Tender for Leather Tester at The Federal Technical and Vocational Training Institute

Tenderer

Federal Technical and Vocational Education and Training Institute (FTVETI) was established in 2011 by The Council of Ministers Proclamation 245/2011 to produce highly professional and technically efficient TVET teachers and leaders. The driving force for establishing FTVETI , among other things , was that there were no institution to train competent and sufficient technical and vocational teachers and leaders based on the outcome based system and occupational standards.

Soling materials abrasion machine

Introduction

Soling materials abrasion machine designed to test rubber and urethanes to assess their resistance to abrasion in normal every day wear. The main function of abrasive tester is to test the friction of surface by a particular piece of sandpaper, after friction for a certain time, and then assess the condition of material surface, weight, volume and thickness, from this standard to assess the abrasive nature of materials. A 150mm diameter drum is rotated at 40rpm by a precision AC motor with variable speed control. A sheet of specified P60 abrasive paper fixed to the drum by double-sided adhesive tape. A cylindrical sample, of fixed dimensions, is inserted in the sample holder and its protrusion adjusted and set using the integral micrometer. The sample holder either fixed or rotating travels over the surface of the abrasive paper at 0.32m/sec under a loading of either 5 or 10 newton for a set distance. An adjustable rotary cam allows the sample to travel 10, 20, 30 and 40 meters. Machine should have self-tracking suction head which can be connected to a standard vacuum cleaner, removing the need for constant operator attention. A sample cutting knife should be provided and suitable for use with rotary pillar drill. Standards: SATM, ISO, DIN, SATRA.

Structure

The abrasion machine shall basically consist of three a laterally movable test piece holder and a rotatable cylinder to which a specified abrasive paper is fixed. The test piece holder shall consist a cylindrical opening, the diameter of which can be adjusted and has a device for adjusting the length of the test piece protruding from the opening to 2mm.The test piece holder is mounted on a swivel arm, the center axis of the holder has an inclination of 3oc to the perpendicular in the direction of rotation and the center of the test piece to be abraded shall lie within 1mm directly above the longitudinal axis to cylinder. The test piece shall be pressed against the abrasive cloth with a force of 10N and the lateral displacement is approximately 4.2mm per revolution of cylinder so that test piece shall traverse only four times across the same area of the abrasive cloth. The test must automatically stop at the end of the abrasion distance.

Whole sole flexing machine

Whole sole flexing machine is designed to determine the resistance of materials to cut growth during repeated flexing. It is especially applicable to outsoles of footwear including sole constructions. The machine has three workstations presented horizontally for operator ease. Loading, unloading and measurements are also much easier to carry out with the workstations presented in this manner. Samples are set at 140 flexes per minute and the number is recorded on a counter which has the facility to pre-set the number of flexes required. A jig is available and is used to locate the chisel and support the test while the initial chisel cuts are made. All moving parts requiring access are protected by a fully interlocked safety guard, ensuring the machine conforms to the latest safety regulations. A manual device to measure the stiffness of outsole may be required to see if outsole must be flexed in accordance with international standards. Standards: SATM, ISO, DIN, SATRA

Shoe lace abrasion machine (Lace to eyelet method)

Shoe lace abrasion machine is designed to test the abrasion resistance of lace to eyelet (shoe lace to repeated rubbing to eyelet). This method utilises a standard eyelet mounted on a rigid board and the lace to be tested. Laces should be stored in a standard controlled atmosphere for at least 48 hours before testing.

DW9811_Shoelace___Eyelets_Abrasion_Tester-removebg-preview
DW9811_Shoelace___Eyelets_Abrasion_Tester

The equipment has six stations for testing laces. Eyelets affixed to rigid boards are placed in the holders provided. One end of the lace to be tested is clamped in a carrier and the other end is passed through the eyelet and then fixed to a weight capable of applying a tensioning force of 4.46N to the lace. The machine moves each lace a distance of 75mm through the eyelet at 100 cycles per minute. The movement of the carrier causes the lace to rub in the eyelet. Each station has a separate counter and, when a lace breaks, the count is stopped on that station. When all six laces have broken, the machine will stop. This machine should be used to test eyelets against standard shoelaces or alternatively shoelaces against standard eyelets. Standards: SATM, ISO, DIN, SATRA.
