Models
The TABER® Abraser (Abrader) is available in two
models - single or dual specimen tables. Both offer the same
durable design and can be used interchangeably. With the
introduction of the model 5135 and 5155, Taber Abrasers are
now available as 115/230V; 60/50Hz switchable and offer many
new features.
TABER® Abraser (Abrader) - Model 5135
Model 5135 (shown in above picture) features a single
specimen turntable.
TABER® Abraser (Abrader) - Model 5155
Model 5155 features a dual specimen turntable, which allows
you to perform two tests simultaneously (test two different
or identical specimens for comparison or contrast). Separate
function keys operate the turntables independent of each
other.
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.
