PLC + touchscreen interface for data management
Test Procedures
Sample Preparation:
Select a representative painted panel or coated sample.
Mount the sample securely on the rotating worktable.
Setup:
Install the ball-ended steel needle in the scratch holder.
Adjust the vertical load to 10 N ±0.5 N (or higher with optional weights).
Set the desired scratch speed, spacing, and number of cycles using the touchscreen.
Testing Procedure:
Perform scratches in a plane perpendicular to the conductor edge at 20 mm/s ±5 mm/s.
Ensure each scratch is spaced at least 5 mm from adjacent scratches and 5 mm from sample edges.
Use the rotating table to perform longitudinal and transverse scratches as required.
Automatic monitoring and data logging are managed via the PLC and touchscreen system.
