Tackiness Check - Drive
Automatic instrument for the measure of the Tackiness
Gibitre Instruments’ Tackiness Check is a precision measurement tool for determining the adhesion (tack) of rubber materials, adhesive tapes, sealants, and other materials. The method measures the force required to separate two flat surfaces after a defined compression dwell and supports both product-to-metal and product-to-product testing via interchangeable tools.
A motorized ballscrew lets you program the test cycle and tightly control approach force and time—critical variables together with contact pressure. A load cell up to 60 N with 0.001 N resolution, plus displacement measurement to 0.0001 mm, delivers sensitivity and repeatability. Travel and speed (50 mm stroke, up to 85 mm/min) meet typical adhesion-testing needs.
The software suite includes Gibitre Force-Displacement, with barcode-based specimen identification, and Datagest for Gibitre Standard SQL database management—ensuring full traceability and instant analysis. Tackiness Check brings reliable adhesion measurement to
Overview
The Tackiness Check instrument measures the adhesion or tack of rubber materials, adhesive tapes, sealants and other materials. Tack is defined as the force required to separate two sheet materials which are compressed together for a specified time. The factors which influence the behavior of tack are: contact pressure, contact time and temperature. The instrument produced by Gibitre permits to set the test cycle and allows accurate control of adhesion force and time.
Key Features
• Motor controlled screw with recycling of ball-bearing for the displacement of the sample (max speed 85 mm/min, stroke 50 mm)
• Displacement transducer with 0,0001 mm resolution
• Load cell for the measure of the force (Max load 25 N, Resolution 0,0001 N)
• Interchangeable indentor for the application of the force
• Full license of Gibitre FORCE-DISPLACEMENTsoftware optimized for Bar-code sample identification
• Full license of Datagest software for complete management of Gibitre SQL Database
Force Application Device
The instrument is supplied with a cylindrical force application device.
The main advantages of this device are:
• Possibility to rotate or remove the device between subsequent tests
• Possibility to apply the product to be tested on the device to test the adhesion of product on product.
Devices with different shapes are available on request
Intechangeable Sample Holder
The plate to which the specimen is applied can have different shapes depending on the type of product to be tested.
The specimen holders are interchangeable to facilitate preparation
Software Force-Displacement Tester 9.0
Force-Displacement Unit control software (release 9.0) for performing force displacement tests.
Program features:
The program includes:
• Pre-installed Test Procedures for performing standard test cycles
• Wizard for the preparation of fully customized test procedures
• Analysis of the force - displacement curve
• Calculation of the numerical results foreseen by the Test Procedure
• Comparison of results with tolerance limits and statistical analysis
• Storage of data and curves in Gibitre's SQL Standard database.
Test report
Can be printed or saved to pdf in one of the available languages. The format of the Test Report can be customized by the user.
Management of Test Results
The results and test curves of all the tests carried out are saved in the Gibitre SQL database and are available through the Datagest program.
Datagest is the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which is always installed in combination with all Gibitre instrument-control programs.
The program is the collector for all the test result produced with the instruments connected and permits to manage the common Archives used by the instruments (Product List, Customer List, Tolerance limits, Order List, etc)
Industry 4.0 integration
The instrument and the software have been specifically developed to optimize integration with other environments.
The database in SQL format and the Gibitre_Company_Connect program allows you synchronize your company management software with Gibitre database and to speed up the identification of the tests and to use bar-code readers or similar devices.
Hardware requirements
• Programs can be installed on standard PCs with WINDOWS 10 or 11 OPERATING SYSTEM.
• The CONNECTION between the instruments and the PC is made using the USB CABLE supplied with the instrument.
• The programs are COMPATIBLE WITH ANTIVIRUS, and other programs installed on the PC.
Language Selection
All the programs produced by Gibitre are multi-language and allow the operator to select the language of use.
The test report can be produced in the desired language regardless of the language of use of the program.
The languages available at the moment are: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese.
Development and production
The instrument is totally developed and produced in the plant of Gibitre Instruments in Italy.
All the mechanical parts are produced in the company workshop using modern CNC machines.
Components and sensors from well-known brands are selected in order to ensure the maximum reliability in the measures
Internal trained personnel takes care of all the production stages: assembly, start-up, calibration, packing, shipment and installation.
