Factory source Common Rail Tester - F0021 – Foam Constant Load Pounding Machine REV#4 – Drick

The Constant Load Pounding Machine is used for the determination of loss in thickness

and loss in hardness of flexible cellular materials intended for use in upholstery.

This test provides a means of assessing the service performance of flexible cellular materials

of the latex and polyurethane types used in load-bearing upholstery. The test can be

performed on both standard size test pieces cut from stock material and to shaped components.

The principle of the test is repeated indention of a test piece by the indentor, smaller in

area than the test piece, the maximum load reached during each cycle being 750N, and

running the machine for 80,000 continuous load cycles.

A pneumatic cylinder is mounted inside the machine, raising the base platen to pound

against the circular indentor. A set of weights are fixed on top of the indentor to give

a repetitive load against the sample. For added safety, the sample area is fully enclosed,

with limit switches put in place so all operation is ceased if the door is opened, ensuring

no harm come to operators.
