Cup­ping Tester

The BYK-Gard­ner cup­ping tester has been designed for deter­min­ing the elon­ga­tion and deforma­bil­ity of sin­gle- and mul­ti­ple-layer sys­tems on metal sub­s­trates.

• Elec­tro­hy­draulic drive for highly repro­du­ci­ble results
• Easy to use eccen­tric clamp­ing ring
• C-open­ing accepts large and small test pan­els
• For test pan­els with a thick­ness of up to 1.5 mm (0.06 in)
• Uni­form cup­ping speed of 0.2 mm/s (0.008 in/s)
• 3 keys to con­trol all func­tions
• Dig­i­tal dis­play, res­o­lu­tion 0.1 mm

Stereo Micro­s­cope for cup­ping tester

This stereo micro­s­cope with illu­mi­na­tion and bright­ness con­trol is designed to observe the paint sur­face dur­ing the test.

• 2x and 4x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion
• 3D-image with sha­d­ow­less illu­mi­na­tion
• Ergo­nomic work­ing posi­tion

Pro­ce­dure
– Insert the test panel into the C-open­ing of the instru­ment
– Clamp in the sam­ple firmly
– Start cup­ping and simul­ta­ne­ously observe the pro­cess through the stereo-micro­s­cope
– Appara­tus presses the cap of the spher­i­cal punch into the test panel at a uni­form speed (0.2 mm/s)
– As soon as the first crack­ing is vis­i­ble, stop the move­ment of the punch
– Read the cup­ping depth on the dig­i­tal dis­play and reset the punch
– Always carry out 3 tests for each sam­ple
