Tensile/Compression Testing up to 10kN
Description
This tensile module (compression as option) for the SEM (and a limited selection of “Atomic Force Microscops”) fits on the sample stage just like an oversize specimen. The test objects should be 20 to 60 mm long, not thicker than 5 mm.
The tensile lead screws of the load frame are threaded with right and left pitches at their opposite ends. So the area in the middle from where the specimen elongates in both directions, will stand almost perfectly still.
The PC-controlled microprocessor electronics (DDS-3) with a large software package (MDS) is part of the standard shipment. A great number of test parameters and experiments routines are menue-guided, and easy to use. The program is especially suitable for cyclic tests. Many sub routines, such as compensation of the device’s individual flexure and online recording of the modulus of elasticity are integrated. Furthermore crack recognition, ramping, and many other functions are included. E.g. Video capturing is availble as option and many further features more.
Alternatively a starter system with manual controller is available.
The manual controller has a hand held unit with display for displacement and load, and a keypad with poti for smooth speed setting. Up and down keys with arrows are marked for the loading/relaxing direction. At the rear of the controllers, a USB-Port supports measurements data.
