E0001 - E0002 - Edge Compression Guide Blocks & Cutters

Product details

The Edge Compression Guide Blocks are to aid in the determination of the resistance of 

corrugated fibreboard to a load applied in the plane of the board in a direction parallel to

the flutes, ie: parallel to the cross direction of the component sheets. This knowledge 

can be related to the compression strength of containers when constructed with flutes 

vertical in vertical faces.

The Edge Compression Cutter has been designed and manufactured to cut accurate samples 

from corrugated board for testing purposes. This method, which cuts the edges parallel, 

is the easiest and most repeatable method of preparing samples for Edge Compression 

Testing.

Two sharp, single bevelled parallel blades are located in the pneumatically driven cutter 

head. The blades are moved at high speeds to ensure straight and parallel edges with 

square corners. Its one step, easy operation is guarded by a polycarbonate safety screen 

to protect the operator.
