Breaking Ground in Materials Testing: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Revolutionizes Hole Expansion Tests to ISO 16630
The demands on modern sheet metal materials are constantly increasing. They should be lightweight, stable and reliably formable – without causing edge cracks. Susceptibility to cracking is assessed using the hole expansion test to ISO 16630. ZwickRoell takes this a step further: Integrated AI automatically detects cracks in real time, directly in the sheet metal testing machine (BUP).

The World's First AI-Assisted Tensile Test – Our Vision of Tomorrow's Materials Testing
What does the future of materials testing look like? At ZwickRoell, we looked into the proverbial crystal ball and asked ourselves: What could a tensile test look like if AI was not just "there" but a real companion? The result is not a marketing daydream, but a concept that shows what is already possible today.

Dynamic Materials Testing: Which Drive is Right for My Requirements?
Whether screw, hip joint, or vehicle part – components must withstand dynamic loads over their service life. Dynamic fatigue testing shows how long a material withstands the stresses before it fails. Choosing the right materials testing machine, especially the drive, not only influences the test results, but also operating costs and maintenance.
