Modern load frame design
The perfect interaction of the new Allround-Line’s component parts is impressive; the combination of load frame, electronics and accessories ensures reliable test results. All components have been developed in-house at Zwick – drawing on all our experience from over 150 years of materials testing.
Load frame with hollow profile + precision guidance
The table-top testing machines are equipped with a patented, flexurally stiff hollow profile with guide-cylinder. Long guides with generous surface areas ensure high precision crosshead guidance, while T-slots incorporated into the profile provide flexible mounting options.
Mechanical modularity
The flexible plug and slot system allows specimen grips and test fixtures to be changed whenever required, enabling a wide range of tests to be performed with the same testing machine.
Two test areas
Flexible test arrangements eliminate the need for fixture change, maintaining result reproducibility and making the acquisition of a second testing machine unnecessary. Only one load cell is required for the entire testing system.
Xforce load cells
Possessing excellent resistance to overloads, the patented Xforce load cells are exclusively available from Zwick and also offer outstanding accuracy and high resistance to parasitic influences.
High stiffness
Generous connecting surfaces and ruggedly dimensioned components ensure high machine stiffness. The combination of this plus precision crosshead guidance ensures that unacceptable mechanical influences on the specimen are minimized.
Drive and motor technology
The Allround-Line is equipped with an extremely robust transmission system and features maintenance-free, digitally-controlled AC drive technology. The Hiperface® motor feedback system guarantees maximum crosshead travel resolution.
