FAQ's of Primary Tack Tester to measure initial tack of the adhesive tape under JIS Z0237:
Q: How does the Primary Tack Tester measure the initial tack of adhesive tapes?
A: The tester evaluates initial tack using either the rolling-ball (ball tack) or probe tack method, selectable according to JIS Z0237 standards. It detects the force required for the adhesive to capture the test device, accurately measuring tack strength with a precision load cell.
Q: What are the benefits of using this tack tester in a quality control laboratory?
A: With features like high measurement accuracy (1% FS), automatic/manual control, overload protection, and efficient PC connectivity, the device boosts testing reliability and speeds up quality control processes, ensuring adhesives meet industry standards.
Q: When should I use the rolling-ball versus the probe tack method?
A: The rolling-ball tack method is recommended for quick, comparative evaluations, whereas the probe tack method is suitable for in-depth, quantitative analysis. Your selection depends on the specific adhesive and application requirements as stipulated by JIS Z0237.
Q: Where can this equipment be utilized effectively?
A: Ideal for adhesive testing laboratories and quality control environments, the Primary Tack Tester is well-suited for manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in the adhesive tape industry. Its benchtop design and semi-automatic operation facilitate easy integration into lab procedures.
Q: What is the process for conducting a tack test with this instrument?
A: Mount your specimen using the provided jig, select either the ball or probe method, and set test parameters on the LCD display. The automated system runs the test and records force data, which you can export via USB/RS232 to a connected PC for analysis and reporting.
Q: How is data output managed and reported with this gauge?
A: The tester transfers recorded data directly to a PC through the USB or RS232 interface. Included software enables comprehensive data acquisition, analysis, and report generation, streamlining documentation for quality assessment and regulatory compliance.
Q: What accessories and protections come standard with the Primary Tack Tester?
A: Standard accessories include spare balls/probes, a mounting jig, calibration weights, and an operating manual. The system features built-in overload and emergency stop protections for operator and equipment safety during testing.
