PFT-1 Applications
This abrader tests the abrasion resistance of inks and coatings on a variety of items including membrane switches, silicone keypads, computer keys, buttons, or any item that is repeatedly pressed, in contact with the human finger. This abrasion wear tester supports test standard ASTM 1597 “Determining the Actuation Force and Contact Force of a Membrane Switch”.
This tester can be a standard to the auto, appliance, cell phone, plastics, and coating industries. It uses an inexpensive roll of throw away, or recyclable, abrasion media. All build-up error is eliminated and consistent readings are easily obtained.
Custom abrasive wear test probes and test programming available. Custom automated abrading test equipment can be supplied.
The Norman Tool Finger Tester is warranted against failure due to materials and/or workmanship for a period of six (6) months from date of delivery.
