The ICCA is the first instrumented analyser to assess chip, cut & chunk resistance in rubber. A round rubber specimen is rotated at a user-defined speed while a pneumatically driven impactor strikes it. Force, stroke, duration and repeat cycle can all be defined by the user through the software interface.
All data on speed, force and travel distance is collected and can be exported as raw data. Quantitative assessment of chip and cut resistance is delivered as a direct measurement result through the innovative 'P' parameter — allowing correlation between laboratory testing and field performance.
- Programmable loading — force, stroke, duration and repeat cycle are all user-defined
- Integrated force measurement — 3D force sensor in the normal and lateral directions
- Automatic data analysis — direct quantitative result via the 'P' parameter
- Correlation between laboratory testing and field performance
- Four-leg level adjustment; safety door that cannot be opened during operation, plus an emergency stop button
Application
Analyzing the chip & cut resistance of rubber. Used particularly for durability assessment of rubber components operating under severe-service conditions, such as off-road, agricultural and mining tires.
