Universal Testing Machine 50 KN

Universal Testing Machine 50 KN

Universal Testing Machine 50 KN is an industrial design electro-mechanical testing machine with a capacity of 50 kN in traction and compression, adapted for the particular needs of engineering colleges, research and quality control. Tests may be carried out as a function of speed, stress or strain.

The analogue/digital interface and the software provided with the EM550 form a complete package allowing control, data acquisition and analysis using a PC. The advanced, user-friendly software is presented in toolbox form that demands no particular programming knowledge.
Data analysis and presentation can be effected off-line. Data from current and previous runs may be transferred as ASCII files for use with spreadsheet and other software.

Teaching objectives

The universal test machine allows a wide range of tests, including :

• Tension, compression and bending.
• Standard specimen testing.
• Cycling up to 1 Hz.
• Creep testing.
• Fretting and fatigue.
• Assembly and structure tests

Technical specifications

• Machine control through PC compatible microcomputer.
• Dedicated interface card with simultaneous 4-channel capability (force, cross-head displacement, extension and additional analogue input).
• Interface mounted in PC.
• 12-bit data acquisition and control.
• 0-50 kN tensile/compression load range.
• 1,000 mm height under cross-head.
