TABER Oscillating Abrasion (Sand) Tester

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Oscillating Abrasion Tester 6160 is designed to measure resistance to surface abrasion and scratching, simulating real-life surface damage. It subjects test specimens to abrasive media, resulting in scratches, pits, and surface roughening.
Drive System: Utilizes a scotch-yoke drive system for even movement distribution, ensuring consistent abradant pressure. Test parameters are adjustable with variable stroke length and speed.
Testing Versatility: Features a detachable tray with an integrated specimen holder for flat specimens up to 1/2 inch thick. Custom holders can be developed for non-standard shapes. An optional kit is available for the "Bayer Test" on contoured lenses. Abrasive slurry can be used for small-scale erosion resistance tests.
Included Components: The tester includes a specimen tray with holder, specimen spacers, silica abrasive media, a 6” rule, a spirit bubble level, a specimen removal tool, and a disposable tray cover.
Standard Features: Adjustable stroke lengths from 0.25” to 6.0”, variable speed from 100 to 200 cycles per minute, stainless steel tray, vibration isolator mounts, and switchable voltage (115V/230V).
Optional Accessories: Bayer Test Kit, Alundum ZF-12 abrasive media, deeper stainless steel tray, and tray cover.

TABER Oscillating Abrasion (Sand) Tester-1

Oscillating Abrasion Tester 6160 Surface Abrasion / Erosion Testing Measure resistance to surface abrasion and scratching. The Oscillating Abrasion Tester generates surface damage reflective of what is commonly seen in real life. Test specimens are subjected to an abrasive media that shifts significantly within the tray resulting in scratches, pits and surface roughening on the specimen surface. Drive system provides consistent results. A scotch-yoke drive system allows an even distribution of movement centered on the tray. This ensures the pressure of the abradant is consistent for the duration of the test. Test parameters can be changed with an adjustable stroke length and variable speed. Detachable tray offers testing versatility. With the specimen holder integrated in a detachable tray, the standard test arrangement is intended for flat specimens up to 12 inch thickness. Customized holders can be developed to evaluate non-standard shapes. An optional test kit is also available to conduct the “Bayer Test” for contoured lenses. Additionally, using abrasive slurry allows for small-scale, controllable tests to assess material erosion resistance.
