Calmar Universal component and furniture testing equipment

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 succeed on...

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 test...

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 laboratories...

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 tests....

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, Calmar...

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 is...

Special test rigs Test field for aircraft and car seats For vertical and horizontal tests on aircraft and car seats Hegewald & Peschke provides special custom solutions for very specific testing tasks requiring more than simply the adjustment of individual construction parameters. Some examples here: Universal testing machine for star bases, other furniture parts and materials Universal testing machines of the Inspekt series: suitable for static and cyclical tensile, compression, peel, shearing and bending tests on components and materials. Test rig for cabinet doors and drawers Combined test...

Service Hegewald & Peschke offers comprehensive services to its customers. One of the key services is commissioning of the machine on site with calibration and instruction of the operating personnel. Regular calibration of the test equipment guarantees the reliability of measuring results and serves as basis of measuring and test equipment monitoring in quality assurance measures. Different test tools, such as the seat impactor or the biting tester, are supplied as standard with calibration certificate. The calibration laboratory from Hegewald & Peschke is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC...
