Its “V” sample holder and RS-232/USB output support standardised force testing with basic statistics.

Open Force Tester

The OP-50 open force tester quickly and accurately determines the opening force necessary to unfold and open cardboard boxes and cases. On high-speed and automated packing lines, it’s important to know the force required to erect and open boxes and cartons — this equipment measures the required force to form folding carton boxes, essential for optimising box-filling performance.

Key Features

  • Standard test speed range: 0.5–1000mm/min.
  • Test speed accuracy: ≤ ±1%.
  • Mobile crossbar travel: 500mm.
  • Separation between fixings (adapters): 500mm.
  • Sample holding device in “V” configuration.
  • RS-232 output interface with converter to USB.
  • Testing software with basic statistics to perform opening force tests.
  • Compatible with the T-LAB Laboratory Management System.

Applications

Ideal for corrugated board, folding carton and folding cardboard box manufacturers needing to verify opening force meets packaging line requirements, avoiding jams or failures on automated packing equipment.
