HAIDA HD-C526-2 Dual-Station Motorized Roller Compaction Tester (4-Position)

Overview

The HAIDA HD-C526-2 Dual-Station Motorized Roller Compaction Tester (4-Position) is an engineered precision instrument designed for standardized specimen preparation in adhesion and peel performance testing. It operates on the principle of controlled gravitational compaction: a calibrated rubber-coated roller applies consistent normal force—via its precisely defined mass—while traversing at user-selectable linear velocities across adhesive specimens mounted on rigid test plates. This mechanical consolidation ensures uniform contact pressure and interfacial wetting between the adhesive layer and substrate, directly fulfilling the specimen conditioning requirements specified in international standards such as GB/T 2792–2014 (Sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4) and PSTC-8 (Section 4.2). Unlike manual rolling methods, the HD-C526-2 eliminates operator-induced variability in dwell time, speed, and applied load—thereby enhancing inter-laboratory reproducibility and supporting GLP-compliant test workflows in QC laboratories, R&D centers, and contract testing facilities.

Key Features

• Two independent roller stations with four parallel test positions—enabling simultaneous preparation of up to four standardized specimens per cycle, significantly improving throughput in high-volume testing environments.
• Roller geometry and material properties rigorously aligned with ISO 2922 and ASTM D3330 Annex A specifications: 84 ±1 mm diameter, 45 ±1.5 mm width, 6 mm rubber thickness, Shore A 80 ±5 hardness—ensuring compliance with global method requirements for pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) evaluation.
• Six discrete, stepwise rolling speeds (100–600 ±3 mm/min), each factory-verified via traceable linear encoder feedback—supporting method flexibility across diverse regulatory frameworks including FDA guidance for medical adhesives and IEC 60601-1 biocompatibility assessments.
• Robust powder-coated steel chassis with vibration-damped baseplate—minimizing mechanical resonance during operation and preserving dimensional stability over extended service life.
• Integrated LED counter with 6-digit resolution (1–999,999 cycles), programmable auto-stop function, and real-time fault diagnostics—including motor stall detection and overtravel alert—enhancing operational safety and audit readiness.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The HD-C526-2 accommodates a broad spectrum of flexible substrates and pressure-sensitive materials, including but not limited to polymeric films (PET, PP, PE), release liners (silicone-coated papers), protective films, aluminum foils, battery separator membranes, nonwovens, elastomeric tapes, and medical-grade acrylic adhesives. Its 300 mm maximum specimen length and ≤48 mm width envelope align with standard specimen dimensions required by GB/T 2792–2014, ASTM D1000, JIS Z0237, and ISO 2922. All structural components contacting test specimens are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel or anodized aluminum, eliminating contamination risks in cleanroom-adjacent environments. The system supports full traceability documentation per ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Clause 7.8, and its mechanical design conforms to IEC 61000-6-2 (immunity) and IEC 61000-6-4 (emission) for laboratory electromagnetic compatibility.

Software & Data Management

While the HD-C526-2 operates via hardware-based control architecture—leveraging industrial-grade relays and solid-state timing circuits—it incorporates digital logging capabilities compatible with external data acquisition systems. The LED counter output can be interfaced via TTL-level pulse signals to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or PC-based LabVIEW or Python scripts for automated cycle tracking and SPC charting. Optional RS-485 Modbus RTU expansion enables integration into centralized LIMS platforms, supporting 21 CFR Part 11–compliant electronic records when paired with validated timestamped logging software. All firmware revisions are version-controlled and documented in the device’s Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) report, which accompanies each unit shipment.

Applications

• Pre-conditioning of PSA specimens prior to 180° peel strength measurement (ASTM D3330, GB/T 2792).
• Standardized sample preparation for holding power (creep resistance) tests per PSTC-7 and ISO 4587.
• Quality control of release liner adhesion consistency in pharmaceutical blister packaging lines.
• R&D validation of novel hydrogel or silicone-based wound dressings requiring reproducible skin-contact simulation.
• Manufacturing process qualification for lithium-ion battery electrode calendering simulations where interfacial bonding integrity is critical.

FAQ

What standards does the HD-C526-2 comply with for roller specification?
It meets the dimensional, mass, and durometer requirements defined in GB/T 2792–2014 Section 5.3.3, PSTC-8 Section 4.2, and ISO 2922 Annex B.
Can the roller speed be continuously adjusted, or only set to the six preset values?
Speed selection is discrete—six fixed rates are provided to ensure metrological traceability; continuous variable speed is not supported to maintain calibration integrity.
Is the unit supplied with test plates or stainless-steel test strips?
Standard configuration includes three rollers and documentation only; 4-position stainless steel test plates are available as optional accessories, customizable per customer-specified dimensions and surface finish (e.g., Ra ≤0.8 µm).
Does HAIDA provide calibration certification with the instrument?
Yes—a NIST-traceable certificate of conformance for roller mass, speed accuracy, and dimensional tolerances is issued upon request (fee applies); annual recalibration services are available under HAIDA’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration program.
What electrical safety certifications does the HD-C526-2 hold?
It complies with GB 4793.1–2007 (equivalent to IEC 61010-1) for electrical safety in laboratory equipment and carries CE marking for EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.
