Application

Textile Industry: Assesses carpet pile integrity for residential, commercial, and automotive applications.

Quality Control: Validates compliance with international appearance change standards.

Research & Development: Tests material resistance to abrasion, crushing, and pile distortion.

Certification Labs: Provides data for SATRA, ISO, and BSEN certification.

Product Advantages

Realistic Wear Simulation: Reciprocating mechanism replicates foot traffic and pile compression.

Rapid Testing: Completes substrate-based barrel tests within one working day.

Adjustable Parameters: Preset rotations (0–999.999 cycles) via digital counter.

Replaceable Components: Polyurethane hexapod feet (3.8 kg) last 2+ years and are easily replaceable.

Safety Design: Hinged cover with sensors prevents accidental access during operation.
