Printability	Versatile Converting Machine	The VCM is built using the same concepts as our Rotary Koater, an open framework, on which various standard assemblies can be fitted. This ideology enables either simple single process or more complex multiple process configurations to be readily attained		VCM-300
Friction	Lab Master Slip & Friction	Computer controlled elevator for sled placement, orientation, dwell time and removal in accordance with ISO std. Measure slip and friction for coated material including paper, film, plastic, rubber and other flat material. Display slip and friction curves over test period. Heated bed option.		32-90
Friction	Lab Measure Slip & Friction	Measure slip and friction for paper, film, plastic, rubber, coatings and other flat material. Display slip and friction curves over test period. Heated bed option.		32-70
Friction	Monitor/Slip & Friction	Measure static and kinetic COF in one operation. Selectable speed and travel distance. Heated plated option.		32-07
Hardness	Lab Master Indentation Tester	Precise measurement of impression depth indentation. Curves generated by thousands of data points per test give insight into material properties.		49-93
Humidity	Portable Sword Hygrometer	Battery operated fast, accurate measurement of equilibrium relative humidity and temperature.		08-06-01 (°F), 08-06-02 (°C)
Moisture	Portable Moisture Meter	Measure moisture up to 15% on moving or stationary rolls, stacks or reams of paper and paperboard.		53-36
Moisture	Portable Moisture Meter LGF	The Portable Moisture Meter obtains instantaneous, non-destructive moisture analysis on gypsum wallboard. The Model LGF compliments the original Model LG which has been the leader in the measurement of moisture content in gypsum wallboard for over 35 years. The Model LGF is designed exclusively for gypsum wallboard.		53-49
Moisture	Portable Moisture Meter LV, LG, and LGF	This series of meters is designed to allow nondestructive moisture determinations in lumber, veneers, woodwork, gypsum board, building plaster, flooring, or any other flat, solid surface product. Each instrument in the series is ruggedly constructed, lightweight, easy to use, and has solid state circuitry.		53-48
Printability	Flexiproof 100	Provides high speed production of proofs using water, solvent or UV flexographic inks.		30-60
Data Management	TestLink	Data acquisition and management software reduces labor, eliminates transcription errors and provides real-time test results. Link any instrument or sensor with serial data output to a PC to acquire, display, analyze and store test data. Configure TestLink for a single instrument or a multi-user, multi-instrument network.		03-10
Service	Preventative Maintenance and Calibration	Maintain optimal performance of test equipment with scheduled, on-site service		04-10
Service	Set-up and Training, Extended Warranty	Assistance with instrument setup and training and the protection of extended warranties for new and repaired units is available.	Contact your nearest Sales Office.
Spare parts, accessories and consumables	Rub tester pads, lamps, friction tester sleds and more.	Keep your instruments at peak performance with original equipment calibration products, accessories and replacement parts.	Contact your nearest Sales Office.
Other	Many general purpose instruments can also be used to test coatings. Select the property to be measured from the Main Index.		Contact your nearest Sales Office with details on your application.
