3 The Zwick Roell AG – More than a century of experience in materials testing Mechanical-technological testing is one of the oldest disciplines of materials testing. As early as in the 15th and 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei were already considering the flexural stressing and the elastic behaviour of materials. In the course of time further knowledge was obtained. In the middle of the 18th century the first testing machines finally appeared in France. Since 1920 the company Roell & Korthaus has been involved in the materials testing business. In 1937 Zwick built it...

4 Cloth test, stone relief from Hirzweiler, 2nd/3rd century AD, Trier, Rheinisches Landesmuseum (museum at Trier, Germany) Textile materials application range and characteristic features Textiles have been accompanying man since thousands of years. Already in 5000 B.C. cloths were woven in Egypt. For this purpose the people used natural raw materials such as cotton, flax fibres, animal hair and silk threads. The people used them as garments and as protection from the cold. As textiles for the home, they made living and work rooms look nicer. Modern textiles, however, are hightech products...

5 Materials testing machine for the testing of textile materials As different as the fields of application are also the demands on the long-term behavior of textiles. If they are for example used for permanent wear they must be unrottable and without nutritional value for insects, rodents etc. If it is however only a question of a temporarily limited soil stabilization for cultivation, they should have a longer rotting time as soon as the roots of the plants have taken over the stabilization job. According to the application in question, textiles must have specific properties. Part of this...

11 Zwick ProLine testing machine Zwick ProLine table-top testing machine Materials Testing Machines Field of application Zwick materials testing machines are not only used for tensile tests on fibres, tapes, ropes, fabrics etc. or for compression tests on floor coverings or insulating materials, but also for tests on textile fastening systems as e.g. zip-fasteners and similar tests. Basic concept The Zwick program includes universal testing machines as table-top and floor standing designs with different measurement- and control systems, load frames, drives and versatile function and...

12 Zwick zwicki-Line testing machine Zwick Allround-Line table-top machine Zwick Alround-Line testing machine Load frames Different load frame versions for test loads up to 2000 kN are available as standard. For special applications special versions can be developed and manufactured, e.g. load frames in horizontal position suitable for the testing of long ropes. Table-top testing machines, zwicki-Line These single column load frames are designed with very-rigid aluminium high-precision extruded profiles. The working area is freely accessible from 3 sides. It only requires limited space and...
