LYNX Testing Software for Packaging and Packing Compression

The LYNX testing software allows testing of compression at break, compression at constant load, and cyclic compression on packaging and packaging of corrugated and compact cardboard, plastic, and metal. It records minimum, maximum, and median value; and standard deviation, as well as offering:

• Quickness in the execution of compressive strength tests and in obtaining results without human error.
• Traceability according to ISO 9000.
• Storage capacity up to 100 tests per report.
• SAVE, PRINT AND COPY to CLIPBOARD functions.
• Reports in PDF format.
• Different language options: Spanish – English.
