Manual control:

Touch-screen control for piston-speed and -direction in keying and switching mode. Indicators for current and maximum values of force and displacement.

Measuring systems:

• Force sensor: Strain gage based sensor resistent against transversal forces for compression and tensile tests, resolution 16 Bit
• Displacement sensor: Magnetic, incremental for total travel with reference point and limit switch, resolution up to 1 µm
• Control device to convert the sensor signals into a serial data stream with a data rate of 10/s.
• Interface to further software (Test software, MazeCam)
• Touch-screen for manual machine control

Tests:

1. Tensile test
2. Compression test
3. Bend test

Dimensions:

Total (w x d x h): 500mm x 600mm x 1800mm
Process room (h x w): 400mm x 300mm
Weight: 180kg

Devices:

Thread clamps, Wedged clamps for sheet material
Devices for compression-, bending-, hardness-, shear-, cutting-, punch and deep-drawing-tests.

Power creation:

Hydraulic aggregate with speed controlled electric motor, no use of valves
Defined strain speed and defined stress increase speed.
