Cross-section adhesion analysis kit NIP-CC2800 – Applications:

The Extended Cross-Section Adhesion Analysis Kit NIP-CC2800 is a Precision cross-cut tester to evaluate Coating adhesion using standardized Cross-cut test. It combines digital grid-slice imaging with Automated cross-cut evaluation software, in order to precise, repeatable and reproducible results according to ASTM D3359 and ISO 2409 to deliver.

ASTM Method – Cross-cut adhesion test (ASTM D3359)

The norm ASTM D3359 describes a procedure for evaluating the Adhesion strength of coatings on metallic substrates using a grid cut pattern. The NIP‑CC2800 cross-cut analyzer automates this process through camera-based grid-slice acquisition and digital adhesion assessment.

Overview of the cross-cut test procedure

1. Surface preparation

The coated sample is cleaned and prepared according to ASTM guidelines. Grid-cutting cutting tool the NIP-CC2800 generates a precise Grid cut from parallel incisions.

2. Creating the grid pattern

The device ensures uniform Cutting distances and Cutting depths and produces a [something] depending on the layer thickness 6×6 or 11×11 grid section. The precise mechanics ensure consistency. Grid-cut geometry secure.

3. Assessment of the degree of peeling

Traditionally, the assessment is carried out by visual inspection. NIP-CC2800 replace this with camera-controlled grid-slice image analysis under LED lighting.

4. Digital grid-slice image processing

The software identifies Peeling zones, calculates the Peeling percentage and automatically assigns the appropriate ASTM adhesion class (5A–0A) to.

5. Digital test report generation

The device generates a Cross-cut test report including: – Peeling percentage – Adhesion classification – Cross-section image documentation – Test protocol for traceability

Engineering purpose of the ASTM cross-section test

The ASTM method offers a standardized procedure for the quantitative assessment of Coating adhesion. The NIP‑CC2800 cross-cut analyzer It increases precision, reduces operator influence and supports laboratory and production controls.

ISO method – Cross-cut test according to ISO 2409

The norm ISO 2409 describes a procedure for evaluating the Paint adhesion by Cross-cut test and places particular emphasis on international comparability.

Overview of the ISO cross-cut test procedure

1. Cross-cut

The NIP-CC2800 performs the cross-cut with a calibrated cross-cut cutting head out of.

2. Cleaning & cross-section imaging

The integrated Grid-cut camera unit The pattern is captured under optimized LED lighting. The software optimizes contrast and exposure automatically.

3. Automatic cross-section analysis

The system calculates the Degree of flaking and indicates the corresponding ISO adhesion class (0–5) to. All results are displayed with Image data and Timestamp saved.

4. Repeatability test

Automated image acquisition ensures identical testing conditions and improves the Reproducibility of the cross-cut test.

Engineering purpose of the ISO cross-cut test

The ISO method ensures international comparability. The automation of the NIP-CC2800 Cross-section analyzer meets ISO requirements for precision and documentation.
