to ASTM E4, ISO7500-1, EN 10002-2, BS1610 and DIN 51221 for LOAD and ASTM E83, ISO 9513, BS 3846 and EN 10002-4 for STRAIN

• This four-column test machine is designed as a single workspace for testing various materials.
• It can perform tension, compression, bending and shearing tests.
• Force measurement is through a load cell.
• With a long travel actuator stroke, it is suitable to test both standard and longer specimens.

Standards

• Load meets or exceeds the following standards: ASTM E4, ISO7500-1, EN 10002-2, BS1610 and DIN 51221.
• Strain measurement meets or exceeds the following standards: ASTM E83, ISO 9513, BS 3846 and EN 10002-4.
• Compatible to the standards ASTM A370, ASTM A615 and EN 10002.

External Digital Controller

• The machine is controlled by an external digital controller (EDC) and a handheld unit.
• The EDC is widely used for test machines with high configuration or requirements.
• the EDC is a built-in unit without keys or a display and has been designed for static and dynamic test instruments.
• It features as stable control, high accurate measuring and high sampling rate (1 kHz~5 kHz) etc.
• Also, it has self-identification & self-calibration functions.
• All the measuring channels for the basic test machine, as well as an output channel to control an actuator, are on- board.
• The EDC has two I2-Bus-Extension-Slots that may be used for equipment such as extensometers.
• The on-board load channel of the EDC has a resolution of ±180,000 steps.

EDC Features

• Load channel with a resolution of ±180,000 steps
• Incremental position channel with a controlled ±10Volt output for power amplifiers.
• Further load cells, LVDTs, strain gauges, extensometers, 2-channel-incremental-extensometers, serial controlled extensometers, safety shields, further I/Os, synchronizing several EDCs in a multi-channel application.
• Digital control; Closed Loop Control
• Connection with RS 232 and Ethernet
• Interface to PC, printer
• Display of outputs (stand-alone)
• Detection of load, position, strain etc.
• Test control (stand-alone)
• Data acquisition (stand-alone)
• Test analysis (stand-alone)
• Data-logging (stand-alone)

Handheld Unit

• The handheld unit is supplied with a 3-metre cable, directly connected to the test machine and can be placed in a convenient position on the machine as it has a magnetic foil back.

It can be used to control and monitor:

• Test Speed Adjustment,
• Grips Position Control,
• Active Crosshead Control (up-down movement speed),
• Load/Deformation,
• Extension,
• Real-Time % Extension (Automatically stops when the piston reaches to maximum displacement point)
• Emergency stop

If a PC is supplied to be used with the machine then a handheld unit is not required and will not be supplied.

Software Features

• 32Bit-Program
• Simple and intuitive operation
• Customised and field-proven applications
• All protocols and printouts freely definable
• “Free Programming Module” for individual tests
• Export into ASCII or EXCEL files
• Almost all applications possible in the testing lab
• Integrated graphics
• Integration of several additional channels possible
• Direct connection of thickness gauges, callipers and other measurement instruments via RS232
• Fast and reasonable testing
• Connection types are Ethernet and RS-232
