Scuff Tester - Scuff Resistance Tester

How Does Scuff Resistance Tester Work?

In the packaging industry, a Scuff Tester is an essential tool to ensure the durability of the material by checking the print quality of the printed labels. Here’s how the SR tester works to ensure the printing quality.

Sample Preparation:

Firstly, a sample is prepared by cutting into the desired shape and size, so that it can ensure consistency while testing the quality.

Test Setup:

Once you have the sample ready with you, then you can place the sample onto the testing platform of the scuff resistance tester. While you are placing the sample, it is very important for you that you should place the sample very carefully to get the relevant output.

Rubbing Action:

Scuff testers, as its name says use a rotating drum monitored with a motorized geared system to measure the print quality. The Scuff tester is equipped with a rotating drum or a reciprocating arm which is used to test the print quality of the sample. The tester then applies the controlled pressure and dubbing rotation on the sample surface. The tester will now hold the sample in its circular arms and firmly rotate them.

Evaluation:

Once the stuff tester is done with a number of specified motions, the sample is then evaluated based on the scuffing, scratches, or other damage. It helps to identify the durability of the print quality under the rubbing motion. This evaluation is very helpful in determining the material's resistance to wear and tear.

Data Analysis:

Once this is all done, the results are then recorded using metrics such as scuff resistance index. This data will help them in checking the durability of the packaging material and ensuring the scope of further improvement.
