TRIBOTOUCH Overview
The TRIBOTOUCH is a state-of-the-art device designed to simulate hand abrasion on surfaces, ensuring repeatable test results. It combines ease of use and functionality with an appealing design.

Hand Abrasion Testing
Hand abrasion, a complex chemical and mechanical stress, is simulated by the TRIBOTOUCH under real conditions according to international standards. This testing is crucial as abrasion marks can affect the perceived quality of a product.

Technical Features

Linear Motor: Utilizes a highly dynamic true linear motor for precise motion control.
Textile Feed: Features a linear textile feed system with automatic rewinding for long-term tests.
Multi Nozzle Wetting: Ensures homogeneous fluid application on textiles, enhancing test repeatability.
Probe Positioning: Equipped with laser pointers and distance sensors for accurate positioning.

Developer Menu and Testing Options
The developer menu allows customization of parameters such as speed, distance, and pauses for tailored test sequences. Additional weights are available to adjust the load, with options ranging from 1N to 30N.

Specialized Tests

Fingernail Scratch Test: Simulates the impact of fingernails on surfaces.
Nail-Scratch and Shoe Sole Test: Simulates scratching by fingernails and shoe soles, with specific speeds for automotive testing.

Highlights of the TRIBOTOUCH Design Linear motor The TRIBOTOUCH is using a highly dynamic true linear motor for accurate motion control over the whole life time. Positioning of the probe The TRIBOTOUCH is equipped with laser pointer and distance sensors for accurate and consistent positioning. Accurate control of the contact point is required to achieve reproducible test results. Linear textile feed The textile supply is on rolls. The special design allows accurate textile feed from the first to the last centimeter of the roll. Automatic textile rewinding Used textile is automatically wound up....

Developer menu The developer menu allows free adjustment of the parameters speed, distance and pauses. The menu is suitable for individual test sequences of the hand abrasion test and for linear tests. Express inspection slide For easy mounting of specimens and for quick inspection during testing. The slide is a combination of a mounting plate with clamping claws and specimen mounting by means of a vice. Additional weights The load (degree of sharpness) of the test object is adjusted with weights. The scope of delivery includes 1N, 5N and 10N. Additional weights are available individually or...
