❌ Competitor Machine Pitfalls

Manual friction testing rigs could not maintain constant vertical velocity under varying axial loads. Velocity fluctuations distorted coefficient-of-friction graphs, forcing R&D engineers to scrap entire experimental batches.

❌ Impact: High Scrap Rates & Unplanned Supplier Delays

Probiters Engineering Advantage

Probiters Linear Servo-Actuated Vertical Guidance Station equipped with a high-resolution torque transducer, digital friction graphing software, climate-controlled sample chamber, and automated data logging.

Design intent

Vertical friction-test station for controlled surface/interface testing of hollow-core composite insulators.

A vertical test rig for repeatable friction measurement where a controlled normal load and relative motion are required. The machine architecture separates specimen support, loading and measurement so test parameters can be changed without changing the core control philosophy.

Engineering problem: Friction tests are sensitive to load, speed, alignment, surface condition and travel. A controlled test station reduces operator variation and makes acceptance limits reproducible.
