Friction Sensation Tester

The Friction Tester analyzes hand movements-particularly, strokes-performed by artisans and professionals when judging a fabric’s texture. The device performs this movement mechanically, making it possible to obtain objective numerical data while offering more enhanced versatility over the FB4-A Surface Tester.

Obtainable data includes average frictional coefficient, and fluctuation of average frictional coefficient. From these characteristic values, the KES-SE evaluates and quantifies smoothness, slipperiness, and roughness felt when actually touching the target in order to provide objective data.

特徴

Sensor that imitates fingertips

The sensor unit’s design features a load and surface treatment that mimics a fingertip, allowing for quantification similar to that of the human fingertip.
