspring and Foam mattresses , as well as Chairs , Cushions and other similar products. The machine consists of a 79.5 ± 1kg platen, which drops down and impacts the test specimen from various heights as selected by the operator. This allows comparison of results obtained by impacts from different heights. The machine can be used to impact any locations on the specimen, including middle areas, corners and edges to compare performance of both inner and outer components. The machine operates by testing each product at the same position, once a location is set for comparison. The Bedding Impact Tester meets to the following standards: ASTM F1566 American Innerspring Manufacturers (AIMA) For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The Box Compression Tester is a floor-mounted machine designed to evaluate packages and material under compressive loads. It can be used for Box Compression, Stack Testing and Multi-box Compression. Unlike other machines, the Box Compression Tester uses a servo electric system to apply a precise linear motion and force. The maximum test area is 1000mm x 800mm x 1200mm with the machine weighing at just under 55Kg and having an overall height of 2312mm. The machine also comes complete with software that allows users to create and store different testing procedures and cycle times.   Standards: • AS130-1-800s • ASTM D642 • ASTM D4169 • TAPPI T804 • ISO 12048:1994 * Other standards available upon request For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

Weighing at just under 15kg , this bench mounted Extensiometer is the perfect measuring tool for woven and knitted fabrics. The methods of tests in this standard are applicable to woven, and to warp-knitted fabrics. They are particularly applicable to stretch fabrics such as are obtained by the use of elastomeric fibres or bulked yarns, or by a process such as slack mercerisation A specimen of standard dimensions is stretched by applying a specified load. The extension is observed and the tension removed. The length of the unstretched specimen is observed after recovery. Standards: • BS 4952 For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

Introducing the world's smallest string pot! The new M150 string pot has a range of 1.5 inches, fits into tiny spaces and is the perfect position sensing solution for a variety of applications such as robotics, biomedical, aerospace testing and automotive applications.   Size and Durability The M150 transducer's aluminium body measures just .74 x .74 x .38 inches and uses a .014-inch diameter nylon-coated stainless steel measuring cable. The M150 offers extremely durable construction and a high degree of reliability, with constant tension and fully retractable stainless steel measuring cable that easily attaches to the object under motion. Installation is quick and easy since cable alignment is not a requirement for efficient and effective use. The movement of the M150's internal spring-loaded spool turns the potentiometer which, when connected to a voltage source, produces a voltage directly proportional to the position of the measuring cable.   Engineering T
