LCT Laboratory Carton Tester RDM TEST Vietnam

Overview

The Laboratory Carton Tester (LCT) is a comprehensive solution designed to measure multiple key parameters of carton performance. It evaluates the torque required to fold carton creases as well as the coefficient of friction, which indicates the sliding behavior between adjacent carton surfaces when fed from the magazine of a gluing machine.

In addition, the system records the spring-back force, reflecting the material’s elasticity after creasing. This factor is crucial, as it directly impacts carton forming performance and may cause glued flaps to lift before the adhesive fully cures.

This delivers clear benefits for both ends of the production chain:

• End-users benefit from improved performance on forming and packaging lines.

• Manufacturers benefit from fewer rejected cartons and lower production waste.

Key Features

• Four tests in one device: Creasing – Forming – Elasticity – Friction

• Torque measurement as a function of crease angle

• Supports carton creases up to 590 mm wide

• Suitable for carton thicknesses up to 8 mm

• Touchscreen HMI for data acquisition and analysis

• Easy data export in .csv and .pdf formats
