| Grit
Feeder Model 155/255 - Three-Body
Abrasion Testing |
| Expand
testing methods for Taber® Rotary Abrasers. |
| The
Grit Feeder is used to evaluate three body abrasion caused
by the destructive action of fine hard particles. Loose
grit passes under a pair of leather clad brass wheels, and
serves as the abradant. The resulting rolling action of
the particles contributes to the physical breakdown of materials. |
| Instrument
evenly distributes grit particles. |
| Positioned
over a Taber® Rotary Abraser, this freestanding
unit deposits aluminum oxide grit particles uniformly and
continuously, at a specified rate. After passing under the
leather wheels, used grit and any abraded material is removed
by the Abraser vacuum system. |
| Two
models offer simple set up. |
| Mounted
off the left side of the Abraser, Model 155 utilizes an
alignment guide screw to set the position of the instrument.
Grit distributor and vacuum removal nozzle heights are adjusted
using a thumbscrew. An alignment block is incorporated into
the base of Model 255, to ensure the correct location of
the grit feeder in relation to the Abraser. With the ability
to mount on either the right or left hand side, two instruments
can be used in conjunction with the Taber® Dual
Rotary Abraser. A telescoping feature allows precise height
adjustments, and permits testing of thicker specimens, up
to 50mm (2 inches). |

| Micro-Abrader
Model 8000 - Micro-Particle Erosion and Wear Abrasion
Testing |
| Precision
controlled air system ensures exact results. |
|
Micron-sized abrasive powder is mixed with pressurized air
to generate the abrasive flow. Equipped with a patented
modulator system, the instrument uses stabilized clean air
to deliver the powder in a steady and consistent flow. |
| Micro-Abrader
system offers testing versatility. |
| Micro-Abrader
system offers testing versatility. Of the different variables
for erosion and wear testing, the characteristics (size,
shape and hardness) of the abrasive powder is the most significant
for determining how aggressive the wear process will be.
Other system factors that can be optimized for each material
include: air pressure, rate of powder flow, nozzle orifice
and design, duration of test, angle of abrasive stream to
the specimen, distance between the nozzle and specimen,
and dust collection. |
| Workstation
provides clean testing environment and storage area. |
| Integral
to the system is a workstation to confine the abrasive powder
and maintain a clean test area. A dust collection system
is used to remove the media during testing. Illuminated
by a fluorescent lamp, the test area is viewed through a
hinged, tempered glass window that is sloped for maximum
visibility and reduced glare. |

| Quiet
Cabinet |
| Reduce
noise levels associated with the Taber® Rotary Abraser operation. |
|
Reduce noise levels associated with the Taber® Rotary Abraser
operation. The typical sound level of operating a Taber®
Abraser and its vacu-um system can reach 78dB. Utilizing
sound deadening materials, the Quiet Cabinet reduces this
level up to 20%. The result is a noise level comparable
to a standard office environment, and enables a normal conversation
to be conducted in the vicinity of the testing. |
| Re-designed
for optimal performance. |
|
The upper cabinet features a hinged Plexiglas viewing window
to monitor testing. A detachable front permits easy transfer
of the Abraser into or out of the cabinet. Plus, side vacuum
hose openings (left or right) allow the top to be used as
a standalone cabinet. The lower cabinet holds the Abraser
Vacuum unit and includes a built-in exhaust system to provide
the proper air circulation. Ample room is available to store
test specimens, supplies, and accessories. |
| Built
for laboratory or production settings. |
| The
Quiet Cabinet provides a convenient, dust-free workspace
for your Taber® Abraser. Constructed with solid
wood, a high-pressure laminate outer shell is used for added
durability. Aesthetically pleasing, the Quiet Cabinet blends
with any laboratory or manufacturing environment. |

| Taber®
Abrading Wheels |
| Taber®
abrading wheels produce characteristic rub wear action. |
|
Two abrasive wheels create the circular wear path recognized
as a Taber® Rotary Abraser test. As specimens are subjected
to the rub-wear action of the wheels, the abrasion marks
form a pattern of crossed arcs resulting in a circular ring.
This process abrades the sample over all angles of grain
or weave, and covers approximately 30 square centimeters. |
| Analytical
grade abrasive materials ensure test repeatability. |
|
The composition of Taber® abrading wheels has been carefully
chosen and a rigorous quality program maintains the uniformity
of the wheels. Used in pairs, each wheel is labeled left
or right to assure the mounting position will be duplicated
should the wheels be removed and later reinstalled. The
wheels should be refaced according to recommended practice,
and can be used to their minimum usable diameter of 45mm
(1¾ inch) O.D. |
| Offered
in a range of abrasiveness for a range of material evaluation. |
|
The choice of abrading wheels should be based upon the wear
the specimen material will be subjected to in actual use.
Calibrase® wheels are a resilient type, typically used to
test rigid specimens. Calibrade® wheels are vitrified, and
are often used to evaluate flexible specimens. Other wheels
are available for specific or unique applications, and custom
formulations can be developed upon request. |

|
The refacing diamond is mounted in an adjustable diamond
tool holder, which is supported on a shielded traverse slide.
Abrading wheels are mounted on a flanged extension of the
motor shaft. A durable, cast housing provides ample weight
to prevent chatter during operation. Attaching the Taber®
Abraser vacuum unit hose to the rear receptacle draws off
abrasive cuttings. |

Accessories |
| Record
test details on each specimen. |
|
Specimen mounting cards (S-36 and S-36-1) provide a unique
way to capture pertinent test data on each specimen. On
the back of smooth card stock is a printed test report that
enables critical information to be recorded. A pressure
sensitive adhesive makes these cards ideal to mount flexible
specimens. Plus, they prevent the formation of wrinkles
caused by the rub-action of the abrading wheels. Mounting
cards are offered in 4¼
inch (108mm) square or round formats. |
| Mounting
sheets provide non-slip attachment. |
|
Coated on both sides with a pressure sensitive adhesive,
specimen mounting sheets (S-37 and S-37-1) permit the testing
of samples without a centre hole. The adhesive sheet allows
you to affix specimens directly to a specimen table that
does not have the mounting screw. One side consists of a
printed test report, permitting use of the sheet as a mounting
card. Mounting sheets are offered in 4¼
inch (108mm) square or round formats. |
|
Specimen plates enable the testing of coatings. |
|
Taber® offers a selection of specimen plates
to assist with the evaluation of coatings. Different substrates
permit testing based on the usage of the product, and include:
wood, steel, aluminum, zinc, glass, and plastic. |

| Specimen
Tables - Taber® Abraser Mounting Options |
|
Standard table satisfies most applications. |
|
The specimen table equipped with the Taber® Abraser
has been designed to work with most materials. This 4¼”
(108mm) diameter table includes a clamp plate and nut to
test rigid materials, and a specimen hold-down ring (E100-101)
to be used for flexible materials. A rubber pad (S-19) is
provided to ensure a non-slip surface. |
|
Different configurations designed for specific materials. |
|
To expand the versatility of the Taber® Abraser, interchangeable
specimen tables are available to evaluate materials not
easily tested with the standard table. Engineered with a
