Application
- Static, Quasistatic, Dynamic (max. 5 Hz) tensile, compression and bending tests depending on accessories
- For force, distance or deformation control – depending on expansion stage – in the closed control circuit of the servo hydraulics
- The suitable options are selected and offered from the broad range for this series depending on the customer ‘s requirements and testing sequences
- CYCLICAL TESTING – The UTM can perform cyclic testing function (1Hz, 3Hz and 5 Hz) and not less than 1mm amplitude varying upon the actuator and aggregate pumps.
PARTS COMPONENTS:
- RIGID 4 COLUMN load frame. All bearing surfaces are mechanically machined
- DOUBLE ACTING TEST CYLINDER in honed execution with Piston twisting protection
- CHROMIUM PLATED Piston Rod protected with gangway bellows
- PROTECTIVE GRID on all sides panel made up of Macrolon with electric safety switch for operator’s protection
- PARALLEL GRIP HEADS with hydraulic and symmetrical clamping on both sides with long stroke for high tensile strain
- CLAMPING JAWS for Round and Flat specimens
- DIGITAL DRIVE STATION for load-, displacement or deformation control in closed loop of servo hydraulics
- HYDRAULIC AGGREGATE for oil supply of servo hydraulic test systems. Electric double-piston hydraulic pump with sound insulating housing
- DIGITAL MEASURING AND CONTROL ELECTRONIC DIGIMAXX digital control system for maximum performance—even with high test frequencies—combined with a high degree of reproducibility and accuracy. PID Controller with DSP-processor for controlling and for digital signal processing
- DIGITAL HANDWHEEL for easy control of movement of test cylinder
- EXTENSOMETER for the exact data acquisition of the specimen elongation. Possible upgrade for VIDEO EXTENSOMETER as option
- PATENTED PROTEUS SOFTWARE MODULE for the test execution of materials test applications of any kind. Designed for tensile tests on round and square rods as well as on reinforced structural steel and pipes. Designed for the execution of static, quasi-static, dynamic, fatigue and cyclic tests for materials testing in connection with DIGIMAXX
