Universal testing machines series „proTens“

Twin ball screw drive with solid state servo and motor controls for loads up to 250 kN

These universal tensile tester series "proTens" (table standing) incorporate an advanced microprocessor technology. In combination with our user friendly software we provide an extremely efficient, reliable approach to any materials testing need. Well-known for their versatile performance and rugged mechanical design, these machines are designed to accommodate a wide range of applications (e. g. quality and production control, R & D and test labs) to be able to meet the most demanding test requirements. It is designed to perform a variety of test procedures, including compression, tension, shear, peel and flex. The large application range permits testing of metals, plastics, elastomers, foam materials, wood, ropes, cords, wires as well as strength tests (tensile and compression tests) at finished parts.

Software

Our material testing software has been developed in a modular design and consists of a comprehensive basic software. This allows simple but also complex testing tasks to be configured in a standard-compliant or customer-specific manner. A large number of templates or pre-configured test parameter sets are available for standardised and standard-compliant test tasks. In addition and for the individual creation of test cycles, a freely programmable software (block program creation) with the following features is available:

• Free programming of a sequence control for static or dynamic tests
• Individual definition of test parameters including calculation / display of test results (force, displacement, strain or any other measured values such as temperature, weight, etc.)
• All test results can be converted with arithmetic formulas.

The integrated test wizard can be used to configure the test sequence individually, so that the user only has to operate the necessary input windows, receives supporting information and can work through his tasks purposefully. Our software works under Microsoft Windows® and guarantees „Microsoft Office® compatibility", i.e. all results can be exported to other applications such as Access®, Excel®, ASCII-file or other SQL applications. The integrated report generator allows individual report generation including graphical display in single or series mode. The software is available in different languages.
