Originating from the legendary wear test of 1941

Interpretation of the American TABER brand

Many times, the quality of a product is not only judged by its appearance, but also by how well it can withstand the test of time and use. For example, are you also curious about why a piece of cardboard can remain flat and straight? How can a car interior pass multiple abrasion tests and still shine like new?

In order to make the paper smoother, the coating more durable, and the interior more scratch resistant, various testing instruments have been invented. And among these testing instruments, there is a name that is almost ubiquitous - TABER.

Since 1941, it has been using small testing instruments to provide repeatable and traceable testing data for factories and laboratories around the world.

At Zhanlin Instruments, we often recommend TABER's various wear-resistant, stiffness, and scratch testing equipment to customers because they not only represent industry standards, but also represent a quality worth choosing for the long term.

Since its establishment in Buffalo, New York in 1941, TABER has been dedicated to the research and development of material wear resistance and physical property testing instruments. It is famous for inventing the rotary abrasion test and quickly became the designated method source for the abrasion testing section in many international standards such as ASTM, ISO, TAPPI, etc.

For over 80 years, TABER has continuously optimized its product structure and expanded its testing programs: from initial rotational wear to later linear and reciprocating wear, to stiffness and multi finger scratch testing... Each device has left its mark in different laboratories, production lines, and R&D centers, helping companies ensure lasting quality from paper and plastic to automotive interior parts.

Today, Zhanlin Instruments would like to use this tweet to introduce several TABER testing instruments that are considered "benchmarks" in their respective fields, and see how they help protect product performance in various industries.

🌟 1700 Rotating Wear Tester

The TABER1700 rotary wear tester is an upgraded model of the original 5135/5155. It can provide reliable data within minutes to evaluate the wear resistance of materials. Suitable for testing suitcases, carpets, cardboard, clothing, glass, plastic coatings, ceramic tiles, metal coated furniture, etc.

·Classic rotating platform dual wheel design, realistic simulation of wear behavior

·60/72 rpm speed, vacuum suction system, fast results

·Support 100+standards such as ASTM D4060, ISO, etc

🌟 New 5770 linear wear tester

The 5770 linear wear tester is an upgraded version of the 5750 linear wear tester, designed specifically for testing curved or flat materials, and is highly suitable for evaluating samples of various sizes. To enhance the multifunctionality of the instrument, the 5770 linear wear tester can be equipped with different optional testing components to evaluate the relative resistance of material surfaces to various damages such as wear and tear, scratches, scrapes, and fading.

·Horizontal reciprocating motion, suitable for curved and flat specimens

·LCD touch screen, 8-speed, 11 stroke, 350g base load, expandable up to 2100g

·Supports wet/dry testing, with multiple testing accessories to choose from

🌟 New 150-T stiffness tester

The 150-T stiffness tester is an upgraded version of the original 150-E stiffness tester. The 150-T stiffness tester is suitable for testing products such as paper, cardboard, other sheet materials, and wire.

·Based on the principle of bidirectional pendulum clock measurement, the TAPPI/ISO standard requires a 15 ° deflection

·Touch screen settings, 9-range coverage from super soft to super rigid materials

·± 1% accuracy, supports g · cm/mN · m unit conversion and USB export

🌟 5900 reciprocating wear tester

The Taber 5900 reciprocating wear tester is particularly ideal for conducting various tangible damage tests on material surfaces, such as abrasion, scratching, etc.

·Specially designed for flat materials, compliant with standards such as ASTM 2496, GME 60248, GME 60368, GMW 14125, ISO 1518, etc

·Scratches, wear, and other behaviors can be simulated through different wear attachments

🌟 710 Multi Finger Scratch Tester

The TABER 710 scratch resistance tester uses tungsten carbide as a scratch finger to accurately detect surface wear caused by unconventional physical forms such as scraping, scratching, planing, etc.

·Multi finger scratch design, commonly used for testing automotive interior parts

·Accurately evaluate the scratch resistance of paint, plastic, and decorative parts

American TABER

Industry influence and professional strength

TABER's position in the field of material performance testing can be said to be the "name in the standard". From paper stiffness to plastic wear resistance, from scratch resistance of automotive parts to durability of electronic components, TABER's equipment is used as a global reference standard in both laboratory research and development stages and factory batch quality control.

In fact, TABER not only provides equipment, but also participates in the revision of standards such as ASTM, ISO, TAPPI for a long time. It is a designated or recommended instrument among many international testing methods. For example, the classic Taber Abraser rotational wear test has been written into hundreds of national and industry standards, becoming an indispensable solution for testing wear resistance.

What's even more special is that TABER has a complete vertical production system: from research and development design, mechanical processing, assembly, to calibration certification, all of which are completed in domestic factories in the United States. This system ensures product consistency and long-term traceability, and enables every TABER instrument that leaves the factory to work stably for many years or even more than ten years, continuously providing customers with reliable data.

Whether you are in the paper, printing, plastic coating, automotive interior, or electronic film and cable material industries, TABER can provide you with a comprehensive testing solution from wear resistance, scratches to stiffness.
