The clamping force test sensor system

The latest load unit security vulnerability identification technology

The latest measurement technology for optimum pallet safety

Our packaging optimizers have always carried out spot measurements of the back-tensioning force to gain an initial impression of the stability of a pallet. However, although the back-tensioning force is such an important indicator for pallet stability and transport safety, it has always been limited to individual, selective measurements that did not allow any detailed conclusions to be drawn about the behavior of the pallet in specific traffic situations. 

This changes fundamentally with the back-tensioning force test sensor system. 

With this innovative, pioneering technology, our application engineers are now able to measure restraining forces continuously along the entire height of the pallet - a real breakthrough for packaging optimization, as this makes it possible to empirically track the actual securing of the goods on the pallet for the first time. 

Functionality

  • Attachment: The back tension test sensor is attached to the pallet before the wrapping process and starts measuring as soon as the wrapping process begins.
  • Precision sensors: A large number of high-precision sensors measure the actual tension force of the stretch film directly on the sides and edges of the pallet, over the entire height.
  • Real-time analysis and data processing: Measurement data is analyzed via a software-supported interface and visualized in such a way that the results of the measurement are clear and meaningful at first glance.

Field of application

  • Identification of weak points: The back-tensioning force test sensor system
    identifies weak points in pallet securing and enables precise optimization.
  • Analysis and optimization: The data on the clamping force provides valuable insights for improving packaging processes.
  • Cost efficiency and sustainability: With the help of the back-tensioning force test sensor system, maximum pallet safety can be achieved with minimal use of film - benefiting the environment and costs.
