The perfect system for films and textiles

The roboTest F (clamp) robotic testing system is designed for non-rigid specimens such as films, textiles, and non-wovens. By using the appropriate specimen grips, metal and plastic specimens and wires can also be tested.

roboTest F robotic testing system for tensile tests on films

Advantages & features

Description

The system can be added to materials testing machines from 5 to 250 kN.
The system consists of a traveling axis and a carousel with up to 200 specimen holders.
Specimens up to 500 g in weight can be tested.
Specimen holders are available as metal clips, clamps, or magnets.
Freely positionable servo axes allow the carousel to be equipped as required with a wide range of specimen holders. In addition to metal specimens, non-rigid films and textiles, thin metal, or carbon-fiber wires, and structural steel can be placed in the magazine.
Manual tests can be performed whenever required—the specimen feeder simply swings out of the way for access.
An industrial controller with autoEdition3 automation software controls the system.
Optional components including a HOST connection complete the system.

Advantages & features

Operator influences (hand temperature/moisture, off-center or angled specimen insertion etc.) are eliminated for high test result reproducibility
Qualified laboratory staff are relieved of routine activities, making them available for more complex tasks
Machine can be used during idle times (lunch breaks and night shifts), which utilizes the full capacity and produces faster results
Testing system reduces the testing costs per specimen and typically pays for itself within one to two years
System allows for reliable documentation and statistical long-term monitoring

Components and accessories

Specimen magazine

The operator fills the specimen magazine directly on the system.

Thickness measuring device

The automatic thickness measuring device is integrated in the test area. Two measuring transducers are used for differential measurement.

The bar code or 2D code is read during the automated sequence

ID reader

The specimen can be optionally identified via a 2D code or a barcode. Alternatively, the specimen data (identification number, width, thickness, etc.) can be entered on a PC.

Status indicator

The stack light informs the operator of the status of the robotic testing system via a three-tiered light.
