Model No. :

2205

Model No. : 2205

Brand : BEVS

The BEVS 2205 is an advanced, automated instrument designed to consolidate four critical coating quality assessments—scratch resistance, adhesion, hardness, and linear abrasion—into a single, highly efficient platform. By automating the clamping, motion, load application, and speed control via a digital touch screen, this tester eliminates human variability and ensures fast, accurate, and repeatable results, ideal for R&D and high-volume batch testing environments.

  • Automates four key coating tests
  • Eliminates operator-induced test errors
  • Precise control over load and speed

Integrated Digital Control System

This unit operates via an advanced, integrated control system accessed through its LCD color touch screen. This system manages all automatic functions—including the motorized movement, load application, speed control, and data logging. No external software or application is required for testing, as all operational control is handled internally.

Why is automation important for coating performance testing?

Automation is crucial because it removes operator subjectivity and human error. It ensures that variables like cutting speed, pressure, and stroke length are perfectly consistent across every test, leading to highly accurate, repeatable, and statistically reliable results.

What is the maximum size of a sample panel that can be tested on the BEVS 2205?

The instrument platform can handle panels with a maximum size of and accommodate a sample thickness range of to .

Can this instrument perform both Cross-Cut and Pencil Hardness tests?

Yes, the BEVS 2205 is a true multi-function unit. It is supplied with accessories to perform both the Cross-Cut Adhesion Test (as per ISO 2409) and the Pencil Hardness Test (as per ASTM D3363).

What does the term “Linear Abrasion” test refer to in this context?

The linear abrasion test refers to the instrument’s ability to precisely control a load and movement pattern to gauge a coating’s resistance to wear caused by reciprocating friction over a specific stroke length, providing key durability data.

How is the test pressure adjusted on the BEVS 2205?

The test load (pressure) is adjusted automatically via the digital control system. The user simply selects the required load value (e.g., within the range) on the LCD touch screen, and the instrument sets the cutting head force precisely.
