Flexible testing components for food stuffs/packaging testingBasicLine Toolbox: Quick action chuck BasicLine Toolbox: T-Slot plates The T-Slot plates are used for universal mounting of the most varied testing tools. Zwick Roell tools, as well as customer specific units and tools, can be adapted via these plates. For example positioning units, hinge sets, vices and many more can be used. For flexible compression and penetration tests, various penetration needles or compression dies can be simply and precisely held with the quick action chuck. The quick action chuck is adapted to the Zwick connection system which gives the customer the possibility of quickly and simply integrating his own testing tools into the system. BasicLine Toolbox: Screw clamp A multiple application clamp finds use in foodstuffs testing in pull-off, tensile and pull-out tests. The clamp, which is connected to the moving crosshead with a thin cord, can be used e.g. for pull-out tests on fruit stems, or as well for pull-off tests on joghurt beakers. Several universally usable vices make possible the gripping of the most varied specimen and components. According to application, a highly precise parallel vice, an easy to open and close quick action vice, or an universal vice, can be adapted to the machine for use in many universal ways.
