Aura Universal Testing Machine operates with computerized numerical control and includes a computer with HDD and touch screen. In this configuration, Aura can be defined as a dynamometer, with a self-supporting, two-pillar structure equipped with ball screws. The electronic setup of this spring tester enables cycles of stress of sinusoidal form resulting in machine preservation and remarkable performance (loads up to 200 Ton, so it’s a heavy weight dynamometer. DC power driven, encoder (or optical ruler).
AURA is an instrument with manual, semiautomatic and automatic operation, for compression, traction, scragging, bending and high load cutting tests. The instrument has electromechanical or hydraulic operation and is modular with several load cells of various capacities (from 1 kg up to 200 TON) installed simultaneously, with reading at 1000 Hz and 200,000 divisions easily selected by software. The cells are protected against overload and with the release of the automatic axis in the event of out of scale values or of unforeseen impact and they have integrated compensation of cell sagging. Our electronics can also control multiple axes and allow stress cycles with a sinusoidal profile.
AURA carries out high-precision tests on springs, wires, steel bars, rods for reinforced concrete, pipes, ropes, hooks, chains, mesh and on various types of materials. Depending on the type of test to be performed, the instrument can be equipped with different accessories such as automatic hydraulic grippers, bending equipment, or grippers for ultimate tensile strength and specific equipment for large springs, such as railway and car springs.
