HSU-1000 High Speed Unwind Tester

High Speed Unwind

Accurately measure the unwind force of a roll of tape with the ChemInstruments High Speed Unwind Machine. The High Speed Unwind Machine meets the standards specified in ASTM D 1000 and AFERA 4008 for unwind force at a fast rate of removal. It will also test the unwind force of pressure sensitive tapes according to Test Methods PSTC-8 and PSTC-13.

Model number: HSU-1000

Data Acquisition System

The ChemInstruments electronic data acquisition system is a state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled force measurement package that combines accuracy with ease of use. This system simultaneously controls test motion, reads the force of a test from a load cell, digitally displays it and also stores that data in its memory.

  • Records 400 data points per second during a test interval
  • Displays the average, high and low measured force results immediately upon completion of a test
  • Export data by RS-232 connection to a local PC with our EZ-Lab software
  • Displays test values in grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds or Newtons

EZ-Lab Compatible

Remote setup, operational control and enhanced data collection are all possible when coupled with our EZ-Lab data management software. This application requires an external PC. (See more information about the EZ-Lab product)
