Carton Clamping Force Tester
The Carton Clamping Force Tester is designed to evaluate the protective performance of packaging under horizontal pressure during transportation and storage. By measuring the deformation of the packaging and its ability to protect inner contents, it helps optimize packaging design and ensure product safety.
Applications
(1) Verification of carton and packaged product strength under horizontal compression.
(2) Assessment of packaging’s protective performance for internal contents.
(3) Optimization of packaging design to prevent deformation or damage during transport and storage.
(4) Applicable to a wide range of packages including cartons, boxes, and other prismatic containers.
(5) Quality control in logistics, packaging manufacturing, e-commerce, and warehousing.
Standards
(1) ASTM D6055 – Standard Test Method for Compression Resistance of Shipping Containers.
(2) SEARS – Packaging testing standards.
(3) Enterprise standards or custom non-standard requirements as specified by customers.

Test Procedures
Place the packaged sample on the base plate.
Adjust the clamping plates to fit the sample width and height.
Set the desired clamping pressure according to the test requirements.
Operate the manual lever to clamp the sample.
Perform lifting and lowering movements to simulate actual transport handling.
Monitor force display to ensure target pressure is maintained.
After the test, release the sample and inspect for deformation or damage.
Repeat as necessary for multiple orientations or sample types.
Calibrate force display periodically to ensure measurement accuracy.
Maintenance Information
(1) Regularly check servo motors and drive systems for wear.
(2) Inspect clamping plates and base for flatness and signs of deformation.
(3) Ensure limit switches and leakage protection are functioning properly.
(4) Lubricate moving components according to manufacturer recommendations.
(5) Calibrate force display regularly to maintain accurate clamping force readings.
