Tensile testing machine with large test loads from 2,500 kN

E-series electromechanical tensile testing machines are used for the performance of tensile tests.The results are displayed in the form of a force travel diagram or a stress strain curve.From there, material characteristic values such as tensile strength or yield pointsare determined.

Electromechanical tensile testing machines from ZwickRoell are equipped with a ball-screw drive and are available in 330 kN, 400 kN, 600 kN, 1000 kN, 1200 kN, 1600 kN, 2000 kN and 2500 kN versions (33 - 250 tons).

While tensile tests are the most common, compression tests or flexure tests can also be performed.

Satisfying the most demanding safety requirements
testXpert III testing software

Description

  • These materials testing machines feature a wide measurement range, which allows for precise determination of even low test loads, without the need to convert the testing machine.
  • Low-maintenance, play-free pre-stressed ball screws guarantee accurate long-term operation in the tensile and compression directions.
  • The load frame is extremely stiff and robust.
  • Operator involvement in standard tests using testXpert III testing software is reduced to the push of a button.
  • Modular design throughout the system allows the entire ZwickRoell accessory range to be used (including a wide variety of extensometers, specimen grips and other test fixtures).
  • Should new testing requirements arise, additional test fixtures (e.g. calibration blocks) are easily installed via a T-slot or screw system.
  • The materials testing machine can be tailored to customers’ specific requirements (e.g. test area dimensions, test devices, specimen grips, test speed ranges, testing software).

Operator convenience

  • Convenient operating height for specimen insertion with grips installed.
  • testXpert III's intelligent test environment concept reduces set-up times and increases productivity.

Modern load frame design

  • The robust load-frame features four hard-chromed guide-columns and massive base and moving crossheads, ensuring excellent guidance properties and a high level of machine stiffness.
  • Maintenance-free digitally controlled AC drive technology combined with an innovative motor feedback system allows excellent constant speed characteristics to be achieved even at extremely low speeds.
  • The backlash-free pre-stressed precision ball-screws with digitally controlled AC servo drive allow virtually maintenance-free operation.
  • The large test area combined with low overall height enables specimens and components with a wide range of lengths to be tested.
  • The testing machine is positioned directly on the ground with no foundation.

Satisfying the most demanding safety requirements

  • Compliance with the statutory safety requirements of the EC Machinery Directive is ensured in all materials testing machines, while an EC Declaration of Conformity accompanies every machine supplied.
  • Only the latest safety technology and proven industrial components are used.
  • The highest degree of safety for the operator, test results, specimen material, and testing system are guaranteed.
