The new standard in textile abrasion testing

Unveiling the first innovation in our new range of testing solutions.

SATRA is proud to introduce the AXIS100 Martindale abrasion tester – the first in our next-generation range of test equipment, and a major step forward for quality assurance across the footwear, apparel, automotive, home textiles and technical fabric sectors. 

Built on over 100 years of SATRA expertise, the AXIS100 delivers exceptional precision, reliability and user-focused performance. Compact and powerful, the AXIS100 features a bold new design paired with an intuitive touchscreen, making operation clear and effortless. Ergonomic mechanisms streamline sample changes, while the lubrication-free drive system minimises maintenance and maximises long-term consistency – ideal for busy laboratories demanding repeatable, high-quality results.

Adaptable and reliable

Engineered for versatility, the AXIS100 supports a wide range of abrasion and pilling methods, including SATRA TM31, EN ISO 12947, EN ISO 12945, BS EN 388, ASTM D4966, ASTM D4970, JIS, and GB/T standards. From performance apparel to technical textiles and protective gloves, it is designed to meet the needs of diverse industries. Optional accessory packs and a full selection of reference materials expand capability further, ensuring full compliance and consistent test preparation.

Despite weighing just 34 kg and measuring 524 x 560 x 325 mm, the AXIS100 is built for the future. Its network-ready architecture prepares labs for IoT connectivity, while the water-resistant construction enables both wet and dry testing – adding flexibility rarely found in machines of this size.

Compliant with CE, UKCA and international directives, the AXIS100 includes ISO 17025:2017 traceable calibration and a 12-month warranty. With lead times from only two weeks, it is ready to elevate your testing workflow without delay.

The AXIS100 is not just new – it is the future of abrasion testing.
