The PT8420 is part of our industrial line of cable-extension transducers. This series has a measurement range of up to 60 inches. The PT8420 with its 4-20 mA feedback signal, is ideal for monitoring the stroke of a hydraulic cylinder and other applications requiring position data acquisition in harsh environments. The PT8420 provides a feedback signal that is proportional to the linear movement of a traveling stainless-steel extension cable . Simply mount the body of the transducer to a fixed surface and attach the extension cable to the moving object. For more information, please visit the IDM website at: www.idminstruments.com.au

The B0012 Crease Bend Tester is used to monitor scoring equipment to ensure box performance, by measuring the bending resistance of creased board at the time of folding at the crease.  It measures the maximum force required to bend the sample board. Corrugated converters use the Crease Bend Tester to aid in making adjustments to improve the quality; thus ensuring the end user will have boxes that run effectively on their production line.

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
