Experts from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Brno University of Technology (VUT) have produced an optical tribometer combining two different measurement methods for a Japanese company engaged in the development of lubricants. The customer needed a device that could measure friction and wear while collecting data on what happens to the individual components of the lubricant and how the process evolves over time. This was the third such order for the Brno scientists. In the past, hey have made customized devices for a Japanese car company and a German university.
