All
TABER Abrasers are assembled in a sturdy, sealed aluminum housing and operated
by a Control Panel Membrane.
A vacuum system is included with each abraser, and is critical for the proper operation of the instrument. The vacuum nozzle(s) is hinged to an adjustable mounting at the rear of the housing. This allows the height to be modified for accommodating varying specimen thickness.
Precision stainless steel weights of 250 grams and 750 grams are furnished to provide standard wheel loads of 500 and 1000 grams. NOTE: Weights are marked to show total load on each wheel. This marking includes the weight of the abrading arm.
Incorporated into the rear of the abraser are two additional electrical receptacles. Conveniently marked, each receptacle has been designated for the vacuum system or an optional accessory instrument.
NEW FEATURES!!!
A Quick Release Mounting Hub is now standard on all abrasers. An expanding collet hub with push-button operation permits quick wheel mounting without the need of a locking nut. A beveled retaining nut provides a positive locking force on the wheel hub retaining lip making certain that the wheels remain securely fastened until disengaged. This feature results in increased clearance for the vacuum pick-up nozzle and offers a larger viewing area for the test specimen.
The model 5135 and 5155 offer both 60 rpm and 72 rpm turntable speed. [The turntable speed on previous versions of the Taber Abraser was dependent on the electrical line current. At 115V/60Hz the turntable speed was 72 rpm and at 230V/50Hz the turntable speed was 60 rpm.]
The operator interface is an easy to use membrane panel with tactile feel buttons and a four line digital display. Simple on-screen instructions allow the operator to change the test parameters via the MENU button. An internal memory stores the data.
Four preset cycle buttons conveniently allow the operator to set commonly used test cycles.
A precision vacuum nozzle adjustment is easily accessible and controls the raising or lowering of the vacuum pick-up nozzle.
