This machine tests the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of the outer layer, lining, substrate, and similar fabrics of textiles and shoes. Eight test pieces can be tested simultaneously. During the test, the friction hammer repeatedly rubs the test piece in a variable direction to measure its wear characteristics under a specified number of friction cycles. There are two different weights available for testing.
      
      This machine is ideal for determining the abrasion resistance of upper, lining, socking, and similar types of shoe materials, particularly those made of fabric.
