Zwick has designed the 'roboTest F' (Clamp) robotic testing system for non-rigid samples such as non-wovens, textiles, foils and films. It is also possible to test plastic and metallic samples wires using the appropriate sample grips.
Key Advantages
The key advantages of the roboTest F system are as follows:
- It is possible to test samples of weight up to 500g
- Integration into materials testing machines ranging from 5 to 250kN is possible
- Comprises a traveling axis and a carousel with up to 200 sample holders
- A range of sample holders, including magnets, clamps, metal clips, are available
- It is possible to perform manual tests based upon requirement by swinging the sample feeder out of the way for access
- The carousel can be equipped with a variety of sample holders based on requirement, thanks to freely positionable servo axes
- The magazine can hold many different specimens, including mild steel, carbon-fiber or thin metal wires, textiles, non-rigid films/foils and metallic specimens
- Optional accessories include HOST connection
- Control is through an industrial controller equipped with autoEdition2 automation software
