Writing Test Machine for Pens and Cosmetics

If you buy or produce:
	ball pen, gel (jelly) or roller tips refills markers and fibre pen ink for ball pen ink for markers and fibre pen ink for roller pen ink for gel (jelly) pen fully assembled ball pens and markers! paintbrushes cosmetic brushes lipsticks or pencils

you absolutely must have our MINIWRITE/XP/L writing test machine!

Actually only with its new high precision microprocessor control you can test the quality of your pens, refills or inks and now even paintbrushes or cosmetic pens in an absolutely objective and repetitive way, as all writing conditions are tightly under control. A practical multi functional touch screen helps you to check at any time all important parameters with most indications in clear English.

Thanks to a very sophisticated software, you can now define exactly the paper advancement during each revolution regardless of writing speed for easier handling and better comparison of different tests. Standard minimum advancement is 0.3 mm per revolution (but you can ask for a lower value as you wish) so that you will save a lot of paper for life tests of most refills.

Additional information like the time needed to complete the current test and the length of paper required are available at any time.

But the most important feature of MINIWRITE/XP/L is the ability to rise and lower the pens under test.

This feature will allow you to continuously test the starting behaviour of your writing instrument.

Normally the presence of on operator is needed at the end of the test as otherwise many types of pens would leak if they remain in the same place for a long time. With MINIWRITE/XP/L all tested instruments will automatically rise at the end of the test and the presence of an operator is no more required.

MINIWRITE/XP/L is especially used in cosmetic industries, as it allows to test lipsticks or brushes with short strokes in the same way a lady would use them to make up.
The length of the strokes may be modified in a large range. Further it is possible to insert a variable delay between one stroke and the next one in order to allow the brush to regenerate if needed.

You can easily modify following parameters:

writing speed of refill (in meters per minute) paper advancement (in mm per revolution) length of writing test (in meter) automatic stop after a predefined writing length (in meter) momentary pause and restart at same speed and paper advancement writing angle writing force ranging from 0.7 to 2 N (definable at order) automatic lift down at start of test automatic lift up at end of test drawing short strokes (ideal for testing cosmetic pens and starting behaviourof pens) delay between strokes

All modified parameters will be remembered by the machine even after switching it off.
