ABRASION TESTING MACHINE FOR GLAZED TILES AZA1261
The AZA LAB Abrasion Testing Machine for Glazed Tiles (AZA1261) is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for the accurate determination of abrasion resistance in glazed ceramic tiles. Fully compliant with BIS 13630-11 and EN ISO 10545-7, this machine is essential for evaluating tile durability and surface wear performance in accordance with international quality standards.
The AZA1261 simulates real-world foot traffic and surface wear conditions, enabling manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality control departments to verify that glazed tiles maintain their appearance, texture, and integrity even under high-traffic usage.
Description
Design & Performance
The machine features a large 580 mm diameter rotating disc with a precisely controlled eccentricity of 22.5 mm, ensuring uniform and repeatable abrasion across the tile surface. A high-speed 1/4 HP electric motor drives the system at a controlled speed of 300 ± 10 rpm, delivering stable and consistent test conditions.
Designed for single-specimen testing, the AZA1261 ensures focused accuracy. The robust specimen holding ring with an 83 mm internal diameter securely clamps the tile, preventing movement or vibration during operation and guaranteeing reliable test results.
Digital Control & Repeatability
The system is equipped with a 4-digit preset electronic counter, allowing precise control over test cycles. The counter includes memory backup and a key-lock reset function, enabling repeatable testing and protecting test data from accidental reset—ideal for certified laboratory environments.
