AUTOMATIC FILM APPLICATOR

The TQC Motorised Automatic film applicator or drawdown machine provides a reliable basis to apply coating films to test charts, panels or foils in a uniform and reproducible way in order to eliminate variations caused by human factors. Variations in speed, pressure and direction of draw down cause irregularities. Other factors that may influence the result are the shear rate and the weight of the applicator. With the TQC Automatic film applicator these variable factors are being stabilised. Over the complete surface the film thickness is even.
To pre-pare samples for testing rheological properties, abrasion resistance, hiding power and gloss the TQC Motorised Automatic film applicator is a must have. Motorised Film Applicators are also used in the adhesives industry.

Multiple types of automatic film applicators are available for either glass/paper/metal substrates or foils. All models can be used in combination with standard block type film applicators such as bird/baker models,sagging and levelling testers or spiral bar type film applicators (wire wound rod type).

CYLINDRICAL BEND TEST 100MM INCL MANDREL SET (METRIC)

The TQC Cylindrical Bend Test is used to determine the elasticity adhesion and elongation of paint on sheet metal in accordance with ISO 1519. A test panel (max. size 150 x 100 mm) is bent over a cylindrical mandrel. The smaller the diameter of the mandrel, the larger the tension on the coating. The test panel is then checked for cracks or damage in the coating. The luxurious desktop holder with 14 mandrels can also be wall mounted. Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.

The TQC Buchholz Hardness Indentation Test provides a method for carrying out an indentation test on coatings complying with the ISO 2815-2003 standard. The TQC Buchholz Hardness Indentation Test consists of a calibrated slip-on weight with a sharp-edged metal wheel, an illuminated microscope, a level gauge, a digital dual timer, and two markers with template. The calibrated slip-on weight with sharp-edged metal wheel is positioned on the test specimen for a set period of time. The length of the indentation mark in the coating is an indication of the hardness of the surface. The Buchholz Hardness Indentation Test is a mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.

TQC Automatic Cupping Tester to perform a cupping (Erichsen / Dent) test on coated steel panels to define the resistance of paint, varnish or related products to cracking and/or detachment from a metal substrate when subjected to gradual deformation by indentation under standard conditions. The test is either used as a “pass / fail” test by testing to a specified depth or defining the minimum depth at which a coating fails by gradually increasing the indentation. The ISO1520 standard requires panels to be slowly deformed at a steady rate between 0,1 mm/s and 0,3 mm/s without interruption. Especially with thicker steel panels hand-operated testers not always allow an uninterrupted deformation. The TQC Automatic Cupping Tester is driven by a micro-step controlled electro motor which allows precise and steady deformation with 0,01 mm steps. Operation is intuitive by means of a jog-dial switch and a multi-lingual operating menu on a large illuminated display. An integrated LED powered sample illumination system comforts examining the coating under test. To guarantee maximum visibility of all possible types of surface including high gloss, matte or colored samples the angle of the LED light can be set. Choose light from just one or all directions. The strength of the LED’s is adjustable but also the colors can be changed to achieve maximum contrast. Mandatory test in Qualicoat and QIB accredited laboratories.
