Testing Principle
The Double-Head Abrasion Tester simulates actual wear and color transfer by driving friction sliders to reciprocate across the sample surface using a motor. The interaction between the sliders and the surface generates friction, allowing you to evaluate abrasion resistance and ink adhesion under different speeds, weights, and cycle counts.
Operation Instructions
Secure the sample on the test table, ensuring a flat surface.
Select dry or wet abrasion mode according to your testing needs and install the appropriate weights.
Set the desired test speed (21, 42, 85, or 106 rpm) and number of cycles.
Start the instrument and observe the process. After testing, turn off the power.
Exercise caution to avoid contact with rotating parts and high-pressure sliders.
Experimental Procedure
Place and secure the test sample on the test platform.
Install slider weights and select the test mode (dry or wet abrasion).
Choose the appropriate speed and cycle count, then start the test.
After completion, record surface wear, including color loss, scratches, or smudging.
Evaluate the abrasion resistance of ink or paper and, if necessary, repeat the test to verify data consistency.
