Clamp Tester

The Clamp Tester simulates the horizontal compression forces that packages face throughout the distribution chain. By applying controlled horizontal compression and vertical displacement, it evaluates packaging performance under real-world mechanical handling conditions, including those encountered in automated warehouse operations commonly used by e-commerce and parcel distribution companies. Its fully electric design delivers precise, repeatable, and hydraulic-free testing for packaging evaluation and development.

Modern logistics environments apply more mechanical handling stress to packaging than ever before.

The Clamp Tester helps companies evaluate the protective performance of packaging systems, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with distribution testing requirements before failures occur in the supply chain.

  • Fully electric compression system. Electric-driven platens provide smooth and controlled compression without the variability associated with hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
  • Real-time force vs. deformation analysis. Captures and displays force-deformation curves to evaluate packaging behavior under horizontal load.
  • Adjustable horizontal stroke. Available with strokes up to 2,000 mm to accommodate different packaging formats and load sizes.
  • Compression force up to 10 kN (2,200 lbf). Suitable for evaluating a wide range of packaging systems.
  • Three calibrated testing zones. Support different testing requirements and packaging configurations.

    Benefits of Clamp Testing

    Replicates real-world handling conditions

    Simulates the horizontal compression forces encountered during warehouse and distribution operations.

    Evaluates packaging deformation

    Measures how packaging materials and systems respond to clamp compression forces.

    Supports packaging optimization

    Provides objective data to compare packaging solutions and improve performance.

    Validates packaging for modern automated logistics

    Confirms that packaging can withstand the mechanical stresses generated by automated storage systems, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and parcel distribution networks used by major retailers and distribution companies such as Amazon and Walmart.

    Supports quality control consistency

    Enables manufacturers to validate packaging performance across production batches, ensuring repeatable packaging quality and greater traceability in logistics operations.

    Reduces product damage and financial losses

    Helps identify weak packaging areas before distribution, minimizing product damage, customer claims, returns, waste, and costly supply chain disruptions.

    Revolutionize Clamp Testing with the innClamp by Safe Load Testing

    Electric system for reliable compression control

    The clamp tester uses an electric drive system that provides precise horizontal compression and controlled vertical displacement, eliminating variability from hydraulic or pneumatic systems and ensuring highly repeatable test conditions for accurate packaging performance benchmarking.

    Real-time force vs. deformation analysis

    Record and visualize force and deformation data in real time to evaluate structural behavior under compression. The system generates accurate curves that help identify failure points, validate protective elements, and support packaging optimization before mass production.

    Versatile testing range

    Adjustable stroke range (250–2000 mm, depending on model) makes the clamp testers adaptable to a wide range of packaging dimensions—from small parcels to full pallet loads—without the need for specialized setups.

    Intuitive interface a user-friendly operation

    The clamp tester combines manual and automatic testing modes, adapting to different packaging requirements. Its intuitive touch screen controller allows easy configuration, monitoring, and operation.

    Seamless data management
