This is compression test for measuring the hardness of tablets (pharmaceutical tablets). In this video, a tablet is pushed until it breaks using IMADA force gauge and a flat attachment. This test determines the hardness of tablets by obtaining the maximum load value when fracture initiates. Watch the video for more details. Tablet hardness testing is used for R&D and quality control.

This test is to measure buffer material hardness (elasticity/cushioning characteristics) for quality control.

A ball is compressed to test its harness (crushing strength) for durability evaluation, quality control and R&D.

Cosmetic foundation is pressed to measure its hardness for quality control and R&D.

This is plastic bottle top-load testing for characteristic evaluation, and quality control.

This is shoe sole hardness test for comfort evaluation, quality control and R&D.

Cushion or pillows are compressed by a attachment to measure its softness for functionality evaluation and quality control.

To determine the strength and sharpness of acupuncture needle in conformance with the corresponding part of ISO 17218 : 2014, IMADA offers a dedicated testing system as the following configuration.

Syringe plunger is compressed to measure the compression (resistance) force for quality control and R&D.

Syringe plunger is compressed to measure the compression (resistance) force for quality control and R&D. It complies with corresponding part of ISO 7886-1:2017.

This is softness measurement of hand cream. Disk probe is used to compress the hand cream to test its softness. It is widely used for quality control and R&D.

This is tactile test of mouse button using force-displacement analysis unit FSA series. It allows force-displacement graphing and visual analysis of the click feeling. It is widely used for quality control and R&D.

This is push-out test of tablet from its packaging (pharmaceutical blister pack). The tablet is pulled out from its packaging and the test results is graphed for analysis. It is widely used for quality control.

IMADA's actuation force tester measures actuation force of sanitizer spray bottle, hand soap pump bottle, or other dispenser, which enables quality control of discharging volume.

A person pushes a cart with a force gauge to test his/her work load for safety evaluation and quality control.

This is spray press button compression test for quality control and R&D.

IMADA's force-displacement tester determines click feeling of tactile switches. In the video, the tester presses a switch, measuring the resistance force and graphing the measurement. The remarkable thing is that the tester presses switches by pre-set displacement. In other words, to determine the click feeling, you need to measure displacement as well as force. Then, the tester graphs force transition with reference to displacement, helping identify the hysteresis (zero reversion). Thus, the force-displacement tester handles various characteristic evaluation other than click feeling of switches.

To determine the durability (burst strength) of heat-sealed packages such as retort pouches, keep a package pressed at a constant force with a force gauge and a dedicated fixture. IMADA offers the dedicated testing system such as the following configuration to comply with JIS, which is utilized in quality control.
