THEORY OF OPERATION

A test sample is secured on the annular ring per the test method and placed in the test
platform. The probe is brought into contact with the test sample and retracted at a set
speed. An electronic load cell measures the force, then feeds the information to a data
acquisition unit. The data acquisition unit collects the data from the load cell and stores
these data points in memory for use in calculating the maximum, minimum and average
values. This data can be downloaded through the USB connection port to an
appropriate receiving program on your PC.
