The measurement and controlsystem Single-column load frame for
table-top
testing machines
(zwicki) testControl is availablein 2 variants: Stand Alone Variant These load frames are designed
with very rigid aluminium high-
precision extruded profiles. The
working area is freely accessible
from 3 sides. Thus, it is ideal for
various tests on small parts and for
Zwick
hardness testing machines.
It only requires a small floor space.
Due to its light weight, it is easy to
transport. •Positioning of the working areato an optimum height for the user•Comfortable seated operationwith absolute freedom for leg
movement (making it also suitable
for wheelchair users) Easy and reliable operation via
coloured display, 10-key keyboard
and a few function keys – without
PC. A printer may be connected
directly for the printout of test
results. Load frame forfloor standing models PC-Variant The two supporting and guide
columns of load frames for test
loads up to 150 kN are also
patented aluminium high-precision
extruded profiles. When using
load frames for higher test loads,
2 or 4 hard-chrome plated round
steel columns are used. For testing
machines with a hybrid drive system
the stationary piston rods are at
the same time used as supporting
and guide columns. All load frames
with an electro-mechanical drive
system may optionally be equipped
with a second working area allowing
e.g. a rapid change of the test
mode without having to change
the equipment. The system may be configuredand expanded to cope with the
most different applications. PC

® makeapplications very comfortable and
extremely flexible. The load frames of the BasicLine
are designed with 2 round steel
columns. The load frames of the
Standard and Allround Line are
designed with patented aluminium
high-precision extruded profiles.
They are light, very rigid and serve
simultaneously as lead-screw guide
and protection. T-shaped grooves
on the outer sides allow a simple
fitting of accessories as e.g.
safety devices without being impeded
by the crosshead.
All load frames with two profiles –
except for the BasicLine – can beequipped with legs. Advantages

Load frames
Different load frame versions for test
loads up to 2.000 kN are available as
standard. For special applications,
special versions can be developed
and manufactured, e.g. load frames
in horizontal position suitable for the
testing of long steel ropes. >
