Thwing-Albert proudly announces the launch of their latest Thickness Tester, the ProGage Touch. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of quality control and research and development, the ProGage Touch is an advanced micrometer that offers exceptional precision and accuracy. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the new ProGage Touch incorporates several notable enhancements. A user-friendly touchscreen interface offers intuitive navigation of the setup options, parameter configuration, and ease of reviewing test results and analysis.
Materials testing serves an important purpose when it comes to how the package performs in the hands of your customer. Will the medicine pouch open safely without the pills falling to the floor? Does the yogurt cup make a mess at the lunch table? What if the drink cup collapses when it is passed to the back seat? These can be some messy or frustrating experiences for the end user. These applications are some of the real-life examples of your quality testing at work behind the scenes.
The testing instrumentation that you use in your R&D laboratories and quality control departments is integral in product develop and ongoing quality assessment programs. We know that this is often a capital investment. Careful consideration needs to be undertaken when the time comes to adding capability or upgrade legacy instrumentation.
As we watch our customers make strides and develop the latest sustainable solutions for their existing products it is energizing to see the innovation. With emerging materials we know that the testing needs may also be impacted in the future. When it comes to research and development testing is critical – your materials need to hold up to existing standards and meet your sustainability goals. This might be achieved through the choice of raw materials used, the production process, resource efficiency, eco innovation or waste reduction.
Don’t let your testing fall behind. Unforeseen delays are impacting many industries due to a variety of factors. Sometimes it may be labor, sometimes parts, sometimes raw materials. Whatever the cause, it is important to be prepared for the future.
Learn about some tips for the selection of grips and fixtures for use when testing with a Universal Materials Tester like the VantageNX or the QC-3A. This is one of the most important accessories because your samples need to stay in place during a test in order to be valid along with keeping your quality lab safe.
The terms peel and seal strength are sometimes used interchangeably when describing a material’s adhesion properties and the appropriate test methods to accurately test and measure this property. In reality, these terms are distinctly different when it comes to materials testing. Specific testing protocols should be followed to ensure accurate and comparable data.
