Customer Case: G282 Universal Wear Tester

A leading textile and material testing laboratory, serving clients in automotive, apparel, and industrial sectors. The lab requires versatile wear testing solutions to evaluate abrasion resistance, pilling, edge wear, and surface durability across a wide range of materials including woven and knitted fabrics, coated fabrics, non-woven fabrics, felts, plastics, rubber, leather, paper, and yarns.

Challenges

Existing testing equipment lacked automation, requiring manual counting and monitoring during wear tests.

Frequent sample changes slowed down testing efficiency.

The lab needed a single instrument capable of performing multiple abrasion tests to comply with international standards.

Solution

The customer adopted the G282 Universal Wear Tester, a fully automatic wear testing instrument designed for precision, efficiency, and versatility.
