Quick Release Wheel Hub
Retrofit your Taber Abraser with the Quick Release Wheel Hub. An expandable collet hub design permits quick wheel mounting. Activated by a push button, a spring-loaded, beveled retaining nut provides a positive locking force on the hub retaining lip making certain that wheels remain securely fastened until disengaged. By eliminating the left and right hand locking nuts, the viewing area of the test specimen is increased and interference with the vacuum pick-up nozzle is eliminated.
Sample
Cutter [part# 985000]
Prepare your specimens for the TABER® Abraser (Abrader)
using this bench top cutter. The Model 5000 Sample Cutter
will cut precise, 4.2" circular samples with a ¼" center hole.
An easy clockwise cutting motion allows you to cut
a variety of materials. Optional pads allow you to cut materials
in thickness of 0.001" to 0.25".
With a recessed cutting blade, shielded punch drive shaft,
and ergonomic handle, this rugged instrument was designed
for safety and can be used in any production or laboratory
environment.
 Diamond
Wheel Refacer [part# 980250]
To ensure accurate test results, Calibrade abrading wheels should
be precision dressed when
abrading surfaces are
out of round, crowned or clogged with abraded material. The
Diamond Wheel Refacer allows you to true and completely renew
the working surfaces of your TABER abrading wheels.
Wheels are located on a flanged extension of the motor shaft,
and enclosed by a hinged cover for safety. A diamond tool,
mounted on a shielded traverse slide, permits light cuts across
a pair of wheels providing identical wheel diameters.
Attaching the abraser vacuum to the receptacle hole of the
refacer will enable you to draw off the abrasive cuttings
and maintain a clean work area.

(used to reface H-38 Calibrade© Wheels)
Quiet
Cabinet
 The typical sound level of operating a TABER Abraser (Abrader) and its
vacuum system can reach 78dB. With the Quiet Cabinet, you
can reduce this level by approximately 20%.
Comprised of an upper and lower unit, this solid wood cabinet
blends with any laboratory environment. The upper cabinet
provides a convenient, dust-free work space for your Abraser
and features a Plexiglas viewing window to monitor testing, and detachable front for easy transfer of Abraser into or out of the cabinet. The
lower cabinet holds the Abraser Vacuum Unit and includes a
built-in exhaust system to provide the proper air circulation.
Both cabinets offer ample room to store test specimens, supplies,
and accessories.
The Quiet Cabinet can be purchased as a complete unit or the
top half or bottom half only. The lower cabinet exhaust system
is available for 115V, 60Hz or 230V, 50Hz (CE marked).

Abraser and vacuum system sold separately
 Abraser (Abrader)
Vacuum Unit
The Abraser (Abrader) Vacuum Unit is manufactured specifically for use
with the TABER Abraser (Abrader), and incorporates a heavy-duty motor
with life-lubricated sealed bearings. Mounted above a sturdy
tank, the motor is kept clear of dust and debris resulting
from your testing.
A flexible suction hose is provided to connect the vacuum
unit with the abraser or other accessory instrument. And a
round clean-up brush aids in cleaning loose debris from the
instrument or surrounding work area.
 Clean-Up
Hose
[part# 129280]
Using the vacuum only feature on your abraser, this simple
accessory makes clean-up easy. The hose mounts to the rear
vacuum nozzle opening. The small brush is ideal for cleaning
test specimens, the abraser or your work area without the
need to disconnect the vacuum hose from your abraser.
Grit Feeder
When used with the TABER Abraser (Abrader), the Grit Feeder provides
a unique method to evaluate 3-body abrasion resistance on a variety
of materials. This instrument was originally designed to simulate
abrasion caused from grit embedded in leather soled shoes
and is  typically
used to test flooring.
Aluminum Oxide grit particles are evenly distributed onto
the specimen wear path, and pass under a pair of leather wheels.
This loose grit acts as an abradant and aids in the rolling
action that contributes to the physical breakdown of materials.
The Abraser Vacuum is attached to the grit feeder, and continuously
removes both abraded material and used grit.
Two Grit Feeder models are available. Model 255 offers left
hand or right hand positioning, plus a hand crank makes adjusting
nozzle height more precise allowing for improved repositioning
of samples.

 Scuffing
Attachment
Mounted to
the left hand abraser arm mount, a scuffing head and weight
are used in place of the abrading wheels. As the table rotates,
the scuffing head is dragged across the specimen surface.
There are three standard scuffing heads:

•
meets
General Motors Test Method GM9911P, and includes C"
head and a 1 lb. weight Haze Kit [part# 132615]
This kit is recommended for those customers who evaluate haze measurements on transparent materials using a haze meter. Included in the kit is a modified vacuum pick-up nozzle; 2” soft bristle, anti-static brush, and 1/32” vacuum gap gage pin. The modified vacuum pick-up nozzle includes two precision machined 7/16” orifices, and is electro-etched “Haze Test Nozzle – Modified Openings” to distinguish this nozzle from the standard version (which includes two 5/16” orifices).
Arm Height Extension Kit [part# 132690 and 132705]
This kit permits the testing of samples up to 40mm. Using precision-machined adaptor, abraser (abrader) arms are raised to accommodate specimens that exceed the recommended maximum thickness. Located off a reference point, tolerances are maintained to ensure correct wheel alignment and positioning. A set of shims is also included to maintain proper position of the arms relative to the test specimen. [Requires instrument to be returned to factory for modification and calibration.]
Calibration Verification Kit [part# 132030]
The Calibration Verification Kit enables operators to check critical parameters to verify the performance of a TABER Rotary Platform Abraser (Abrader). This fast, reliable system check identifies potential concerns signifying when the instrument should be returned for adjustment or repair. [Not intended as a substitute for regular calibration.] |
