The WSL368 bench top chop force tester for measuring the edge quality of razor blades. Comprising a compressive chop force mechanism with a 2-100N load cell providing a measurement accuracy of 0.1% fs. Incorporating a universal blade holder for quick and easy mounting of either double or single edge razorblades. Complete with a manually operated linear drive table allowing up to 100 individual chop tests per blade.

The WSL368 is fitted with an integrated 10-inch colour touch screen console mounted to the frame, installed with Emperor Force testing software, which controls the key test parameters of force, displacement and speed, with features such as real time graph plotting, display measured & calculated values and clear pass/fail indication. A powerful reporting module allows the user to configure test reports to present data in the form of Microsoft Excel or PDF format. It is designed to be suitable for shop floor quality control testing and/or laboratory use.

FEATURES

• Micro stepping (0.01mm resolution) ball screw drive for extremely accurate and consistent test speed.
• Multiple selectable pre-set cutting speeds.
• Minimum cycle time by employing fast approach and fast return of blade.
• Datum positions stored electronically.
• Universal blade holder using edge location – no need to change holder for different blade types.
• Blade holder is set well clear of paper for ease of loading.
• Mecmesin 100N load cell is used for measuring cutting forces.
• Paper advance via manually operated lead screw enabling up to 100 chop force measurements per blade.
• Easy to use software control package with almost limitless freedom to design and customise chop force tests to suit the user’s requirements. Test routines can be quickly and easily created, with the most common being selected using the 'favourites' button or from a standard drop-down list.
• Can be used as a stand-alone unit or networked to a central PC.
• Specifically designed for environments where throughput, productivity and minimal training are vital and where the use of a computer is not always suitable.
