A discipline of materials testing is the destructive testing method, in which specimens are mechanically tested to failure. The materials test provides hardness, rigidity and strength data in a reproducible and precisely quantified manner.
In conjunction with the accessories, the apparatus offers experiments from destructive materials testing.
The clean layout and simple operation mean the experimental sequence can be observed in all details and phases. The power of the trainer allows tests to be performed on an industrial scale.
The vertical operated with direct force generation can produce both tensile and compressive forces. The height of the lower cross-member can be adjusted for coarse adjustment. Cylindrical receptacles on the cross-members allow for easy exchange of accessories. The extensive accessories provide tensile and compression tests. The test load and elongation of the specimen are measured by sensors and are displayed.
The measured values are transmitted directly to a control system where they can be analyzed using the software included.
