Description

Universal Testing Machine is designed for testing materials and other materials under tension, compression bending, transverse and shear loads. Operation of the machines is by hydraulic transmission of load from the test specimen to a separately housed load indicator. The hydraulic system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage due to shock on rupture of test pieces. Load is applied by a hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder pressure is transmitted to the cylinder of the pendulum dynamometer system housed in the control panel. The cylinder of the dynamometer is also of self-lubricating design. The load transmitted to the cylinder of the dynamometer is transferred through a lever system to a pendulum. Displacement of the pendulum actuates the rack and pinion mechanism which operates the load indicator pointer and the autographic recorder. The deflection of the pendulum represent the absolute load applied on the test specimen. Return movement of the pendulum is effectively damped to absorb energy in the event of sudden breakage of a specimen.

When it comes to testing metallic and non-metallic materials for tension, compression, bending and shearing strength, Visionary Products offers a complete range of solutions - mechanical, digital, computer-controlled, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic and universal - to suit every need. Based on the physical and technological properties of the material under test, these machines can be equipped with load rate or servo-controlled mechanisms. These user-friendly machines are equipped with computer software and printers, enabling them to display, record, control, process and print test results, and draw test curves automatically in real-time. All the machines comply with IS, BS ASTM, DIN and ISO standards and are sought-after by steel factories, universities and material research institutes.

The electro-mechanical universal testing machines are designed and manufactured to meet ASTM, ISO and DIN standards. These computer-controlled precision testing machines can be used to test a wide range of materials for tension, compression, bending, shearing and cycle testing. They offer high stability as well as high precision and are equipped with a PC system and printer for graph and test result display, printing and data processing. These features make them ideal for metal, spring, textile, rubber, plastic and other material testing, which is why these machines are widely used in many organisations in their R&D, QC and QA divisions.

The furnace and climatic chambers of the universal testing machines are specially designed to suit the test temperature, so that they can be equipped with corresponding load frames for various kinds of metallic materials. Each unit consists of a furnace/chamber body, a controller, high temperature grips, a pull rod and a bracket. The temperature inside can be controlled automatically, and with high accuracy by a PID controller. Data communication is viable with the help of a computer.
