The biaxial testing machine is an electro-mechanic testing machine to carry out uni- and biaxial tensile tests with normal test specimen or cross specimens according to ISO 16842. The testing machine makes it possible to generate independent loadings at cross-shaped specimens of metal in two axes orthogonal to one another. So, it is possible to simulate biaxial distortion conditions, for example occurring with typical sheet metal forming.
Features
The two orthogonal axes consist of two opposite single drives each.
- Nominal test force static: 100 kN in tensile direction (dynamic up to 10 Hz), 10 kN in compression direction
- Nominal test force dynamic: +10 kN (swelling in tension direction), 0.5 mm Amplitude
- Nominal stroke: 150 mm for each drive (300 mm per axis)
- Test speed: 25 mm/s for each drive (50 mm/s for each axis)
- Special design with compression test
- With precision force transducer and position measurement system as Standard
- Mechanic specimen clamping with replaceable tensioning wedges
- High accuracy of the drive axes (angle fault tolerance 0.5° at maximum)
- 4-channel dynaSax-D3 control System
- Optionally with system and software for optic 3D and 2D measurement of local deformation of the specimens
