Rhopoint Universal Friction Tester
Manufactured by Rhopoint Instruments
Friction testing is used in the packaging industry to measure the slip resistance of a product, with the aim of predicting feed and running speed on an automatic glueing, erecting, filling or packaging line.
The Rhopoint universal friction tester offers:
- Static and dynamic coefficient of friction
- Fast, repeatable measurements
- Includes peel, tear and seal integrity tests
- Additional option to add the lab software package at an additional price.
UFT Lab Software
Optional full analysis software allows for detailed statistical and graphical analysis of results, full PDF reporting and the creation of custom test routines.

Rhopoint Universal Friction Tester
The Universal friction tester allows the user to test static and dynamic coefficient of friction with minimal training. Ultra-repeatable static COF; automatic sled placement with variable dwell times.
A fixed link between the sled and the load cell means that there are no errors in friction from pulley wheels or cords associated with other measuring instruments.
Touch screen interface
The UFT uses an intuitive touch screen user interface making it accessible and easy to use.
Quality Assurance (QA)
Pre-loaded ISO/ASTM/friction test methods with the option to create a custom test.
Advantages:
- The sled is placed in exactly the same position each time the test is run.
- The user-defined dwell time controls the blocking effect of tackier films.
- Controlling the above ensures repeatable static COF results, independent of the operator.
