Fatigue testing machine

automaticmaterialcamera

The instrument is built according to International Standards about fatigue, which describe test methods for the determination of the resistance of vulcanized rubbers under repeated deformations. This instrument permits to perform: • Flex cracking/crack growth test • Tension fatigue test. According to test specification, the instrument can be easily adjusted by setting • Test frequency (60 to 300 rpm) • Test stroke (0 to 60 mm) • The distance of the grips (up to 100 mm) • The number of cycles before automatic stop can be set (up to 1.000.000) Temperature Range The sample holding system is located in a Environmental chamber which permits to set the temperature between -40°C and 200 °C. The environmental chamber is fitted with inspection window and internal led lighting which permit to inspect the sample without opening the chamber. Image acquisition system The instrument is equipped with 6 BW video cameras with a resolution of 600x450 pixels that allow you to simultaneously acquire the images of all 12 mounted specimens (each video camera acquires the image of 2 specimens). A LED lighting device has been developed which guarantees the correct illumination of the specimens and, in combination with the software setting of the exposure of the cameras, allows to obtain optimal images for specimens of various colors. Image acquisition and lighting are synchronized with the movement of the specimen to always acquire the image in the same position (settable) without interrupting the operation of the instrument
