Expert Commentary
The standard for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction (COF) of plastic film and sheeting. It utilizes a Sled and a horizontal Plane. The engineering requirement is the Vibration Isolation. Any machine-induced vibration will cause chatter in the kinetic COF data. MTO’s COF fixtures are designed with low-friction pulleys and high-resolution load cells (typically 10N). Our software provides a real-time Friction Trace, automatically identifying the peak Static force and calculating the average Kinetic force over the prescribed travel distance.
