Footwear Slip Resistance Tester
The Footwear Slip Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the anti-slip performance of complete shoes or outsoles on different floor surfaces such as glass, ceramic tiles, floor tiles, and wooden flooring.
It measures the friction coefficient between the shoe sole and the testing surface to determine slip resistance performance.

Test Principle
The shoe sample is fixed onto a fixture and subjected to a specified vertical load.
The test platform moves horizontally at a controlled speed. The system measures the friction force between the outsole and the standard test surface.
The computer selects friction data within a specified time and region to calculate the coefficient of friction (COF), which determines slip resistance performance.
