Calmar Universal component and furniture testing equipment

Furniture and component testing equipment - 2

Furniture and components are exposed to a wide variety of stresses in daily use. At the same time, they must meet high demands in regard to safety, quality and durability. To ensure that furniture and components can meet these demands, testing of individual components and also the finished product is important. This applies to the development phase and just as much quality assurance in production. Last but not least, furniture and components must comply with the specification of numerous national and international standards or certifications (e.g. the GS symbol in Germany) to be able to...

Choice of test axes Any desired number and directions. Test fields and test rigs of the Calmar series can be equipped with different test axes to apply the required loads on the test specimen, thus using actuators that carry out the corresponding movements. Not only is the number of possible test axes unusual at this. The axes can be arranged nearly freely in space and are able to carry out different movements in very different directions. It is possible, for example, to pull, push, bend and rotate the test specimen at the same time. Different types of actuators are available for different...

Alternative control concepts. Calmar pro Calmar one Force and Force- position- controlled position- controlled controlled Convenience. Data. Options. Price Depending on the amount of testing tasks to be carried out and the degree of variability required for the test sequences, the Calmar series offers both, single test rigs and universal test fields. Both versions are attuned in detail to different customer groups and their needs. Companies manufacturing furniture often prefer, for example, various single test rigs for product development and quality assurance. Testing...

The component and furniture testing software CalMaster. CalMaster is the universal component and furniture testing software for the Calmar test equipment series. It allows realising both simple and complex testing tasks in an uncomplicated and user-friendly manner. The standards-based test templates stored in the system facilitate parametrisation of the tests with little configuration effort. Because all necessary parameters are preset, the test can start immediately after loading the template. The test sequence can be freely configured using a block program for more complex or special...

Single test rigs For standardised individual tests. Single test rigs from Calmar are specialised for one test application. They are therefore a good choice for furniture manufacturers who would like to test many specimens with identical load directions. Nonetheless, the test rigs can be adapted to different shapes and, in part, also different specimens. The application options and configurations of the test rigs are diverse. Numerous different test set-ups exist especially for testing chairs and are precisely adapted to the requirements of national and international standards. Accordingly,...

Universal test fields One system, many tests. A universal Calmar test field allows testing different products simultaneously. At this, the test field can be set up on different specimens from diverse industries, for example, the automotive industry, furniture and toy manufacturing or leather fabrication. Whether personal bags, suitcase sets, aircushioned aircraft seats, swings for children or bunk beds – a Calmar test field can test all of these. A test field is normally based on a solid reinforced frame with solid subfloor construction from galvanised steel plates with a hole pattern. It...
