Test Procedures
Place the test specimen on the friction head platform.
Adjust the sample arch height and apply the desired tangential load.
Select test mode (manual or automatic) via the touchscreen interface.
Start the test; the sample rotates under the friction head.
The instrument automatically stops every 100 cycles for operator adjustment.
After completion, evaluate surface wear and abrasion patterns on the test specimen.
Maintenance Information
(1) Regularly check and clean the friction head and loading platform.
(2) Verify load weights and sample fixture alignment before testing.
(3) Inspect moving parts and lubricate as necessary to ensure smooth rotation.
(4) Maintain a stable power supply and check electrical connections.
(5) Store the instrument in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
