Technical Description
The Sheet Metal Testing Machine, Model 100, is a manually operated device designed for testing the drawing qualities of ferrous and non-ferrous metals using the ERICHSEN Cupping Test. It provides a maximum drawing force of 30 kN and a blankholder force of 10 kN, suitable for sheet and strip materials from 0.1 to 1.5 mm thick and foil materials down to 0.005 mm.

Application
This machine is intended for use in factories with limited sheet metal forming activities, particularly for thinner materials. It adheres to various international standards, including ISO 8490, EN ISO 20482, and ASTM 643-84, among others.

Purpose
The machine helps determine the lowest cost material suitable for producing specific drawn work-pieces, making it valuable for purchasing departments. It requires minimal effort to operate and does not need special skills.

Description
The machine is bench-mounted with a cast iron body and cylindrical test head. The cupping test involves clamping the specimen with a 10 kN force and manually turning the test head to commence the process. Results are displayed digitally, and a microscope with illumination is recommended for better observation.
