Martindale abrasion & pilling tester Manufacturer

Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester GT-C13B

Application
The Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester GT-C13B offers a new and upgraded design, driven by a dual servo system. Its motion is based on a precise Lissajous trajectory, generated by advanced digital algorithms. The operation is highly accurate, featuring a fully automatic one-click calibration system.

Equipped with six versatile test modes—abrasion 60×60, pilling 24×24, 60-X, 60-Y, 24-X, and 24-Y—the system seamlessly switches modes with a single click, eliminating the need for additional hardware adjustments. This machine is ideal for evaluating the abrasion and pilling resistance of various textile structures. During testing, samples are subjected to low-pressure rubbing against specific abradents with continuously changing directions, and their performance is compared against standardized benchmarks.

Features
1. Standard Motion Trajectory: Supports both Lissajous figure and straight-line motion for diverse testing needs.
2. Flexible Testing Positions: Options include 4, 6, 8, or 9 working positions to accommodate multiple samples simultaneously.
3. Counting Methods:
Count-up mode for progressive tracking.
Count-down mode for preset testing cycles.
4. Standardized Sample Holders: Includes weights for 9 kPa and 12 kPa to ensure precise testing conditions.
5. User-Friendly Interface: Operated via a 7-inch color touch screen with support for both Chinese and English languages.
6. Durable Build: Weights and key components are constructed from stainless steel for enhanced durability and a sleek finish.
7. Robust Motion Plate: The top motion plate is crafted from 316 aluminum alloy to prevent distortion, ensuring accurate results over extended use.
8. Innovative Support Design: The upgraded structure eliminates reliance on steel ball support, reducing wear-related risks and ensuring even cover plate performance. The foldable cover plate enhances ease of sample loading and result observation.
9. Easy Maintenance: Integrated lubricating oil injection holes simplify maintenance, allowing for stable, long-term machine operation.
