The MT3A is the solution for high-acceleration test applications in potentially wet environments. It comes in 4 different full-stroke ranges, has a high-tension heavy-duty measuring cable designed for the demands of flight and automotive crash tests and comes with an easy to use 2-axis 360 degree rotation mounting bracket for installation in hard to fit areas. For extreme high impact applications, the MT3A is now available with a rugged all aluminium sensor cover. For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The IT9101 is a rugged and simple device which provides a voltage divider feedback signal for incline position. The heart of the IT9101 is a magnetically-damped pendulum coupled to a conductive plastic precision potentiometer. A highly linear relationship between inclination and the output signal is maintained over the full range of the IT9101. The inclinometer has an operating temperature of -34 to 90 degrees Celsius.

IDM Instruments has just released a tissue box peel tester. The peel tester was developed to simulate the peeling of the top perforated cover of tissue boxes. The peel tester simulates the angle that the box is held before peeling. The force is measured to compare and adjust production machines. The angle of the tissue box can also be adjusted at any time to simulate different scenarios. The tissue box is operated using a pneumatic clamp that peels the perforated section of the tissue box.

The Digital Foam Porosity Tester is an instrument for monitoring the porosity of flexible cellular polyurethane. The machine determines the ease with which air passes through a cellular structure. Airflow values may be used as an indirect measurement of certain cell structure characteristics. A flexible cellular test piece, 50mm x 50mm x 25mm, is placed in a cavity over a vacuum chamber and a specified constant differential air pressure is created. The rate of airflow required to maintain this pressure, is the airflow value.  The Foam Porosity Digital Tester meets the following standards: • AS 2282.14 • ASTM D3574 - Test G • ISO 7231 • BS EN ISO 7231 • DIN EN ISO 7231 • EN ISO 7231 For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The Universal Testing Machine has been specially designed and manufactured to perform tests in both compression and tensile, without having to change the attachments. The universal measurement of firmness and hardness is based on a physical property called the indentation force deflection (IFD). It is calculated by determining the force required to deflect a test piece a percentage of its original thickness using a circular indentor, which applies a force, while also recording the degree of indentation. The Universal Testing Machine meets the following standards: • ASTM D3574 – Test B • ASTM D3574 – Test C • ASTM D3574 – Test E • ASTM D3574 – Test F • AS 2281 • AS 2282.8 • ASTM F1566 For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

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
