FAQ's of Abrasion Resistance Tester for Printing and Lable:
Q: How does the Abrasion Resistance Tester evaluate print and label durability?
A: The tester subjects print or label samples to wet and dry abrasion using a standard rubber wheel at an adjustable load. By presetting test cycles on the digital control panel, the machine precisely measures the resistance to surface wear, providing results upon cycle completion.
Q: What is the process for conducting an abrasion test with this equipment?
A: To perform a test, the user clamps one or two specimens (each 60 100 mm) into the adjustable fixture, selects wet or dry mode, sets cycles on the digital display, and starts the test. The machine automatically tracks cycles, applying abrasion over a 60 mm stroke, and stops upon reaching the preset count.
Q: When should an abrasion resistance test be performed in printing and label manufacturing?
A: Abrasion resistance tests should be conducted during product development, pre-delivery quality checks, or after material or process changes, to ensure the printed or labeled products meet durability standards required for real-world applications.
Q: Where can this tester be used?
A: The machine is ideal for quality assurance labs, production facilities, and R&D departments within printing and label production companies. Its compact, tabletop design fits easily into laboratory or workspace environments.
Q: How does the adjustable clamping fixture benefit the testing process?
A: The adjustable clamping fixture securely holds various sample sizes, providing flexibility and ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. It is easily adjustable, making sample insertion and removal simple and efficient.
Q: What are the safety and ease-of-use features included in the tester?
A: Key features include an emergency stop switch for immediate shutdown, low noise (<70 dB(A)), automatic stop at preset cycle count, digital control panel, and quick fixture adjustments, all enhancing operational safety and user convenience.
Q: What advantages does this tester offer to manufacturers and exporters?
A: With accurate measurements (1 cycle or 1%), semi-automatic operation, and robust construction, manufacturers and exporters benefit from reliable testing, improved product quality, and confidence in meeting international standards for abrasion resistance.
