The recently introduced ESM750S 750 lbF / 3.4 kN tension / compression test stand is a proud Big Brother. Welcome  Model ESM750 , an extended length version test stand with the same height and travel specifications as the ESM1500. This test stand provides a niche solution for lower force, higher travel & higher clearance applications. ESM1500 and ESM750 single-column force testers are highly configurable solutions for tension and compression measurement applications, with capacities of 1,500 lbF (6.7 kN) and 750 lbF (3.4 kN), respectively. With generous travel and clearance, they are suitable for break testing, cycling, limit testing to a load or distance, loadholding, elongation testing, tensile testing, compression testing, and more. Satisfy various test methods through an intuitive menu with selectable test parameters, such as speed, number of cycles, etc. Up to 50 profiles may be saved and password protected. Crosshead positioning for sample setup is a breeze with a

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 prin

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
