Details that make the difference The design and manufacturing of fixtures and extensometers take place internally at Galdabini. This allows us to have complete control over testing processes, which are in full conformity with ISO / ASTM / JIS / GB Standards, enabling us to entirely guarantee our testing machines. All machining and assembly of testing machine frames, crossheads and major components take place in-house at our Galdabini factory.

Software Performance beyond your expectation Labtest is a modern operating system offering various applications. It has been designed and updated by the Galdabini software team, paying particular attention to customer requirements. The software is divided up into specific industry sectors to simplify making a test and only showing relevant results, typical of that sector. Labtest runs on all the latest gadgets such as smartphones and tablets. The simple software and the user friendly interface allows ease of use for the operator.

With pre-defined test methods, it has the ability to automatically import and export data, statistics and traceable results. Compatible with the latest and future Windows releases, it allows data exchange with management software through standardized file formats and QDAS systems. For full customer support, Galdabini offers on-line assistance through the “team viewer” module, which allows prompt set up training and problem solving of the machine (see page 18). Plastic

Robotised Systems Line Galdabini is a pioneer in automation technology applied to industrial equipment. The software engineering department’s dedicated team develops solutions for robotised testing systems with the integration of Quasar tensile and Impact resilience testing machines. The winning synergy between testing machines, robots and warehouse systems for specimens grants users high productivity and repeatability of results with limited human attendance. Robotised systems are governed by GTA area controller and a dedicated PLC, connected through Ethernet. This set up allows an...
