MARTINDALE-5000: Multi-Axis Wear Resistance Analyzer
Overview
The MARTINDALE-5000 quantifies the abrasion resistance of textiles, coatings, and composites using the Martindale method (ISO 12947, ASTM D4966). Designed for R&D labs and quality control teams, it simulates wear from friction, scraping, and mechanical stress to determine material lifespan.
Core Features
- Adjustable Testing Parameters: Configurable cycles (1–1,000,000), load weights (1–20 N), and abrasive wheels (CS-10, CS-17, H-18).
- Precision Measurement: Optical sensors track wear depth (±0.01 mm) and mass loss (%), while cameras monitor fiber breakage.
- Environmental Simulation: Heated stages (5–80°C) and humidity chambers replicate harsh conditions.
- Data Analytics: Generates wear rate graphs, COF (coefficient of friction), and compliance reports.
Applications
- Footwear: Test outsoles, insoles, and athletic gear.
- Automotive: Validate interior trim and tire tread durability.
- Industrial: Certify conveyor belts and filtration media.
Compliance
ISO 12947, ASTM D4966, EN 13329, JIS K7203.
Optional Add-Ons
- Custom abrasive wheels (ceramic, diamond-coated).
- Multi-axis testers for 3D wear simulations.
- High-speed cameras (1,000 fps) for micro-crack analysis.
Conclusion
The MARTINDALE-5000 provides unparalleled accuracy in wear resistance testing, empowering manufacturers to innovate durable materials.
