Model 23 Cushion Test System
The Model 23 Cushion Tester is a unique test system designed for evaluating the impact performance of cushioning materials. Mitigating impact energy experienced during shipping and handling is an important attribute for protective packaging. To measure the cushioning characteristics of different materials, the user can easily vary the impact platen mass and drop height to simulate different static loadings and impact velocities.
Model 23 Cushion Tester performs testing in accordance with ASTM D1596.
- Handheld pendant control for simple user operation
- Forged aluminum table design for generating clean shock pulses
- Electric hoist lifting and positioning system enables precise drop repeatability
- Impact Speed Meter compliant with ASTM standards, for measuring impact velocity
- Full range of applications training programs available
- Worldwide Customer Service department
