Is traditional and manual testing equipment still used in industries?

The present marketplace represents major technological and industrial transformations. Such advancements have helped in improving operational speed and efficiency. But despite such, there are certain areas where manual and traditional equipment is being used. 

The most commonly used traditional/manual equipment includes paper testing waxes and wire bar coater. To ensure better results through such equipment, it is important to have a well-controlled and monitored testing environment. 

Wire Bar Coater

A Wire Bar Coater, by UEC, comes with 7 coating rods with different specifications, providing different coating thicknesses. Considering the operations of a wire bar coater, it can be identified that it is comprised of a steel rod with wires around it. Depending on the coating thickness and viscosity of the coating material, the thickness of the wires varies. 

However, it is important for the operator to manually decide upon these factors and to set the machine. The three key elements to be considered manually include the coating thickness, the coating speed, and the viscosity of the material. Such factors can have a major impact on the final results delivered by a wire bar coater. 

Paper Testing Waxes

Paper Testing Waxes on the other hand are simple wax strips and do not include any mechanical components. Due to this they also have simple and easy operability. The operator is simply required to heat the wax strip and stick it to the surface. After getting cooled down, they are pulled off from the surface to check the surface bond strength. 

In the testing process, the waxes with different hardness are tested on the surface. The operator ranks the waxes as per their hardness, and accordingly, the test results are defined. Hence, it can be reflected that the higher the rank of wax that was used, the higher the surface strength.
