Low-Capacity Compression Tester
Box Compression & Foam Indentation

The QM100TS low-capacity compression tester is for compression and box-compression testing of corrugated board, cartons, paper, expanded polystyrene and similar materials. A lightweight compact monocoque structure, high-performance servo motor, crosshead speed 0.1~600 mm/min, 350 mm column spacing, load resolution better than 0.05%, and 600 mm effective travel.

From carton stacking to foam cushioning - packaging-material compression strength directly affects transport safety. Box-compression testing evaluates carton stacking load capacity, and foam indentation evaluates cushioning performance. The 350 mm column spacing accommodates wider specimens, making it a dedicated device for packaging and cushioning-material compression testing.

Designed for packaging compression evaluation - low-capacity compression plus wide column spacing for box-compression/foam-indentation testing.
