The softness of a product has a certain impact on its use. Nowadays, many manufacturers choose to use professional softness testers for testing. Using a softness tester offers significant advantages, but there are still some points to keep in mind during its operation. Today, we will introduce in detail: "What are the advantages of using a softness tester, and what should be noted during its use?"
I. Advantages of the Softness Tester
1. Equipped with a high-precision force sensor, ensuring a testing accuracy error within ±1%, which is superior to the standard requirement of ±3%;
2. Controlled by a stepper motor, the movement of the measuring head is precise and stable, providing excellent repeatability of measurement results;
3. Features a Chinese LCD display and a user-friendly human-machine interface, allowing for fully automated testing. It includes test data statistical processing functions, a miniature printer for output, and automatic memory and display of results, which reduces human error and ensures both ease of operation and stable, accurate results;
4. The instrument is equipped with a dedicated calibration device and standard weights, with a built-in calibration program, making it easy for metrology and calibration departments to calibrate the device. During calibration, hang a weight on one end of the parallel bar and place the other end directly under the measuring head to calibrate the indicated value error.
II. Precautions for Using the Softness Tester
1. The sensor screw and support adjustment set screw on the measuring arm must not be rotated arbitrarily. These two components are the adjustment mechanisms for the sensor's bridge pressure output reference. The instrument has undergone strict inspection and calibration before leaving the factory, and under normal circumstances, users do not need to perform further verification. If calibration is indeed required after a period of use, a standard lever arm and weights can be used for force value verification. Exercise caution during testing and do not touch the measuring head with force;
2. The position of the balance thallium on the back of the measuring arm must not be changed. Any change in the position of the balance thallium will disrupt the balance of the measuring arm system and directly affect the measurement accuracy of the instrument;
3. Take care to protect the components of the measuring arm. Do not press or lift the measuring arm with your hands, otherwise the sensor will be damaged;
4. If the measuring arm of the instrument is not in its predetermined actual working position (highest or lowest position), it can be adjusted as follows: press the test key to activate the measuring arm. When the measuring arm reaches the predetermined position, press the pause key and then the test key again. After one action cycle, the measuring arm will automatically stop at the predetermined position.
