Taber-type Rotary Abrader - Abrasion Tester QualiTA-III Features

• Operates and displays all parameters via a color touch screen, offering a more visual, simple, and user-friendly experience.

• Features a changeable working platform for wood abrasion testing (test panels with a maximum thickness of 25mm).

• Allows selection of various abrasion mediums for different tests.

• Offers adjustable specimen turntable speeds of 60 rpm and 72 rpm.

• LCD display enables precise and convenient settings and monitoring throughout the test.

• Includes three different stainless steel weights (500g, 750g, 1000g) to meet varying load requirements. Weights are clearly marked to indicate the total load on each wheel, including the 250g weight of the abrading arm.

• Abrading arms and wheel fixing sleeves are calibrated and balanced before leaving the factory.

• Equipped with a vacuum system and cleaner to remove loose abrasives or dirt.

• Precision vacuum nozzle adjustment allows height modification to accommodate different specimen thicknesses.

• Quick Release Mounting Hub allows for easy wheel mounting without the need for a locking nut.

• The cleaner operates in conjunction with the abrasion tester, automatically stopping when the test ends.

• Includes an S-11 resurfacing medium disc from Taber Company.

• Comes with a pair of standard abrasive rubber wheels (CS-10 or CS-17) from Taber* Company.

Taber-type Rotary Abrader - Abrasion Tester QualiTA-III

Taber-type Rotary Abrader - Abrasion Tester QualiTA-III, available in A and B versions for various sample thicknesses, is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance of various coatings, as well as materials like paper, plastic, textile fabric, and decorations.

Two abrasive rubber wheels are mounted on pivoting arms and pressed against the rotating test specimen under the specified test load. The eccentric alignment of the wheels' axes relative to the rotation axis generates crosswise abrasive wear in a ring-shaped zone (approximately 30 sq. cm). The mass loss of the coating due to abrasion after the specified number of cycles is measured.

The level of abrasion also depends on the applied load force (500g, 750g, or 1000g per arm), which exerts a pressure of 250g on the axis of the two arms.

It complies with DIN 52347, 53109, 53754, 53799, ISO 5470, 9352, 3573, 4586-2, 7784-2, and ASTM C217, D1044, D3389, D4060, D5342.
