The video introduces zipper sliding force test in which a zipper of a bag is pulled by IMADA force gauge. The closing force of zipper is affected by the pulling angle. Thus, we recommend to use a force gauge with tilt sensing function that alarms when the force gauge is not laid at the selected angle. With such function, high repeatability of the test is secured.

The resistance of a hand truck when pulled backwards is measured on this test. The accuracy of the test result is enhanced by a force gauge with tilt sensing function that alarms when the force gauge is not laid flat. An additional option handle is also available to achieve more optimum results. This test is conducted to measure the operational safety and product quality.

In this video, the maximum force when pulling out the needle tube from the hub will be measured. This test complies with the corresponding part of ISO 7864: 2016. The non-destructive test that the needle tube keeps being pulled at certain force value can be also implemented with the same test unit. MED-NPT-200N, the attachment used in this video, has three slits with different widths and is available for needles whose diameters are from 0.3mm to 2.0mm. This kind of tests are conducted for quality evaluation, quality management, and R&D.

This is clip retension test against paper. To measure the retension force, combine an IMADA's force gauge and a film chuck, grip the paper by the chuck and a clip, and pull the paper away from the clip by hand. Then, the force gauge indicates the maximum force, which is the clip's retension force. This test is used for R&D and quality control, and able to apply for different samples such as film.

This is flip cap opening test of a seasoning bottle. Plastic flip caps of cosmetic bottles and similar can be tested likewise for evaluation and quality control.

This is simple manual pull off test of a glue cap. With a digital force gauge and double arm hook, the glue cap is hooked and pulled to measure the maximum force required to remove the cap. Bottle inner plugs, pen caps, and similar over caps can be tested likewise for evaluation and quality control.

This is pull off test of film case cap. The double arm hooks the ends of the cap diagonally and pulls it up controlled by the motorized test stand. Bottle inner plugs, pen caps, and similar over caps can be tested likewise for evaluation and quality control.

Lid (cap) of cosmetic container is extracted/inserted repetitively to measure the durability for quality control and R&D.

This is USB connector extraction/insertion test for quality control.

Needle is fixed by specialized attachment to evaluate the force of pulling out the needle apart from the hub for quality control and R&D. It enables testing according to the corresponding part of ISO and JIS standard.

To determine the opening strength of a medical collection kit’s cap, grip the cap with a dedicated grip, and pull the cap with a force gauge. IMADA offers the dedicated testing system such as the following configuration, which is utilized in quality control and R&D.
