Adhesion Tester Features
Robust, durable measurement technology for the analysis of the adhesive and cohesive strength according to ISO 20502, DIN EN 1071-3 and ASTM C1624-05
Fully automatic single and serial measurements
Various measuring modes with options for constant, progressive or incremental load
Motion feed-back control for measurements on curved surfaces
Measuring force range 0.01 – 30 N (ST30)
Determination of zero point directly at the measuring spot
High-resolution microscope with 5x and 20x magnification; additional lenses available
Various optical filters ensure optimum sample analysis and scratch detection
Additional analysis methods: friction force measurement, friction coefficient determination, noise emission measurement, measurement of the remaining scratch depth
The device can be connected to any computer and is easy to use via the intuitive, in-house developed WinSCU software
Software additionally combines tangential force, indentation depth and acoustic emissions (scratch noise) in one evaluation
Easy to generate test reports and to export data
Configuration of sensors possible thanks to modular design of scratch test systems
Large sample chamber with high traversable Z-axis for measurements of samples with up to 10 cm in height without sample preparation
Standard issue with a Rockwell indenter (radius 200 µm); other indenters available on request
