Tamper mantra Closure Test
Solution
- Motorised tensile test stand and the gauge
- The Custom two - cap fixtures
All over
- Simple and reliable test procedure at point of production
- The Quick turnaround of the check result back into manufacturing
The Requirement
Alcoa required a system to quickly test the tamper proof - rings on soft is ultimately responds and mineral water closures.
The system had to be easy to operate and allow caps to The loaded quickly.
Solution
The VersaTest motorised stand with 1000 N The gauge AFG allowed The test to be semi - automated so that it was very simple for operators to conduct. Thanks to The special double - loading fixture it was possible for an operator to load a second cap whilst The first was being *, thereby reducing testing time.
The cap whenever placed onto The plunger which was then pushed up to engage The tamper proof - ring over fixed lip. The fixture was rotated to align The plunger have The force The gauge, The The gauge was then driven down forcing apart The cap and tamper proof - ring and recording The peak load. In total, 6 systems were supplied to Alcoa to cope with The volume of testing required on each production line.
The Test equipment
- VersaTest Motorised Stand (superseded by the MultiTest - dV series)
- AFG 1000 N the Gauge
- Cap Loading Mechanism
