Features

The MEK Rub Test machine has been developed to combat the problem of inconsistent test results between operators.
This semi automated machine gives the line operator and quality control personnel the ability to duplicate results from the laboratory to the production line every time.
Easy to setup, simple to operate
Repeatable consistent results, constant pressure dead weight rubbing block
Front panel mounted controls
Minimal solvent usage, adjustable solvent flow metering valve
425cc solvent reservoir with auto shutoff control
Quick Change solvent pad system
Controlled Stroke count, counter can be set from 1 to 9999 strokes
CE Certified
Intrinsically safe - no electrics, all pneumatic operation.
Minimized operator contact with and exposure to Solvent

More Information

The variable stroke kit (10033) allows the user to run non-standard size panels so that a customer can test panels that are shorter in length than what is called for in the standards testing methods. When ordered with the machine as an option will be pre-installed at the factory. The kit can be added to the machine at anytime and only requires a basic amount of tools to retrofit to the machine.

Standards

Conforms to ASTM D7835, EN 13523-11, Reference: ASTM D4752, ASTM D2486, ASTM D5402; ISO 50230

Procedure

The front panel mounted controls make it simple for the user to program the required number strokes to run for a specified test, then simply lower the head, close the cover, and press the start button, the machine will do the rest.
This frees the operator to perform other QC test while the machine performs the rub test consistently and reliably with the added benefit of greatly reducing operator contact with and exposure to the solvents being used for the rub test procedure. Once the cycle counter reaches the preset number of strokes the unit will shut off the solvent flow and return to the start position ending the test.
The operator can return at any time to check the results of the Rub Test. The quick change solvent pad system means that preparing for the next test procedure is quick and efficient.
