Precision Testing with Motorized Inclined PlateThe COF-P01 utilizes a motorized inclined plate with precise speed control from 100 mm/min to 500 mm/min, allowing laboratories and manufacturers to accurately measure the coefficient of friction. Its robust stainless-steel plate and powder-coated construction ensure longevity and resistance to wear, making it ideal for frequent testing of a wide variety of materials.
User-Friendly Operation and Digital ConnectivityThe tester features simple operation with English-language controls, digital LED display, and two calibration modesautomatic or manual. Data output is easily managed via digital readout and USB export, along with optional RS232 interface. Its compact, tabletop mounting makes it convenient for integration into routine quality control processes.
FAQs of COF-P01 Inclined Surface Coefficient Of Friction Tester:
Q: How does the COF-P01 tester determine the coefficient of friction?
A: The COF-P01 operates by gradually increasing the inclination angle of its stainless-steel plate until the test specimen begins to slide. The digital system automatically records the angle and calculates both static and kinetic coefficient of friction values, providing accurate results for films, paper, and sheet materials.
Q: What is the process for calibrating the COF-P01 tester?
A: Calibration can be performed automatically via the onboard digital interface or manually following standard procedures. This ensures the accuracy of results. The system guides users through each step, making calibration quick and straightforward for consistent, reliable measurements.
Q: When should the emergency stop and overload protections be used?
A: The built-in emergency stop should be engaged if you notice any irregular specimen movement, unexpected operation, or if you need to halt the process immediately for safety. Overload protection is automatically activated if the unit detects forces exceeding its design limits, protecting both the operator and the machine.
Q: Where can the COF-P01 be installed for optimal use?
A: The COF-P01 is designed as a compact tabletop unit, ideal for laboratories, research and development centers, and quality control facilities. Its size and ambient noise rating (65 dB) make it suitable for workspaces where other testing or measurement equipment is operated.
Q: What materials and specimen sizes are suitable for testing with this device?
A: The tester is engineered for single specimens up to 80 mm x 200 mm in size and supports materials like plastic films, sheets, and papers. The robust sample holder ensures secure placement during the inclination test, and the variable speed accommodates material-specific testing requirements.
Q: How do users benefit from the digital output and data export features?
A: Results are displayed instantly on the LED screen with a resolution of 0.01 and can be exported via USB or optional RS232 interface. This facilitates efficient data logging, sharing, and analysis, enhancing traceability and streamlining quality assurance workflows.
