PCA Score Bend & Opening Force Tester

The 1270 PCA Score Bend Tester measures the force to open or bend paperboard and scored paper carton.
Evaluate quality to meet opening force, bending force, and score quality
Gather valuable force data that is vital for accurately configuring machinery that controls cartons on form, fill and seal lines and to analyze carton performance for quality control.
Verify specifications between the producer and the packager to help reduce reworks, rejects and down-time in packaging design.
