Key Benefits

This precision box compression testing system directly addresses the core needs of packaging laboratories: accuracy, speed, and operational peace of mind.

• Unmatched Accuracy for Reliable Decisions – The ±0.5% load accuracy and 1/50000 force resolution mean that every test result is trustworthy. You can confidently compare materials, validate designs, and pass audits without second‑guessing your data.

• Flexible Testing for Any Package – With a force range up to 20KN and infinitely adjustable speed from 0.001 to 500 mm/min, this box compression tester handles everything from lightweight cartons to heavy‑duty industrial containers. Changeover between test protocols takes seconds.

• Intelligent Software Simplifies Workflows – The Windows‑based control system displays force‑displacement, force‑time, and stress‑strain curves in real time. Automated calculation of max force, yield strength, and elastic modulus eliminates manual errors and saves hours of post‑test analysis.

• Built to Last, Backed by Support – The rugged steel frame and servo drive ensure years of reliable service. And because we partner with MASTER SCIENCE – a global leader in material testing – you benefit from genuine spare parts, firmware updates, and expert technical support throughout the machine’s life.

Address Customer Pain Points

Struggling with variable compression results that fail to correlate with real‑world stacking performance?
Inconsistent platen parallelism, slow return speeds, and opaque software often lead to wasted tests and disputed specifications. The MSGTN02A3SWISS eliminates these frustrations:

• Repeatability issues – The four‑column guided design and high‑stiffness frame guarantee parallel platen movement, so every test starts from the same reference plane.

• Time‑consuming data processing – The software automatically calculates key parameters (max force, yield point, elastic modulus) and exports them directly to Word reports – no more manual spreadsheet entry.

• Equipment downtime – The servo motor and ball screw drive are rated for continuous operation, and the self‑diagnostic routine alerts you to potential issues before they cause unplanned stops.

• Compliance anxiety – Pre‑programmed test methods for ISO 2872, ASTM D642, and TAPPI T804 mean you can run certified procedures out‑of‑the‑box, with full audit trails.

By removing these pain points, the MASTER SCIENCE Box Compression Tester lets your team focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting.
