To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional corrugated carton puncture tester, which is of low detection accuracy, poor reliability, low automation and insufficient safety protection etc, a new corrugated carton puncture tester of high detection accuracy, easy operation and safety in use was developed by utilizing the modern control and detection technology. The equipment was composed of modules of energy bursting and transfer, detection of exposing energy, guiding movement, safety protection and automatic control with its controlling software adopting the LabVIEW. The testing verification result showed the new equipment had good stability and testing accuracy below 0.6 percent, which fully met the testing standard. At the same time, it could realize the automatic controlling on testing process, and had the function of automatic proofreading. Moreover, the double safety measures of pyramid limit and remote start could guarantee the safety of operators.
