Setting up the Electric Crocking Tester – GenCrock is straightforward, making it an efficient tool for high-throughput testing environments. The first step is to mount an abrasive pad onto the abrasive head, which generates the necessary friction during testing. This pad is consumable sourced from NextGen and designed to reproduce real-world abrasion effects.

Once the abrasive pad is secured, place the test specimen in the clamping fixture, which holds it firmly in position. Set the desired test cycle count using the machine’s LCD counter, and then activate the machine to begin the test. The GenCrock applies consistent pressure to the specimen as it undergoes dry or wet rubbing, allowing accurate and reproducible results.

After the cycle count is completed, the color transfer on the test cloth can be evaluated to assess dye durability. This easy setup and operation makes GenCrock an effective tool for quality control labs, assuring that each test is conducted precisely and with minimal downtime.
