Calo Tester kaloMAX NT II

Product catalog summary

Overview: The kaloMAX NT II is a ball cratering test device designed for determining wear coefficients, primarily used in coating analysis. It offers reproducible measurements of wear and scratching resistance, layer thickness measurement, and is suitable for quality assurance and coating development across various materials including hard coatings, lacquers, and plastic coatings.

Key Features:

Reproducible measurement of wear and scratching resistance.
Measurement of layer thickness without calibration, even for multilayered coatings.
Comfortable operation with easy positioning using a cross table.
Suitable for both plane and curved parts.

Methodology:

The device grinds a wear crater into the coating.
The diameter of the crater is determined using a microscope.
The wear coefficient is calculated from the normal force, sliding distance, and volume of the wear crater.

Advantages:

Quick testing process, taking only a few minutes.
Optimized test parameters for hard coatings.
High reproducibility and accuracy due to a special abrasive slurry.

Technical Data:

Ball diameter: 15 mm to 30 mm.
Speed range: 20 – 500 1/min.
Programmable parameters: grinding path, period, number of revolutions, dosage time.
Clamping range: 50 mm for plane parts, 3 – 30 mm for round parts.
Cross table travel: 25 x 25 mm.
Dimensions: 305/295/295 (h/w/d).
Weight: approx. 8 kg.
Compressed air supply: max. 6 bar.

Scope of Delivery: The kaloMAX NT II comes with a cross table and pneumatic dosing device for the abrasive slurry. Optional accessories include abrasive slurry with reference sample, calibration certificate by IST, laser pointer, gauge for adjusting normal force, microscopes (optionally with video camera), and software for wear coefficient calculation.
