Useful for quality control as well as material or product development, the Multi-Finger Scratch/Mar Tester is ideal for evaluating plastics, rigid organic materials, paints and coatings, soft metals, linoleum, plus many others.
Maintenance Tips:
When not in operation, remove the scratch tools and place in its protective storage container. The precision cutting tips are fragile and must be handled with care
The scratch tools will eventually become dull through use and should be replaced on a frequent basis. A magnifier can be used to check the condition of the tool and compared to an extra tool (sold separately) reserved for standardization purposes.
To check the loading forces, measure directly under the scratch tip using a spring balance or equivalent.
The spline shaft fingers should move freely through the bearings. To adjust, consult the maintenance section of the operating instructions titled "Spline-Shaft Finger - Adjustment".
To test thick samples, it is possible to raise the height of the gantry by adding spacers. For additional information, contact an authorized Taber reseller and request part #134581.
The specimen platform protective guard can be replaced with part #132451.
The maximum inlet pressure is 150 psig. Do not exceed this.
It is recommended to clean and lubricate the air pressure regulator every 6 months - see operating instructions for additional details.
