2 Preventive Maintenance and Calibration Program: The IDM Preventive Maintenance and Calibration (PM&C) program has been designed to make the maintenance and calibration of your valuable testing equipment more cost effective by preventing breakdowns and downtime by regular calibration, service and replacement of defective parts. IDM's PM&C system takes care of all service and repair needs you may have. It is an on-site maintenance and calibration service available on a regular basis, suitable to your needs and your testing equipment. The PM&C program is the best way to ensure your testing equipment is maintained in optimum working condition. PM&C team members are supplied with the necessary means to sustain your testing equipment's peak performance throughout its lifetime, benefiting both you and your equipment. Testing equipment in your facility (or at IDM) will be calibrated using industry-wide, internationally recognised standards or by your specific requirements. Calibrated instruments are labelled accordingly and documented with an IDM full calibration report or certificate of conformance (whichever is applicable). All calibrations are maintained in IDM's calibration database and you will be notified when your next service/calibration is due. IDM's Calibration work is comprehensive- adjusting your equipment to give you the right results, whenever possible. Through this system of scheduled PM&C, IDM can help you improve productivity by reducing down time, minimising unscheduled maintenance and the need for service calls. We schedule in agreed dates and periods for the PM&C program, and give you prior notification so you have time to prepare yourself. This service is available in Australia only at this point of time.

3 Air Permeability Tester Digital Model: A0003-PC The fully automatic Air Permeability Tester can quickly and accurately assess air permeability of various materials such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, industrial filter materials, as well as foam products. Carpet Dynamic Load Tester Model: D0009 The Carpet Dynamic Load Tester is used for determining the thickness loss of textile floor coverings under dynamic load. The specimen is subjected to a cyclic-loading treatment. The thickness of the specimen is measured before and after the procedure. Carpet Peel & Tuft Tester Model: C0051 Grips are used to securely fasten carpet sample pieces to the motorised tensile machine in order to conduct peel testing for backing material. Add the Tuft & Loop Withdrawal Fixturesfor a complete testing solution. Carpet Pile Thickness Gauge Model T0025 This unit is a portable, digital gauge that measures thickness of carpet pile. Range: 0 to 30mm x 0.01mm. Coefficient of Friction Tester Model: C0008 IDM s extremely popular COF Tester is used to determine the static and kinetic friction of plastic film, sheeting, paper and other sheeted material. This unit can measure Static COF (peak) from a resting position and continue to move testing surfaces in a relative motion to give an accurate kinetic COF (dynamic) result. This COF Tester employs a stationary sled with a moving plane. With the option of a computer software package to record data, the IDM COF Tester has proven itself to be a fast, reliable and accurate method of determining coefficient of friction in various areas of manufacturing.

4 Coefficient of Friction Tester Model: C0008-VS (Variable Speed) The C0008-VS model has all the same features as the C0008 with the addition of speed from mm/min using a stepper motor for acuate variable speed control. It also has a home setting so that once you have completed a test and unloaded your sample it will return to the start point HOME ready for the next sample. All the motion run controls are via a LCD touch screen for stop, start, home and speed changes. This COF tester is the next level in accurate and precise COF measurement for static and kinetic results, as with the C0008 Peel Testing and Heated Platen Testing can also be carried out on this model. Colour Comparative System Model: ColorStriker An extremely light weight instrument, the ColorStriker is userfriendly and can be used in various industries to test almost any material or surface type, including textiles, leather, paint, varnishes, wood, tiles, plastics and more. Users can easily create and manage a custom colour archive. With the integrated texture library, the desired colour effect can be checked on screen for a wide variety of applications (ie. Wood chips, textile materials, leather etc) Colour Fastness Tester Model: C0010 The Colour Fastness Tester is one of a series for determining the colour fastness of textiles to various agencies. It determines the colourfastness of textiles to light using an artificial light source. Crockmeter - Digital Model: C0019 The Crockmeter is designed to determine colour fastness from dry or wet tests. A test specimen is clamped to the base plate, where a peg is moved back and forth over the test specimen. Cutting Templates - Stainless Model: C0034 Manufactured from stainless steel with an easy to grip handle to provide a consistent cut out shape for example; Coefficient of friction testers, Colour fastness tester, etc.

5 Impact Testers for Flooring Model: I0003 Small Ball Impact Model I0004 Large Ball Impact These units are used to measure the resistance of impact on laminated surfaces / floor covering elements by the minimum impact force needed to cause visible damage to the surface under test. Martindale Abrasion Testers Model: M Workstations Model: M Workstations Model: M Workstations These instruments are used for testing the wearability and pilling properties of wool, wool blended, woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics. Repeatability of a single procedure or three velocities can be set as the instrument has six operational pre-set procedures. With its LCD display and touch screen operation the equipment is easy to use. Moisture Balances - MB Series Designed to effectively measure moisture content, the MB Series Moisture Analyzers incorporate halogen heating with precision weighing technology to give fast and accurate moisture content determinations. Moisture Meters Universal moisture meters determine the moisture content in paper, cardboards, wood, building materials, isolation and other materials. A range of moisture meters are available to suit applications and budgets. Permeability Cups - Vapometers Used for determining the water vapor permeability of sheet materials such as specialty paper grades, polyethylene, building material, leather, weatherproof clothing, vinyl, foil, laminates and other thin sheet materials. This property is essential in determining if a material is moisture proof or has the ability to protect contents from the transmission of water vapor.

6 Precision Balances Adventurer Pro Series Explorer Pro Series Voyager Pro Series IDM supplies a range of precision balances which offer all the features and durability found in high-end laboratory balances. Their advanced applications simplify even the most complex laboratory measurements. Static Load Tester for Carpet Model: S0011 The Static Load Tester for Carpet determines thickness loss of textile floor coverings after prolonged heavy static loading. A small test specimen is subject to a prolonged, heavy static loading treatment and the thickness is measured before loading and after various recovery periods. Tetrapod Abrasion Tester Model: T0004 The Tetrapod Abrasion Tester tests the mechanical action on surface texture of textile carpet. A cylindrical drum, is rotated so that the tetrapod walks over the specimens. The appearance of the tested specimen is compared to that of a concurrently tested specimen. Thickness Gauge for Soft Underlay Model: T0014 The Thickness Gauge is used for measuring the thickness of underlays, using a standard mass applied to the Pressure Foot according to the table in the Standard AS 4288 to determine the thickness. Cutting Dies Tool Steel Model: C0024 Tool Steel Cutting Dies are used for cutting of plastic film, paper and rubber samples used for tensile and tear testing (dumbbell, trouser, etc). They are manufactured to suit various international test standards and custom dies can be ordered upon request.

7 Universal Testing Machines IDM provides a range of UTM s which feature multiple testing capabilities including compression testing and tensile testing. UTM s eliminate the need of having multiple machines to perform various tests (i.e. compression and tensile). UTM s offer versatility and the ability to set up dual tests to speed up test set up, production & ultimately reduces operator fatigue & possible setup errors. Force & Torque Gauges IDM offer a wide range of digital force and torque gauges, grips and accessories which suit a variety of industries around the world, including rubber, medical, pharmaceutical, packaging, automotive, consumer products, aerospace, food and beverage and more.
