Using the same principles as the Elcometer 3000 Manual Clemen Unit, the motor brings the tool gently in contact with the sample, whatever the load, variable from 0 to 5000g (176.4oz), moves across the coating and then gently lifts it with the automatic Start/Stop function.
The contact of the tool with the metallic substrate is indicated by a lamp and voltmeter. This unit has a significant benefit over the manual version as more repeatable and reproducible results can be obtained due to the uniformity of both speed and movement.
The Elcometer 7210 Pocket Microscope is an extremely practical microscope used for site inspections.
Having x30 magnification and a inbuilt light source, the Elcometer 7210 Pocket Microscope is the ideal choice for close up investigation of defects and surface cleanliness. For a microscope with graduated reticules for coating and crack width measurement: Our W90018568-D is a good option.
The Elcometer 3000 Motorized Clemen Unit is a robust and accurate instrument for evaluating the resistance to scratching of a coated surface. The sample can be metal, wood, glass, plastic or other hard materials.
A tool is fitted with a hemispherical tip of 1mm (0.04”) diameter (standard), lowered gradually on to the sample surface which is then pulled linearly 60mm (2.36”).
As the sample is pulled the tool lowers automatically on to the sample, moves along the sample and gently rises up at the end of the stroke.
To ensure consistent, repeatable and reproducible tests, the Motorized Clemen Unit automatically brings the tool gently in contact with the sample, moves across the coating and then lifts it with the automatic Start/Stop function. Depending on the load applied, (59g graduated slide) varying degrees of penetration of the tool into the coating are observed - from a superficial trace to total destruction.
If the coating is completely removed during the test, the contact of the tool with the metallic substrate is indicated by a lamp and voltmeter indicator.
