OPTIONAL ACCESSORY INSTRUMENTS
Sample Cutter 5000
The Model 5000
Sample Cutter
is available to prepare a wide range of
flexible materials for testing on the Taber Rotary Platform Abraser.
Examples include: paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, vinyl, carpet, textiles,
metal foils, and flexible plastics.
This bench top instrument is designed to cut an exact 108 mm
(4.2 inch)
diameter specimen and punch a 6.35 mm
(0.25 inch)
center hole. A ‘dove-
tail’ rear support prevents tipping during operation, thereby eliminating the
need to secure the instrument to a work surface. A shielded punch shaft
and knife retraction system protects the operator from the cutting tools.
The punch lever is ergonomically designed to evenly transfer force through
the spring-loaded punch.
Wheel Refacer 250
The Model 250
Wheel Refacer
has been specially designed to
precision dress the working surfaces of Genuine Taber Calibrade
abrading wheels for the Taber Abraser. This compact instrument can
also be used to true out of round wheels and to correct ‘crowning’
conditions on both Calibrase and Calibrade wheels.
A refacing diamond tool is mounted in an adjustable holder, which is
supported on a shielded traverse slide. Abrading wheels are mounted
on a flanged extension of the motor shaft and are enclosed by a
hinged cover for safety during the refacing operation. By moving the
diamond point tool across the wheel faces, the wheel surfaces can be
refreshed! During operation, the vacuum unit hose is disconnected
from the Abraser and inserted in the Wheel Refacer to draw off the
abrasive cuttings. Note: To ensure identical diameters, wheels are
always refaced in pairs.
Quiet Cabinet
The
Quiet Cabinet
can significantly reduce the sound levels associated
with running a Taber test. Additionally, it provides a convenient, dust-free
workspace for the instrument. The typical sound level of the Taber
Abraser and its vacuum system can reach 78dB. Utilizing sound
deadening materials, the Quiet Cabinet reduces this noise level up to
20% resulting in a level that is comparable to a standard office
environment.
The upper cabinet features a hinged Plexiglas™ viewing window to
monitor testing while a detachable front permits easy transfer of the
Abraser into or out of the cabinet. The lower cabinet holds the vacuum
unit and includes a built-in exhaust system (either 120V, 60Hz or 230V,
50Hz) to provide proper air circulation. Constructed of solid wood, the
cabinet includes a high-pressure laminate outer shell for added durability.
The Quiet Cabinet is available as a complete unit, or the top and bottom
may be purchased separately.
