Testing of plastics and rubber - Zwick - #19

Text version of the page

19 • The ProLine is particularly suitable for functional tests on component parts as well as for standard materials tests. A broad range of standard accessories provides comprehensive testing capability at an affordable price. • The zwicki-Line consists of topquality space-saving testing machines. These simple-to-use and easy-to-transport single column machines have been designed for test forces up to a maximum of 5 kN. • The Allround-Line is the flagship-range of testing equipment offering the highest level of technical sophistication and future expansion possibilities. Measurement and control system The fundamental component for any testing machine is the measurement and control system. Its design and scope of capabilities determine which drive system it can regulate, which measurement system it is connected to and which functions can be controlled. The testControl controller offers highest technical performance and long range return of investment through the use of the latest technologies and highest quality standards. Notable characteristics of the electronics are: • Chronologically-synchronized test data recording with high resolution and measurement frequency • Sampling of input signal at 320 kHz • 500 Hz real-time processing of the test data for monitoring and event oriented control of the test sequence and for safety limits. (e.g. speed change upon reaching the yield or proof stress limit) • Adaptive control for precise and reproducible speeds and positions testControl and hence the testing machine, is operated by using a PC and the test software testXpert® II. The system is easy to configure and upgrade for almost any diverse application as well as extremely flexible and easy to operate. The optional stand-alone variant offers simple, direct operation of the testing machine without a PC, using a colour display, a key pad and a few, intuitive function keys. A printer can be connected to output the test results. Materials testing: Tensile test according to ISO 527-2 Components testing with ProLine: Determination of the stiffness of window frames
