Precision from Laboratory to Production
This year, everything at our booth revolved around a core requirement of modern industry: precise, efficient, and standard-compliant testing methods.
Our experts were able to demonstrate live how ERICHSEN testing solutions adapt seamlessly to the most diverse testing environments. Whether it involves precise analyses in highly specialized laboratory applications or robust, efficient test cycles directly during ongoing production – our standard-compliant measuring and testing instruments provide the reliability that is indispensable in modern coating technology.
Adhesion Testing: Proven Classics & Smart Innovations
A high-quality coating must reliably withstand daily mechanical stresses. Determining adhesion properties was therefore a central topic of many discussions at the trade fair.
Our classics, the Cross-Cut Testers 295, remain the indispensable manual testing instruments for a quick, practical, and standard-compliant evaluation of adhesion.
For more demanding, automated testing, the smart version of our scratch hardness tester, the SCRATCH HARDNESS TESTER 430 P-Smart, was met with great enthusiasm. Featuring a motorized drive and an intelligent control system, the device enables highly reproducible test series and quality analyses in the field of adhesion.
