The Automotive Wire Marking Durability Tester is designed to evaluate the durability and adhesion of printed markings on automotive wires and plastic surfaces. By applying controlled friction with wool felt hammers on fixed wire samples, it assesses the resistance of printed characters or labels to wear, ensuring reliable identification throughout a wire’s service life.
Application
(1) Assess durability of printed markings on automotive wires.
(2) Test adhesion and wear resistance of printed characters on plastic surfaces.
(3) Provide data to verify compliance with ISO marking standards for automotive wiring.
(4) Applicable in automotive OEMs, wire manufacturers, and quality assurance laboratories.
Standards
ISO 19642 – Standard for evaluation of printed marking durability on wires and cables.
