Description :
The TCT-2 measures the resistance of any packaging to force (tension or compression). The sample is placed in a holder and gradually pushed up or pulled against the plate or grips. A column with adjustable height and speed adapts the device to different tests. The sample collapses or stretches once the peak force — the maximum load it can withstand — is reached, and this maximum value is read on the very user-friendly multifunction touch screen. Complies with ISBT requirements and recommendations.

· Calibration module
· Custom lighting

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TCT-2 Traction and Compression Tester?
The TCT-2 measures the resistance of packaging to tear forces (traction) and top-load forces (compression) using perfectly parallel plates, covering a range of 0-1,500 N with 1 N resolution.
How many test steps can the TCT-2 program?
The TCT-2 supports user-defined cycles with up to 4 force and pause steps, stores up to 30 product memories and 10 operator profiles, and displays real-time testing curves on a touchscreen.
What optional accessories extend the TCT-2 capability?
The TCT-2's available options include a calibration module, a mini-printer, custom-made fixtures for specific samples, and QUALIFORCE software for advanced data management and statistical analysis.
What are the physical specifications of the TCT-2?
The TCT-2 is built with a stainless steel frame, includes overload protection and RS232 data output, measures 500 x 400 x 870 mm, and weighs 50 kg.
