For fabrics, abrasion resistance is a key indicator of their performance and durability. During the test, a friction component applies tangential friction to a rotating specimen, measuring the specimen's abrasion resistance.

The Schaubel abrader can be used to measure surface changes after friction or abrasion testing. It is a test method recommended by DIN 53863.2. GME Standard 60345. GMW Standard 3283. and VW/Audi Zentral-Norm PV 3908.

Operation:

Use the instrument's accessories to mount the temperature- and humidity-treated specimen on the specimen fixture to form a rotating test head. Use a dome height tester to adjust the test head's protrusion according to relevant standards or other requirements, typically 5-8 mm.

Mount the test head, with the specimen attached, onto the test head mounting plate on the instrument's workbench. Install and secure the test head by aligning the locating pins on the mounting plate with the locating holes below the test head.

Use the friction material clamp located on the instrument's pressure plate to attach the abrasive paper to the lower surface of the pressure plate. Tighten the clamp to ensure the abrasive paper is securely clamped and installed flatly.

Manually pull the pressure plate lift latch on the right side of the pressure plate to lower the pressure plate, bringing the abrasive paper into contact with the specimen surface on the test head.

Attach a weight of the appropriate weight to the weight shaft above the pressure plate (the instrument comes with one standard weight each of 1500. 1000. 500. 250. 100. and 50 g). Apply a specific frictional pressure to the specimen. The desired pressure value is determined by the specimen's weight per unit area.

The instrument automatically switches to the other direction after reaching the number of rotations set in one direction by the counter. When in manual mode, the instrument stops, and the test head begins rotating in the other direction by clicking the Start button. After reaching the total number of rotations set in the counter, the instrument stops, and the test process is complete.

The test can be terminated at any time by pressing the Emergency Stop button or the Reset button.

The instrument offers a variety of functions. After pressing the Pause button, pressing the Start button again will resume operation. Pressing the Emergency Stop button disconnects the instrument from the power supply, and the previous test program and recorded data will be lost when the instrument is restarted.

Maintenance:

1. The instrument must be placed on a stable surface before use.

2. Do not move the instrument during use.

3. Select the appropriate power supply voltage and avoid excessively high voltages to avoid damaging components.

4. If the instrument malfunctions, please contact customer service for prompt attention.

5. The machine must be operated in a well-ventilated environment.

6. Due to the heavy loads on the keypad components, lubricate them promptly.

7. Clean the instrument after each test to ensure it remains clean.

8. Wipe the control box with a dry cloth; do not use a damp cloth.
