Three new highlights in the development of shoe material tester
The position of the shoe material tester in the industrial development is self-evident. In recent years, with the development of electronic information technology and computer technology, the functions of instruments and equipment have become more abundant, and their reliability and lifespan have also been improved to a certain extent. However, today, its development has shown new bright spots. 1. System function integration: Closer integration with computers, electronic devices and strong current control, continuous control and intermittent control will be applied to the equipment together. Second, the emergence of a new fieldbus structure: the self-diagnosis function of the instrument will be expanded, and maintenance will be more convenient, the connection of the system will be more reliable and simple, so the installation cost is also greatly reduced, and the scale of control can be changed. Third, the addition of new smart modules: new sensors such as optical fiber sensors, polymer sensors, and biosensors continue to appear and will develop relatively quickly. Among them, the transmitter adopts high-performance microprocessor and communication technology to realize communication, digitization, and intelligence, thereby improving accuracy and range ratio, with temperature and pressure compensation, and capable of self-diagnosis, remote configuration, and remote control. Adjust the zero position, measuring range and PID control set point, and apply dot-matrix display technology to display the measured variable and set value. Shoe material tester will continue to adopt new sensing technology and microelectronics technology, and develop towards the direction of intelligence, digitization, high accuracy, special environment, resistance to special media, ability to measure extreme parameters, non-contact measurement and long life. With the continuous development of intermittent process control, there will be new developments in the online detection of various mechanical quantities, state quantities, and chemical composition quantities.

Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
