The Laboratory Automotive Wash and Friction Testing Bench is designed to evaluate the scratch resistance of automotive coating systems through controlled laboratory washing and friction tests. It simulates real-world car wash conditions in a repeatable and standardized laboratory environment, providing accurate assessment of coating durability under mechanical and frictional stress.

Application

Primary applications:

Assessing scratch resistance of automotive paint and clear coat systems

Evaluating coating performance under mechanical friction and water exposure

Laboratory testing for automotive coatings, material development, and quality control

Typical tested products:

Automotive exterior panels (metal and composite substrates)

Automotive clear coats and multi-layer paint systems

Laboratory-coated metal panels for R&D

Material samples requiring controlled wash and friction testing

Test Procedures

Installation of Wash Rotor

Attach the automotive wash brush rotor to the rotation shaft of the test bench using specialized bolts.

Gap Adjustment

Adjust the vertical gap between the rotor edge and test platform to 100 mm using adjustment tools.

Preparation of Test Solution

Add the cleaning agent to the circulating water tank and ensure thorough mixing using the built-in agitator.

Sample Placement

Place test parts or sample panels on the work platform.

Trial Run

Perform a preliminary run to ensure correct operation, brush contact, and spray distribution.

Formal Testing

Run the programmed wash cycle, applying controlled brush and water motion to evaluate coating scratch resistance.

Maintenance Information

Clean brushes and work platform after each test.

Inspect spray nozzles for clogging and clean or replace as needed.

Regularly check water tank level and agitator function.

Ensure platform drive system and safety switches are operational.

Keep test chamber dry and free from residue after tests to maintain accuracy.
