MaterialsTesting Machines

The Zwick program includesuniversal industrial testing machines as table- top and floor standing designs with different measurement- and control systems, load frames, drives and versatile function and supplemen- tary units.However in order to be able to offerthe best machine for each require- ment, Zwick has developed a user- related concept. The user can choose among three machine ver- sions, each of them being com- pletely different as to equipment, performance features and also as to the capability of expansion:•BasicLine•Standard Line •Allround LineThe decisive testing machinecomponent is the measurement and control system. Its conception and its scope of performance decide which drive can be controll- ed, which measurement system can be connected to it and which func- tions can be controlled with it - and they thus determine the range of application and the testing machi- ne’s capability for future expansion.The advantages to the user of thethree different testing machine versions are as follows: •The BasicLine is particularlysuitable for functional tests on component parts and for the sim- ple materials test•The Standard line is ideal to solvesimple test jobs reliably. It is a low-cost, sturdy solution which covers many testing needs•The Allround line is the basis for alarge spectrum of demanding test jobs and can easily be expanded with the requirements becoming more demanding. It is thus a solution that can be relied on for future requirements
® , thus profiting from allthe advantages of standardized test programs and from the many years of experience on the development sector. Basic concept Field of application Zwick materials testing machinesare not only used for tensile tests on fibres, tapes, ropes, industrial fabrics etc. or for compression tests on industrial floor coverings or insulating materials, but also for tests on textile fastening systems as e.g. zip-fasteners and similar tests.

Measurement and controlsystem BasicLine

The electronics taken from existingZwick machine types guarantees a very high availability and reliability of the test system. The measure- ment and control electronics is compactly packed in a housing. BasicLine testing machines can be operated in the Stand Alone mode without a PC and they can be oper- ated directly via function keys on the testing machine. As standard it is additionally possible to operate the BasicLine with the test software
