- Cyclic testing to measure repeated de-corking and resealing of the bottle
Requirement
改进的质量和存储their premium $1000 product, the R&D team at a leading Scottish whisky maker needed to optimise the design of their bottle stoppers. They decided that the strength and performance of their reusable stoppers could be ensured by systematic testing of the characteristics of both portions of the stoppers.
软木塞:
- 瓶颈饰面
- cork lubricant
Bar top portion:
strength of the adhesive that binds the bar top to the cork portion
- 扭矩 - de-corking从扭曲开始。使用可接受的扭矩必须扭转软木塞
- Extraction force - the cork is pulled up and out of the bottle. Pulling of the cork must be possible using acceptable force
制造商的塞子必须符合ISO 9727-5标准,该标准指定了确定提取圆柱形软木塞所需的最大力的测试方法。
Solution
Working closely with the R&D team, Mecmesin developed the CombiCork-i Extraction Tester, an innovative multi-function cork extraction testing system that tests both phases of de-corking (twist and pull) synchronously. A manually operated chuck grips the cork and a bottle cradle secures the bottle. The cradle is positioned using thumbnuts and threaded columns and the bottle is locked into the cradle using quick-release toggle clamps. When the test is begun, the chuck that is gripping the stopper rotates anti-clockwise and the cradle moves downward, mimicking the normal action of de-corking. Torque and force is recorded and the test ends when the stopper is removed. If data describing stopper performance over repeated opening and closing is required, multiple-cycles can also be programmed. The closing phase of the cyclic test is the opening test in reverse: that is, the chuck rotates the stopper clockwise and the cradle moves the bottle upward to meet the stopper's bar.
扭矩数据被发送到运行Mecmesin的eCperor Lite™程序的PBOB体育最新下载安装C,并强制数据到同一PC上运行的完整Emperor™程序。定制Excel®工作簿结合了扭矩和力数据以统计和图形格式的呈现。
Other fixtures can be attached to the CombiCork-i so that tests on cork shear and tensile separation of the bar top and cork can also be performed.
