Razor Blade Chop Force Tester

The WSL369 Chop Force Tester is a bench top mounted unit for testing the edge quality of razor blades.

Featuring a vertical ball screw-driven motorised test frame, designed to apply compressive chop forces using a Mecmesin AFG100, 2-100N digital force gauge with load measurement accuracy of 0.1% of full-scale.

Fitted with a universal blade holder assembly for quick and easy mounting of either Double or Single edge razorblades.

The test bed incorporates a servomotor operated horizontal linear lead screw drive table with a 120mm stroke for mounting Whatman chop test paper, allowing a maximum of 100 individual chop tests automatically.
