1 SL-10 Laboratory Hot Tack / Seal Tester TMI Group of Companies

2 SL-10 Laboratory Hot Tack / Seal Tester Program Features Note: Current as of 11/12/07

3 Program Interfaces Simple operator test parameter inputs Save and load parameters from operator named recipes Software operates in English or Metric units Hot Tack Force readings available in Grams or Newtons Five Test Modes to Choose From: Hot Tack Hot Tack Profile Seal Test Seal Test Profile Heat Seal

4 Program Interaction Software interaction through the use of the touch screen, mouse and/or the keyboard Buttons on each interface provide descriptions for software and machine functions Selection with in any of the parameter text boxes will provide the operator with an onscreen keypad for parameter input

5 Main Menu

6 Hot Tack & Seal Test Operator Interface Using the Load from Saved Settings feature allows for storage and recall of saved parameters under operator named recipes Test result data for temperature, sealing force, and peel force are displayed on the operator interface for reference The Tools menu provides: Options menu for automatic selection of peel force, ASTM failure modes, and graph options (See Data Point Selection Methods slide) Graph Scaling menu for setting automatic or fixed maximum graph scale based on peel force output

7 Hot Tack & Seal Test Interface

8 Profile Operator Interface Similar parameter setup as Hot Tack and Seal Test testing interfaces with the addition of ending temperature, temperature increment, and samples per group Upper and lower heat can be set to increment the same amount or keep the lower heat at a set temperature and only increment the upper Automatic lock out of all parameters after the Profile is initiated to avoid any operator interaction while testing The Tools menu provides the same options as the individual testing interfaces The Profile menu provides: Option to skip any temperature group

9 Hot Tack Profile & Seal Profile Interface

10 Data Point Selection Methods Options to automatically or manually select the required force from the graph Force Selection Options: Manual Selection Graph Peak Graph Average Point in Distance Point in Time Peak (time) Between Peak (distance) Between Average (time) Between Average (distance) Between

11 Data Selection

12 Data Output Individual test graphs for Hot Tack & Seal Test Profile test graphs for Hot Tack & Seal Test Profile text report for Hot Tack & Seal Test Text report directly exported to default printer or text file Access Database collection for all 5 sealing interfaces Database makes all test parameters and test results available for r data processing, custom queries, and test reporting. file exporting for Hot Tack & Seal Test Individual & Profile Testing Excel

13 Graphs A data output graph is generated after each individual peel test Profile tests generate a graph while the tests are being run, this graph can be viewed or edited at any time All Individual test graphs display the following data: test type, date & time, selected force, failure mode, recipe name, operator comments and all test parameters

14 Individual Test Graph Graph is displayed in Peel Force over Distance or Time Can be printed or saved as a file Comments section for operator notes Graph Interaction: Zoom Print Change between distance/time views Cursor a Window to show Average and Peak Values Delete Test Scroll through previous tests Individual test note box

15 Individual Test Graph

16 Profile Test Graph Hot Tack and Seal Test Profiles Upon completion of a Profile Test a graph is generated Graph is displayed in force over temperature Graph Interaction: Zoom Print Delete Profile Scroll through previous Profile tests Profile note box Individual Profile test selection and viewing Editing Profile Options: Edit an individual test Add a Single sample Add a Group of samples at a specified temperature Replace a single test or group of tests Delete a single test or group of tests

17 Profile Graph

18 Export Functions for Profile and Individual Test Graphs Exporting functions support : Hot Tack & Seal Test Profile graphs Hot Tack & Seal Test Profile overlay s Individual Hot Tack & Seal Test graph overlays Temperature group overlay Note: MS Excel version 2000 or above must be installed on the SL-10 for the exporting functions

19 Profile Excel Export File Test parameter information Excel generated Profile graph Test results data report Average force for each temperature group and standard deviation are calculated automatically

20 Profile Excel Overlay File Choose from both Hot Tack and Seal Profile tests to overlay Generates graph & data comparisons for up to 10 profile tests Allows for additional comments or editing of any information through Excel

21 Individual Test Overlay Individual tests to overlay and export to an Excel file. Any individual graphs within profile or individual tests can be chosen Provides a graph and data comparison for up to 10 tests

22 Single Group Overlay Select any group from a Profile graph to overlay the individual tests within that temperature Options to export from the Profile graph menu or by selecting any test within the temperature group

23 Program Demo A desktop demo version of the SL-10 LakoSealer program can be run on a personal computer for demonstration purposes Please contact your local sales representative for further information
