Model 208 vibration testing machine in standard configuration (left) and model 210, with clamping length up to 2 m (right). The model 208 test stand consists of a motor drive that produces a dynamic load at a right angle to the axis of the screw. The screw to be examined is mounted in a slide that is horizontally guided on a bottom section of the machine, which in turn is securely connected to the framework. The machine as a hole is fixed to a workbench. A safety device complete with sliding doors is standard. Pre-selectable parameters include inspection frequency (that can vary during the test) and working stroke of the carriage. The quantities that are determined and displayed by the model 208 include: • Release angle. • Clamping force. • Traverse force amplitude. • Traverse displacement amplitude. overall length of the model 210 machine table. Additionally, the clamping fixtures can be adapted to the samples, which likewise effect the length and height of the machine. Additional Testing Equipment TesT ltd. also offers other testing machines and ancillary equipment designed for use in the fastener industry. Additional fastener testing equipment includes force transducers, robotic material testing machines and torque transducers. TesT Ltd. also offers universal testing machines and a variety of small testing machines. Torsion Test Machines The model 210 torsion testing machine was developed for the determination of torque and angle of rotation or torsion. The application range for this machine extends from the simplest construction unit examination up to the most complex classical material testing. The machine of this model consists of the following three components: • Torque transducer. • Machine frame with regulated drive and angle measurement. • Electronics for motor control and recording of measurements. Depending on the measuring range required, there is a version offered as a desk model and one with workbenches. The models 411 and 415 transducers are used for determining static torque, and the models 421 and 422 transducers are employed for determining dynamic torque. Depending on the application and measuring range, the sensors are furthermore equipped with cone bearings for protection against the effects of lateral loads. For motor control and evaluation, the electronics model 810 or the PC card record model 822 with the software TestWinner® 922 is offered. With the TestWinner 922 software, data is analyzed online in accordance with applicable standards. Different measuring ranges are also available on request for the model 210 torsion testing machine. The minimum and maximum length of the parts to be tested affects the length of the rails for the displaceable carriage as well as for the Robotic material testing system. These and all fastener testing machines offered by TesT Ltd. are designed with an eye to the future. The company strives to provide the fastener industry with testing machines and equipment that are always a step ahead of the crowd. FTI Company Profile: TesT GmbH has a worldwide reputation as a reliable supplier of material and construction testing equipment as well as force measurement equipment.
