Overview
The MonTech FT 3000 C-H Fatigue Tester is a state-of-the-art device designed for fatigue testing and lifecycle simulation of rubber materials. It is equipped with a direct linear drive system and is suitable for both research and industrial applications, particularly in rubber plants for quality control.

Specifications
The FT 3000 complies with international standards such as ISO 132, ISO 6943, ASTM D 430-B, ASTM D 813, ASTM D 4482, and DIN 53 522 -1/2/3. It features a dynamic stroke range from 0 to 60 mm (up to 150 mm at reduced frequency) and a static grip distance of 0 to 160 mm. The maximum force in traction is 600 N at 1 Hz oscillation frequency. The thermal chamber operates between -40°C and +180°C with a precision of +/-1°C.

Key Features

• Capable of tension and bending fatigue tests in a single machine.
• Holds up to 16 samples with stainless steel grips.
• Customizable frequency, grip distance, and dynamic stroke.
• Optional CCD camera for image recording and crack growth measurement.

Advanced Capabilities
The FT 3000 offers arbitrary waveform programming for simulating specific application conditions and allows for complex test sequences combining standard sine-wave tests with variable temperature cycles. It also includes a motorized camera system for automated crack growth measurement.

Control and Interface
The instrument is controlled via a 5.7” color touch screen display, which allows users to input test parameters, monitor test progress, and manage test operations. The MonFT software provides additional capabilities for crack growth analysis and specimen identification.

Additional Options

• Special grips for tailored fatigue tests.
• Piercing tools for sample preparation according to ISO and ASTM standards.
• Curing molds and sample preparation tools.

Technical Details
The device dimensions are 1880 x 1200 x 900 mm, with a weight of approximately 870 kg. It requires a 400 V, 50Hz, 16 Amps, triple-phase electrical supply, with an option for a 480V / 60Hz version.
