Oakland’s Model FX-7100 F/W is a digital COF Tester for determining static friction
and kinetic coefficient of friction of all substrates including cartons, plastic
film, coatings, textiles and paper. Built-in statistics display of peak & real-time
force, or static & kinetic COF on the force gauge 3-line digital display. PC/Software-based
data collection of graphical & statistical COF data.
Oakland’s most popular model in its range of COF, Peel & Seal Test Instruments, the
Model FX-7100 F/W COF Tester is designed for ease-of-use in determining Static COF
and Kinetic COF of your film and sheet materials. Based on force gauge firmware
or software determination of static and kinetic COF values; add our FX-7200 Software
to provide graphics, statistics, and reporting of friction information. The FX-7100
F/W force gauge digital display simultaneously displays real-time static COF and
kinetic COF values.
Optional Sliding Blocks are available for the FX-7100 F/W horizontal
bed system for testing several materials including shipping sacks, fiberboard, electrical
insulation paper, printed paper, and corrugated.
The force gauge display (shown at right) illustrates an end-of-test result of 0.243
Static Coefficient of Friction, and 0.220 Kinetic Coefficient of Friction using a
standard 200 gram Sled. A sample FX-7200 COF Software end-of-test screen with graphic
and COF statistics is also shown at right.
