The 1270 PCA measures the force to open or bend paperboard and scored paper carton.
Force data is vital for accurately configuring machinery that controls cartons on form, fill and seal lines and to analyze carton performance for runnability and quality control.
The ability to predetermine settings in the production of cartons can increase overall efficiency.
Maintaining identical package specifications between the producer and the packager has also shown to be of mutual benefit for increasing savings in less reworks, rejects and down-time.
The 1270 PCA also measures spring back after folding providing critical information for sealing or gluing operations.
