Cookware Scratch Resistance Tester

The Cookware Scratch Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the scratch and wear resistance of non-stick cookware surfaces. It simulates repetitive handling and mechanical stress by applying controlled loads through a stylus or test pin, performing continuous cycles of movement on the cookware surface. The system ensures that handles and connection components withstand up to 15.000 cycles without deformation or loosening, providing a reliable assessment of durability and coating integrity.
