Manual paint testing machine (Erichsen cupping) – Model 200 – ERICHSEN

The Erichsen Cupping Test is a method used to test the ductility of coatings on sheet metal. The Model 200 machine performs this test by measuring the depth at which a coating cracks or fails, which provides insights into the material's elongation and adhesive properties on sheet metals.

The Model 200 complies with international standards including DIN ISO 1520, ISO 1520, BS 3900: Part E4, NF T 30-019, and SIS 18 41 77. This wide range of standards makes the Model 200 suitable for global applications in testing the quality of lacquers, paints, plastic coatings, and enamels.

Yes, the Model 200 can test materials with a tensile strength of 400 N/mm² and thickness up to 1.25 mm. It can accommodate specimens from 70 - 90 mm wide, and by using an adapter, it can also test widths of approximately 30 - 60 mm.

No, the Model 200 is designed for simple, manual operation. Its manual drive and drawing speed allow for precise control over the testing process. Moreover, the machine features a digital counter for accurate depth measurement, ensuring precise and reliable results.

The depth at the point of coating failure is directly measurable on the Model 200 using a digital counter, which offers read-off accuracy to 0.1 mm. For even more detailed analysis, there is the option to use a special microscope for depth measurement.

The Model 200 measures 340 mm in width, 450 mm in height, and 350 mm in depth. It has an approximate net weight of 36.0 kg, making it a robust yet bench-mountable tool for quality control and testing environments.

The Model 200 is designed as a stationary machine. Its durable cast iron body ensures stability and longevity, providing reliable and consistent testing results.
