Analysis system for metalworking
Абразиметр

• Simple tribometer design, compact and modern design;
• Short time to warm up the installation;
• Possibility of using various working fluids and sample materials (with and without coatings). The base material of the plate must be electrically conductive;
• Plate length can be measured by installing linear displacement transducers (LVDT);
• The presented tribometer layout allows for quick sample changes;
• The design of the tribometer is made of high-strength materials;
• The installation delivery set includes all necessary additional equipment and accessories for calibration and maintenance of the installation;
• Automatic generation of an experiment report.

The computer-controlled DUCOM Abrasive Meter is equipped with highly sensitive sensors to monitor load, abrasive flow, rotation speed and temperature. The test unit transfers the load to a rotating rubber/ceramic/metal disc using pneumatics. The rotation of the disk is controlled by a motor with a speed sensor. The suspension medium can be heated to 100°C. Abrasive particles from the hopper are fed into an electric motor, which controls the flow of particles until contact between the wheel and the block. During the test, the friction force sensor senses the friction between the disc, block and abrasive particles. All sensor data is displayed in the WinDucom program.
