This machine is encased with a cover enclosing the gears and other parts for operating the slide at a constant speed (3-4 cm per second) and the arm lifting mechanism. The needle arm is counterpoised and rigid to prevent whip or chatter at the ball-point.
The Mechanised Scratch Tester (SH0530) has been updated to offer the weight set required by ISO 1518-1.
