IMADA Co.,Ltd.

Medical devices and pharmaceuticals are used for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human and animal diseases, which are closely related to human and animal health. Therefore, high level of safety is required and many of these elements are strictly controlled by standards and internal regulations. This video shows how to perform a penetrability test of vial stoppers complying with ISO 8871-5: 2016. IMADA's specialized attachments, jig to fix the vial, Male Lure Slip Adapter to attach a hypodermic needle with 0.8 mm outer diameter (specified in the ISO standard), are used for this test. The peak force required for penetrating the vial stopper (rubber closure) is measured. The optional graphing software shows the entire force transition until the vial stopper (rubber closure) is penetrated, which helps you analyze the suitability of the vial stopper (rubber closure). It is used for the quality evaluation and quality control of vial.

The penetration force, which occurs when the tip of the hypodermic needle inserts into the skin, is directly related to the pain felt by a person. It is said that the less penetration force, the less pain. Therefore, the penetration force is an important factor for hypodermic needle quality control and R&D. This video shows how to perform the peak penetration force and average Drag force test of a hypodermic needle complying with ISO 7864: 2016. The testing speed and needle penetration depth which specified in the standard can be easily set with Imada's measuring instruments. In addition, the peak penetration force and average Drag force results required by the standard, can also be displayed and calculated automatically by using Imada's force-displacement graphing software. It is useful for hypodermic needle's quality control and R&D.

This is puncture strength test of packaging film for quality control and R&D. It enables testing according to the corresponding part of JIS standard.

This is puncture test of paper straw. Stick the paper straw into the film lid and test the maximum force. IMADA offers the dedicated testing system such as the following configuration, which is utilized in quality control and R&D.

Syringe needle is penetrated into something to measure its resistance force for quality control and R&D.

A box-making machine, also known as a carton former, opens the folded carton to make a carton box. The machine may shut down due to the variation of force to bend the score and the crease on the folded corrugated fiberboard. Thus, the management and testing of bending force of carton is necessary. This video shows how to measure the maximum force when bending the carton at 90 degrees, by using IMADA customized attachment and testing equipment. Moreover, By using the graphing software, the transition of the force to bend the carton at 90 degrees can be checked visually. The measurement which complies with standard TAPPI T829 om-15 can also be performed.

This is 3-Point bending test of round bar shaped sample which used as material for construction and furniture manufacturing. It is for material safety evaluation and quality control.

This is 3-point bending strength test of fine ceramics by using IMADA 3-point bending fixture complying with the corresponding part of JIS R 1601:2008. It is for safety evaluation and quality control.

This is 3-point bending test of paper straw to evaluate its bending strength. By using IMADA graphing software, the testing results of different material and diameter, or samples in different soaking time can be compared in one screen. IMADA offers the dedicated testing system such as the following configuration, which is utilized in quality control and R&D.
