2211

Model No. : 2211

Brand : BEVS

The BEVS 2211 is a new-generation, high-efficiency coating adhesion performance testing equipment. It is designed to quickly and reliably determine the adhesion level of a coating on its substrate using the cross-cut method. By automating the entire cutting process, the instrument eliminates common issues associated with manual cross-cutting, such as insufficient or uneven pressure and inconsistent cutting angles, leading to high precision and excellent repeatability in quality control.

  • Determines coating adhesion level
  • High precision and excellent repeatability
  • Eliminates errors from manual cutting

What is the primary benefit of using an Automatic Cross Cutting Tester over a manual cutter?

The primary benefit is eliminating human error and variability. The automatic tester ensures consistent cutting speed, uniform pressure, and accurate grid angles, leading to more reliable and repeatable adhesion test results, especially for high-volume QC.

What is the maximum load pressure that can be applied by the BEVS 2211?

The instrument allows for the load pressure to be digitally adjusted up to (Newtons), which covers the requirements for cutting through a variety of different coating hardnesses and film thicknesses.

Why is the adjustable cutting angle feature important?

The cutting angle is adjustable from to . This feature is essential because it allows the machine to perform standard cross-cut adhesion tests, as well as the angled scratch test ( to ) required for preparing samples before exposure in salt spray corrosion chambers (ISO 17872).

Can I save multiple test settings on this machine?

Yes, one of the key features of the integrated digital control system is the ability to set and save various cross-cut programs (including speed, stroke, and grid spacing) for quick recall, standardizing testing for different product lines or specifications.

What is the largest cross-cut grid pattern that can be created?

The number of cutting lines and the spacing are adjustable. The instrument is capable of setting up to 15 grid lines and adjusting the spacing between to , allowing flexibility to comply with varying standards for different coating thickness.
