To determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures.Samples are rubbed against known abradents at low pressures and in continuously changing directions and the amount of abrasion or pilling is compared against standard parameters. The unique design allows revoval of individual sample holders for examination without lifting the top motion plate. Provided with unique programmer which includes preprogammable batch and totaliser counters, individual station counters, 4 position parking function, 4 selectable test speeds with liquid crystal display.

Standard sample holders and 9 and 12kpa weights are included. For other configurations and supplies, see below.

Available with 4,6,8 or 9 test positions and enhancement kits to convert 6 position tester to 7, 8 or 9 positions, 8 position tester to 9 positions.
