Single-column tensile testing machines

Model:

imet-03

The single-column tensile testing machine from imet combines robust construction with maximum precision. It is ideal for versatile material tests such as tensile, compression and bending tests. Thanks to its sturdy frame and powerful drive system, it ensures uniform loading even at high forces.

With a load capacity of up to 3 kN and intuitive software control, it allows you to evaluate your test results quickly and reliably. Perfect for laboratory environments and industrial applications - designed to meet the highest quality standards.

Electronics

The measuring and control electronics regulate the force and path at 1kHz/2.5kHz. A connection to the computer is ensured through the LAN interface. The signal from the force sensor is converted via a 24 bit A/D converter. There are 8 digital inputs and outputs available.

Vernier caliper serial interface

External measuring equipment such as calipers can be connected via a USB port. This avoids errors when transferring the sample dimensions.

Remote controls

3 different remote controls are optionally available. Here we differentiate between the simple remote control with digipoti to move the traverse through to the complex remote control with emergency stop, a 4.3" TFT touch display and the option to control the WPM as a "standalone" system.

Video extensometer

To measure the elongation of material samples, we use the non-contact video extensometer from the German manufacturer LIMESS. This is integrated into our electronics via a serial interface. The non-contact measurement of linear elongation is not only important for steel or plastics, but also where contact with a sample is not possible, such as with foil or paper. The measuring range does not depend on the sample length and is up to 1000% elongation. Image fields from a few millimeters to a few meters are possible – thus also strain-controlled tests.

Tools

There is a very wide range of different tools for testing materials in accordance with standards. Mechanically clamping tools, self-clamping wedge clamps, pneumatic clamping tools up to very large hydraulic clamping tools. Special tools for shearing, rubbing or pulling tests are also available. Ask us! We have the solution.

Software

The imet-TEST software is divided into different methods. You only buy what you need. The software can be expanded quickly and easily at any time via a data connection (TeamViewer). The individual methods are structured in such a way that e.g. B. all parameters are preset in the plastic standard DIN EN ISO 527-1. You check in accordance with standards at all times! Since the machine cannot detect what you are clamping into the tool, you can also check other materials using the same method.
