Abstract
The present invention is a device to provide a lab consistent accelerated wear test on an agriculture or industrial ground working tool. The circular media bin is filled to a proper level with an abrasive media. The sample tool is moved in a circular path though the abrasive media. A library of consistent accelerated wear test data is accumulated with the device. This library is correlated with industrial ground working tool usage in field conditions. This provides a math model that predicts tool wear and facilitates virtual tool design optimization.
