Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester - TNG1002

The TNG1002 Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester is designed to evaluate the abrasion and pilling resistance of various textile structures. The instrument operates by rubbing a circular specimen against an abrasive material under a defined load, using a planar motion that forms a Lissajous pattern. This motion is generated by vibrations along two perpendicular directions, creating a consistent and repeatable test environment. The tester is suitable for testing knits, wool, and both synthetic and genuine leather. It supports testing according to SM50 rating chart cards with IWS and ASTM standards, and SM28 polyurethane ether foam as the abrasive material. The TNG1002 incorporates a patented digital algorithm that drives dual servo motors and precision slide rails, replacing traditional mechanical analog systems. This system ensures a reliable Lissajous curve, enhancing test accuracy. The instrument is capable of performing over 10 million cycles, equivalent to three years of continuous use, under test conditions involving rubber samples and double weights. The TNG1002 can connect to ERP or LIMS systems via a smart APP, facilitating data management and integration.

The Smartindale Martindale abrasion machine tests fabrics for abrasion and pilling. It tests knits, wool, and fake and real leather under pressure. It’s used in industries like textiles, footwear, and garments.

The Lissajous curve is calibration-free, making it a more reliable test.

The Smartindale Martindale Abrasion Tester utilizes a patented digital algorithm that powers dual servo motors and precision slide rails, replacing the traditional mechanical analog drive. This advanced system is designed to create a flawless Lissajous curve, enhancing the accuracy of the tests. It has undergone rigorous testing, successfully completing over 10 million cycles—equivalent to three years of continuous use. During these tests, rubber samples and double weights were employed, which only adds to its credibility. Importantly, despite the demanding testing conditions, the Pilling Tester consistently maintains an accurate and perfect Lissajous curve. As a result, this makes the Smartindale Martindale Abrasion Tester a more reliable choice for assessing the abrasion resistance of fabrics.

The Martindale Abrasion Tester can connect to ERP or LIMS through a smart APP.

The Martindale Abrasion tester works by rubbing a circular specimen against an abrasive. The abrasive is a standard fabric. This happens under a defined load in a planar motion. The motion forms a Lissajous pattern. Combining two trajectories creates the Lissajous curve. They come from vibrations along perpendicular directions.
