The perfect testing systems for tensile or flexure tests
The roboTest L (linear) robotic testing system is used to perform fully automated tensile tests on metals (e.g. to ISO 6892, ASTM E8, JIS Z2201) or tensile and flexure tests on plastics (e.g. to ISO 527-2 , ASTM D790 or ISO 178).
The robotic testing system can also be used for tests on medical products, for example to test safety closures on medicines in a traceable and reliable manner.
Tensile testing (e.g. to DIN 53504 S2 or ISO 37) or tear growth testing (to ISO 34-1) on elastomer specimens can also be automated.
The future measures blue – and so does our roboTest L: with laserXtens
Non-contact measurement of extension and change in width – laserXtens supports the modern laboratory
- The laserXtens is used for optical measurement of a material’s extension and change in width.
- The extension is measured on both sides of the specimen, since for a cold strip, for example, the material can flow unevenly on the two sides.
- To optimize measurements, a blue light is used, by which precise and repeatable results are determined.
Robotic testing system roboTest L with the latest drive axis and Windows 10 – the workhorse for tensile tests on metals.
- Due to its compact setup, the roboTest L takes up relatively little space. High specimen throughput provides fast results.
- The system runs automated tensile tests up to 250 kN on cold strips with thicknesses of 0.5 mm to 10 mm.
- The magazine can hold a maximum of 160 specimens.
Components and accessories
Feed system
The linear feed axis automatically and safely transports specimens up to 1 kg. For manual tests the specimen feeder is moved to the side, giving the operator free access to the machine.
Specimen magazine
The magazine holds 160 to 600 specimens, depending on specimen dimensions. It is filled during specimen preparation or at the system, and then placed on the magazine table. Specimens can be added during the sequence.
Cross-section measurement
The automated cross-section measurement for determining the specimen thickness and width is taken at one or three points on the specimen. Use of a standard allows the cross-section measuring device to be adjusted, ensuring reproducible test results.
ID reader
Use of an optional barcode or 2D code reader eliminates errors in specimen identification. Alternatively, the specimen data (identification number, width, thickness, etc.) can be entered on a PC.
Scale
A precision scale allows for exact determination of the specimen weight.
Status indicator
The stack light informs the operator of the status of the robotic testing system via a three-tiered light.
Typical applications
Plastics
The robotTest L robotic testing system takes a plastic specimen out of the magazine and safely transports it to the testing machine.
Metals
The roboTest L robotic testing system guarantees reliable transport of the metal specimen to the barcode scanner, to the cross-section measuring device and to the testing machine.
Medical products
Containers with childproof closures are automatically fed to the testing machine, and a push & turn test is performed.
Elastomers
Elastomer specimens are placed in a magazine and removed with the specimen gripper. Even adhesive specimens do not present a problem due to their individual storage in the magazine.
Rubber bands
Tensile tests, for example to DIN 53504, ASTM D412 or ISO 37 can be performed on standard bands.
