Servo-hydraulic dynamic Biaxial cruciform testing machines LabTest 6.250H.11

Our Dynamic Servo-hydraulic systems are the driving engine of any laboratory. They can perform a wide variety of low and high cycles of fatigue, crack propagation, fracture toughness and other dynamic tests. Each system can be easily configured using a suitable frame, a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic drive to suit the particular application.

We are currently working on a project of manufacturing a Biaxial cruciform testing machine for mechanical testing of wings, propellers and fuselage parts in the aerospace industry, which we realize for our foreign customer. Machines of a similar type are also used in the automotive, electrical, paper, textile and medical industries.

Biaxial machines are characterized by multi-axis loading of components and sequential parts, which in the area of development serve to determine the deformation properties of materials. They also allow analysis of the behavior of the test substance under the conditions of: gradual loading, long-term cyclic loading, pseudo-rotational loading, stress concentration generation, fatigue testing.

In our Biaxial Testing Machines, we have implemented several innovative features:

• 95% vibration damping efficiency of the pneumatic system, which does not adversely affect any other test areas or workplaces.
• Reduced total energy consumption thanks to our modified Hydraulic Power Units.
• More effective safety precautions thanks to the telescopic protective slide.
• Test frame characterized by extremely high stiffness and self-resonance suppression with long life and mechanical resistance. Especially high axial and lateral stiffness.

If you would like to learn more about our biaxial machines or realize other projects, do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly discuss with you the possibilities of realizing your projects.

Golem´s teeth in action: tearing cans and biting coins

On the day exactly, five years since his dad’s passing, René Richter prepared five attempts to break world records. However, due to the slope of the floor in the hall in Budišov nad Budišovkou, he did just three.

“Today it will be about the bite!”, said the forty-four-year-old strongman from Hlavnice near Opava called Golem at LaborTech company headquarters. He took pride in the fact that in the US, Staley’s Super Humans TV show had seen his teeth grip “stronger than the alligator” some time ago.

The last time he visited at the dentist was in the first year of his training as a cook many years ago, but even so, in 51:13 seconds, he managed to lift five 1-metre-long concrete curbs, each weighing 82 kilograms. And his coach, Jiří Týn, was hammering them. He smashed four = a record!

In connection with our recent launch of our new websites, we have decided that will offer our instrumented pendulum impact testers series CHK.2 up to 450J for a special price equalling the basic machine. When you buy our instrumented pendulums LABTEST CHK 450J-I and LABTEST CHK 450J-IA you will get an above-standard machine for a price of a basic one. And what is the advantage of the instrumentation of our pendulum impact testers against the non-instrumented ones?

 

1. GRAPHIC TEST PROCESSING – IMPACTTest software displaying of the graphical test course curve in dependence of force, time or deformation
2. DETAILED ANALYSIS OF VALUES – beside of standard characteristic of force values (Fgy, Fm, Fiu, Fa also a detailed analysis of the characteristic values of the deflection quantities (Sgy, Sm, Siu, Sa, St) and values of impact work (Wm, Wiu, Wa, Wt)
3. INTEGRAL ENERGY CALCULATION – option of more accurate integral calculation of the integral energy calculation from the area under the curve then it is for the non-instrumented version coming from the angle calculation.

100th Anniversary of the Czechoslovak State…

… is the anniversary of Czech material testing …

On October 28, we all celebrate the long-awaited 100th anniversary of the Independent Czechoslovak State, and we from LABORTECH s.r.o. do not want to miss this event. We would like to recall and highlight not only the feelings of national pride to be Czech from the very beginning of the state, but also the actual development and the context in the field of material engineering and mechanical testing.

During the so-called First Republic and especially around 1924, the process of industrialization in the newly established Czechoslovakia was in the biggest boom in the textile, shoemaking, glass, armament and railway industries. At this time, there have also been developments and discoveries in mechanical testing of materials such as material hardness measurement (L. Smith and George E. Sandland) or the creation of so-called Creep tests – long-term loading of materials, e.g. under different temperature conditions and, of course, strong development of Charpy impact tests.

Thanks to these discoveries, mainly from Western Europe and the United States, and where companies producing test machines specializing in these types of tests were established, then the Czechoslovak companies could start their own development activities in the respective industrial segments and in the 1920s also gave rise to the first research and testing institutes in Czechoslovakia, dealing with, for example, testing of materials and building structures.

During the Second World War, virtually all Czechoslovak industry and mechanical tests connected with it, especially those in tension, pressure, torsion and bending, were modified for the needs of the military industry. A significant development of pendulum impact testers and associated tests were also applied extensively on the heavy military equipment.

After the Second World War, the so-called universal testing machines, which have been modified for testing of plastic materials and modified to electro-mechanical testing machines, have been marked by considerable development.

Since the 1970s and 1980s, the test systems, especially test lines, have passed the automation of the test process, which twenty years later has shifted to fully automated or robotic test units.

So in a very short overview, we have provided you with information about the 100 years of Czech testing, which also gave us the opportunity to set up our company, which is the only Czech developer and manufacturer of test technology and automation.

  In our work, we feel the legacy of our ancestors and at the same time the degree of accountability for their knowledge as we continue to develop and expand new ideas that will serve the next generations, so that they too can be proud of what we have done…
