IDM Instruments Pty Ltd

IDM Instruments is able to complete any measurement testing for you. With hundreds of products available, we are sure to be your number one measurement tester. We can also loan our machines to you for measurement testing. Machines are available for short and long term. You can then perform your own measurement testing I your time while having the reduced costs of renting instead of buying an entire testing machine. We can perform measurement testing for carpet with machines such as our tetrapod abrasion tester or our static load tester for carpets. Measurement testing can also be performed for mattresses with machines such as our bedding impact tester, mattress compression tester, mattress rolator or our cornell type tester. If you would like to complete measurement testing for shoes, we can certainly accommodate you with our sole abrasion tester, shoe drop tester or a whole sole flex tester. We are also able to complete measurement testing for rubber with dry or wet din abrader, dry

We have just completed an update to our popular Tetrapod Abrasion Tester allowing our customers to test samples of textile floor coverings to the internationally recognised ISO/TR 6131 standard, as well as improving the safety of its operation. Tests are completed for materials with a thickness of up to 20mm. The Tetrapod tester allows the user to test the mechanical action on surface texture of textile carpet. A cylindrical drum, lined with specimens and containing the tetrapod, is rotated the required number of times so that the tetrapod ‘walks’ over the specimens. The Tetrapod Abrasion Tester features a five digit counter, safety enclosure, a 1000g tetrapod and drums spinning at fifty revolutions per minute. The machine can be manufactured for mains power of 220V or 110V depending on the country that it is meant to be used in. It also comes with an optional cutting template that allows the user to quickly cut the sample to be tested, saving time in measuring and marking before

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.
