Product Overview

The KR‑438 bench‑top softness‑measuring instrument objectively quantifies the hand‑feel soft‑hard property of thin sheet‑form materials, simulating human tactile perception under controlled laboratory conditions. It adopts precision probe‑indentation measuring principle to convert subjective hand‑feeling into repeatable numerical test‑readings.

Compliant with GB/T 8942, QB/T 1060, TAPPI T498, ASTM D2923‑01 and JIS L1096 specifications, this unit is widely deployed in paper‑making factories, hygiene‑goods manufacturers, new‑material R&D labs and third‑party inspection bodies for incoming‑material QC, new‑formula comparison and finished‑product release‑verification of tissue paper, napkins, non‑woven fabrics, thin‑films and fibre‑based sheets.

Core Product Competitive Advantages

1. High‑Precision Force‑Sensing Measuring Module High‑sensitivity load‑cell delivers 1 mN fine resolution with overall measuring accuracy within ±1 %. Strictly‑controlled parallelism of sample‑table slit (≤0.05 mm) reduces mechanical system error and guarantees excellent repeatability for batch‑sample testing results.
2. 7‑Inch Dual‑Language Touch‑Screen HMI Large‑size colour touch‑panel supports English‑Chinese switch‑able operating interface. Operators complete parameter configuration, real‑time data observation and statistical‑result review directly on‑device. Intuitive graphic menu lowers training threshold for lab‑operators.
3. Fully‑Automatic One‑Click Test Workflow No tedious manual sample alignment is required. After placing specimen, one‑key trigger starts full‑auto measurement. Servo‑motor precisely governs probe movement angle and travel path. Upon test completion, probe automatically returns to home‑position; force‑value and angle‑signal execute auto‑zero‑reset for next‑round measurement.
4. Integrated Data‑Statistics & Multi‑Output Options Built‑in statistical algorithm automatically calculates maximum, minimum and average softness values for multi‑specimen groups. On‑board thermal printer generates hard‑copy test‑reports. RS232 communication interface enables PC connection for extended mass‑data storage, sorting and custom‑report generation.
5. Interchangeable Multi‑Width Sample‑Table Slit Inserts Multiple slit‑width accessories (5 mm, 6.35 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm) are selectable. Users swap inserts quickly without tools to satisfy test‑requirements for different‑thickness and different‑category sheet‑shaped specimens. Compact desktop cabinet‑type layout saves valuable laboratory counter‑top area.

Complete Technical Parameter Table

Standard Complete Test Operating Workflow

1. Pre‑Test Preparation Place tester on horizontal stable workbench. Install matching slit‑width insert according to specimen‑type. Power‑on instrument and complete system self‑check.
2. Specimen Preparation & Placement Cut sheet‑material sample into standard dimensions, lay it flat across the sample‑table slit, ensure no wrinkling or offset of test‑area.
3. Initiate Automatic Measurement Tap start button on touch‑screen. Motor‑driven probe executes preset indentation‑movement. System captures real‑time force signals throughout measuring cycle.
4. View & Export Test Results When single‑specimen measurement finishes, probe automatically resets. After finishing group‑batch testing, review statistical softness‑data on‑screen. Print test‑report locally or transmit datasets to external computer for archiving.
5. Post‑Test Tidying Remove tested sample, clean debris from sample‑table slit. Shut‑down equipment after completing all‑batch‑tests. Perform periodic sensor‑calibration as per manual requirements.
