IEC 62196-3 Compliant EV Connector Marking Durability Test Machine | 5±1N Force, Dual-Station Efficiency

This label marking abrasion test apparatus is designed to evaluate the durability of markings on electric vehicle (EV) charging couplers, plugs, and connectors, fully complying with the requirements of IEC 62196-3:2026 Clause 8, IEC 62196-1:2025 Clause 8.7 and Figure 8.

It simulates two standardized abrasion test sequences as specified in the standards:

1. Water Rubbing Test: The marking surface is rubbed with a water-soaked cotton cloth for 15 seconds, at a compression force of 5±1 N and a speed of 1 cycle per second (one cycle = forward + backward movement).
2. Solvent Rubbing Test: Immediately after the water test, the marking is rubbed with a cotton cloth soaked in 95% n-hexane for another 15 seconds, under the same force and speed conditions.

1.Full Compliance with Global Standards

Supports the complete two-stage test sequence: water rubbing followed by n-hexane solvent rubbing, with all parameters aligned to IEC 62196 requirements.

2.Precision Control for Accurate Test Results

• Controlled force application: Delivers a consistent compression force of 5±1 N using calibrated weights, eliminating operator variability.

• Adjustable test parameters: Test stroke (10–60 mm), speed (5–60 cycles/min), and cycle count (0–9999 cycles) are fully customizable to meet diverse testing needs.

• Standardized test head: Equipped with an elastic piston (Shore-A hardness 47±5) wrapped in cotton gauze, replicating the exact rubbing method specified in the standard.

3.High-Efficiency Dual-Station Design

Test two samples simultaneously, doubling your throughput and reducing testing time without compromising accuracy.

4.Flexible and Secure Sample Handling

Adjustable mechanical clamping accommodates various component shapes and sizes, ensuring stable positioning throughout the test cycle.

5.User-Friendly Operation

Simple button control interface with preset cycle functions, enabling quick setup and reliable operation for both water and solvent test phases.
