Sandpaper and Soft Eraser Rub Durability Fixture

Q-Card's Sandpaper and Soft Eraser Rub Durability fixture is designed to determine the resistance of various card printing methods to abrasion caused by rough surfaces. The fixture holds a standard ID-1 size card in a cavity and uses a calibrated weight affixed with abrasive materials (sandpaper and soft eraser) to perform the tests. The calibrated weight affixed with the abrasives is held in a transport. The weight is then moved across the card surface by pushing and pulling the weight transport back and forth across the card surface.

The fixture is manufactured of a durable aircraft grade aluminum with a hard-anodized coating for durability. It has splayed feet and aggressive non-slip rubber feet for stability. The calibrated weight is made of stainless steel to provide years of rigorous testing and trouble-free service.

The fixture has two locking thumb screws: one is to position the abrasives over the card area to be tested; the second holds the calibrated weight up and out of the way when placing the new cards in the cavity to be tested.
