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.

Modern load frame design
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.
