The rubber adhesion testing device is an automated industrial device designed to test the quality of vulcanised rubber stabiliser bushings. It operates in a fully automatic mode, where it evaluates the correctness of the joint based on the set pressure force and the displacement of the rubber bed. The design consists of a stable welded frame on wheels with brakes and the option of mechanical adjustment for different types of stabilisers. Operation is via a Beckhoff touch panel and controls on the switchboard. The device is equipped with large-diameter pneumatic drives and a number of safety features to protect the operator. It is adapted for each project using colour-coded tool sets. Typical applications include testing the adhesion of rubber sleeves according to specific customer projects.
Main parts of the device:
- Welded frame with wheels: Mobile base with stable construction and brakes.
- Linear guide with jaws: Precise positioning of the stabiliser according to type.
- Pneumatic push elements: Application of force for testing rubber displacement.
- Beckhoff touch panel: User interface for setting and controlling test cycles.
- Control panel: Main and safety switch, START/STOP buttons, EKS key reader.
- Sensors and safety features: Equipment status monitoring, emergency switches, light signals.
- Interchangeable tools: Colour-coded fixtures and jaws for individual projects.
- Pneumatic block: Compressed air supply, pressure gauges, quick couplings.
- Tensometric mechanism: Evaluation of rubber deformation during testing.
