Materials testing machines

We are happy to embark on the most ambitious projects with you, where we analyze all possible circumstances and choose from a number of options so that we can offer you the best possible solution. And sometimes the best solution is two or three test areas in one machine!

Thanks to our many years of experience in the field of mechanical testing, we are able to modify your electromechanical or hydraulic machine so that the test areas meet exactly your requirements and needs, in accordance with all applicable norms and standards

The variant with several test spaces is becoming an increasingly popular modification for our customers, for example for tensile, compressive, torsional or bending tests on metal, concrete, plastic and other materials.

Tahové zkoušky

The variant of two or three test areas within one machine brings with it a number of advantages, for example:

  • The acquisition investment costs are demonstrably reduced … instead of 2 machines, you only need the 1st so-called 2in1 or even 3in1.
  • Cost reduction of operating costs and space dispositions of your test areas.
  • Increase the accuracy of your testing, thanks to appropriately selected load cells, jigs and test definitions.

Dynamické zkoušení materiálu

Dynamic servohydraulic testing machine LabTest 6.250H.5

has recently become part of the testing laboratory of the Ukrainian company INTERPIPE NTRP, a global manufacturer of steel pipes and railway wheels. This testing machine, equipped with accessories such as a temperature chamber or a contact strain gauge, was designed and conceived to provide testing and measurement of fracture toughness in CT metal specimens with a load of up to 250 kN and a maximum test frequency of 50 Hz in a dynamic test mode. The tests are performed according to ASTM E399 and ISO 12737 standards.

Zkouška lomové houževnatosti

ASTM E399 and ISO 12737 describe the determination of fracture toughness of metallic materials by fatigue testing of so-called “pre-cracked” specimens 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or more. The force is applied either in tension or in three-point bending. Fracture toughness characterizes the resistance of a material to fracture in various temperature environments in the presence of a sharp crack under linear-elastic stress and strong tensile stress.

All our axial servohydraulic dynamic testing machines are driven by HAD series hydraulic units with a constant pressure of 210 or 280 bar. These hydraulic power units are fully compliant with the Industry 4.0 system, thanks to the remote connection and constant evaluation of the sensors, which ensures permanent condition monitoring and prediction of possible unit failures. A special anti-noise acoustic cover with an integrated cooling system guarantees noise reduction below 65 dB and cooling of the entire hydraulic unit.

HAD hydraulic units are able to intuitively regulate the pressure and amount of oil in the cylinder, thus reducing the oil consumption and energy consumption of the system.

Electromechanical Dynamic Pulsator Testing Machines EP series 

…Oil-free and noiseless way through dynamic testing…

As part of the implementation of a recent project, one of our Electromechanical Dynamic Pulsator Testing Machines of the EP series became part of the scientific and research laboratory of UNIPETROL RPA, s.r.o. – POLYMER INSTITUTE in Brno.

 This test machine has been designed to provide tensile testing in both static and dynamic modes with loads up to 3 kN and frequencies up to 150Hz using a temperature chamber to change the temperature of the test environment of the test specimen. Thanks to the technology of linear motors, the machine is characterized by almost noiseless and oil-free operation, suitable for testing small metal or plastic samples, composites, or materials for medical and dental purposes such as joint and dental implants, dermatological materials, etc.

Electromechanical Dynamic Pulsator Testing Machines are structurally designed so that they can be easily and quickly extended with other accessories according to the requirements of each customer. The design of the machine itself is then either in a table or stand version.

When handing over all our machines to the customer, it is of course also professional training of staff by our application technicians, who are able to provide you support not only during the training itself, but also long after it, in the form of telephone consultations or online connections and conferences.

Tensile testing is the most common and one of the most important used mechanical tests of metallic materials, which determines the values of strength and deformation for metal applications, which are essential in the design and construction of various components, commodities, various machines and equipment or entire buildings.

Tensile test

In tensile testing of metallic materials, the standard distinguishes between four temperature ranges in which tensile testing is performed: room temperature, elevated temperature, low temperature and liquid helium temperature. The use of different temperature ranges or the use of liquid helium medium in the tensile test causes a change in the methodology of the tensile test itself, as well as the requirements and requirements for test systems, including the prepared samples. Therefore, the International Standard ISO is divided into four different parts, each corresponding to one of the above temperature ranges:

  • ISO 6892-1 test method at room temperature
  • ISO 6892-2 test method at elevated temperatures
  • ISO 6892-3 test method at lower temperatures
  • ISO 6892-4 test method in liquid helium

In addition to the internationally recognized ISO standards, our machines can perform tests on national standards such as: American ASTM standards, European EN standards, Russian GOST standards, etc. For specialized areas of application, ie the aerospace industry, other specific standards may be important or required.

With the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems, Wavin plastic pipe systems & solutions, we have implemented a project for the production of low-capacity Drop weight tester series DP.2, which will be the current testing laboratory of the production plant in the Czech Republic.

The Drop weight testing machine DPFest 250-2 with nominal energy 250J is used to test the impact resistance of plastic pipes according to DIN UNE EN 744, ISO 3127, EN 1411 and ASTM D2444 standards. The machine is equipped with a number of test strikers by additional test weights and special conical fixtures, which allows a wide range and variation of tests according to different types of plastic pipe diameter. A temperature chamber is also incorporated in the machine frame, capable of temperature adapting the test environment and the tested piping according to the required temperatures.

We bring our many years of experience to your ambitious projects …

As part of the complexity of testing this type of plastic pipe, as set by the standards, it was necessary to equip the machine with another external temperature chamber, in order to achieve maximum authenticity by simulating sudden changes in temperature of test specimens (tested pipe).

High and user-friendly operator comfort meeting all safety regulations …

Testování sedadlových systémů

As part of the recent realization of the project, we delivered to our customer, the American company LEAR CORPORATION, three specially modified LabTest 6.250 E.3 series electromechanical testing machines with a load of up to 250 kN to their Polish plant. The machines were modified to simulate horizontal tensile testing of automotive seat locks, using sprockets and roller chains working on the principle of a pulley system, where the vertical tensile force is converted into a horizontal force.

Immediate and accurate deformation recording…

The pulley system is pulled by a crossbar, which is driven by an AC servo motor and controlled by EDCi electronics. The actual course of the tensile test is recorded by a load cell connected to the Test & Motion + software, and at the same time the visualization of the seat lock deformation is provided by 2 cameras.

Maximum use of test potential…

The special test fixture is installed in a positionably adjustable T-grooved plate, allowing testing at different axes of angle, so that the customer can use the maximum potential for their testing needs and perfect simulation of seat load tests.

Watch the video below and see for yourself how these systems work…
