Main Menu

Hot Tack & Seal Test Operator Interface Using the Load from Saved Settings feature allows for storage and recall of saved parameters under operator named recipes Using the Load from Saved Settings feature allows for storage and recall of saved parameters under operator named recipes Test result data for temperature, sealing force, and peel force are displayed on the operator interface for reference Test result data for temperature, sealing force, and peel force are displayed on the operator interface for reference The Tools menu provides: The Tools menu provides: Options menu for automatic selection of peel force, ASTM failure modes, and graph options (See Data Point Selection Methods slide) Options menu for automatic selection of peel force, ASTM failure modes, and graph options (See Data Point Selection Methods slide) Graph Scaling menu for setting automatic or fixed maximum graph scale based on peel force output Graph Scaling menu for setting automatic or fixed maximum graph scale based on peel force output

Hot Tack & Seal Test Interface

Profile Operator Interface Similar parameter setup as Hot Tack and Seal Test testing interfaces with the addition of ending temperature, temperature increment, and samples per group Similar parameter setup as Hot Tack and Seal Test testing interfaces with the addition of ending temperature, temperature increment, and samples per group Upper and lower heat can be set to increment the same amount or keep the lower heat at a set temperature and only increment the upper Upper and lower heat can be set to increment the same amount or keep the lower heat at a set temperature and only increment the upper Automatic lock out of all parameters after the Profile is initiated to avoid any operator interaction while testing Automatic lock out of all parameters after the Profile is initiated to avoid any operator interaction while testing The Tools menu provides the same options as the individual testing interfaces The Tools menu provides the same options as the individual testing interfaces The Profile menu provides: The Profile menu provides: Option to skip any temperature group Option to skip any temperature group
