The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance. Several tests can be performed including:dry rub-the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another, wet rub-the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another, wet bleed or transfer-ink transfer to a watersaturated blotter, wet smear-similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles, functional rub/wet rubsmear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion. An optional heated weight provides a uniform test for evaluating “hot abrasion” resistance of printed cartons, labels etc. FEATURES • Three speeds- The standard speed (42 cycles per minute) and two higher speeds (85 and 100 cycles per minute) allow you to decrease the testing time for samples requiring a higher number of rubs • Large character LCD Display • Displays count up, count down, test status and configurations • Preset counts remain in memory SPECIFICATIONS • Model: 10-18-01-0001 • Includes (1) 1.8 kg(4 lb) weight, (1) 0.9 kg(2 lb) weight, spare rubber pads, and scoring fixture • Heated weights 2 lb and 4 lb available • Replacement Pads available • Weight: 13.6 kg (30 lb) + weights • Automatic shut-off • Selectable “test complete” alarm • Electrical: Specify voltage when ordering • Two-year warranty STANDARDS ASTM D5264 Standard Practice for Abrasion Resistance of Printed Materials TAPPI T-830 Ink rub test of container board F1571- Method for Determination of Abrasion and Smudge Resistance of Images Produced from Business Copy Products FINAT FTM 27 -Ink Rub test for UV printed labels ink surface against substrate or ink surface APPLICATIONS Printing, Coatings, Packaging, Inks Main Headquarters Testing Machines Inc. 40 McCullough Drive New Castle, DE 19720 Tel: (302) 613-5600 Fax: (302) 613-5619 [email protected] Büchel BV t/a Messmer Büchel Fokkerstrat 24, 3905 KV Veenendaal, Netherlands Tel:+31 (0)318 521500 Fax:+31 (0)318 540358 Lako Tool and Manufacturing Inc. 7400 Ponderosa Road Perrysburg, Ohio 43552 Tel: (419) 662-5256 Fax: (419) 662-8225 Lawson Hemphill 1658 G A R Highway Swansea, MA 02777 USA Tel: (508) 679-5364 Fax: (508) 679-5396 Information@ lawsonhemphill.com Adamel Lhomargy SARL Z.A. de l’Habitat, Bâtiment 6 Route d’Ozoir, 77680 Roissy en Brie, France Tel:+33 (0) 1 64402910 Fax:+33 (0) 1 64409211 TMI Canada 40 McCullough Drive New Castle, DE 19720 Tel: (302) 613-5600 Fax: (302) 613-5619 [email protected]
