Coefficient of Friction Tester – (COF )
Model KCOF-100 | COF Testing Machine with 5 kg Load Cell
The Katpot Systems COF Tester – Model KCOF-100 evaluates static and dynamic coefficients of friction of flexible films, laminates, papers, labels, foils and coated substrates. Built with a precision 10 kg load cell and controlled sled movement, it measures friction behaviour critical for packaging runnability.
Advanced Features
-
High-precision 10 or 5 kg load cell ensures reliable static & dynamic COF measurement.
-
Controlled sled motion reduces reading variation and improves repeatability.
-
Stable rigid frame minimizes vibration error during sliding measurement.
-
Supports trend comparison for surface treatment and coating changes.
-
Enables consistent COF mapping across multiple material grades.
Product Importance
-
Controls machinability of films and laminates during printing, slitting, pouching and packing lines.
-
Prevents machine stoppage, slipping, misfeed and stacking issues caused by wrong COF.
-
Ensures stable running on high-speed form-fill-seal machines.
-
Helps compare suppliers and maintain batch-to-batch surface consistency.
-
Critical for packaging performance validation and export quality compliance.
