Mechanical testing accessories add
functions
Zwick's range of testing accessories has helped by adding increased functionality to existing testing equipment like different interchangeable components such as jaw faces and adapters.
With a doubling of sales in the last five years, Zwick's range of testing accessories helps its customers to stay ahead of competitors by adding increased functionality to existing testing equipment Because this equipment can be used on most brands of testing equipment, users can benefit from Zwick's experience in manufacturing manual, pneumatic or hydraulic specimen grips, analogue, digital, contact or non-contact extensometers, temperature chambers, compression or flexure tooling, and many other special fixtures

Electromechanical 1200kN machine tests steel
In order to meet the growing needs of the steel industry, a range of electromechanical universal testing machines has been extended to 1200kN for tensile, compression, and bend tests.
Universal steel testing machines' capacity doubled
For tensile, compression, and bend tests on steel specimens and components, the maximum capacity of electro-mechanical universal testing machines has been doubled to 1200kN.
The improved measurement capability of modern testing systems means that they can register the smallest of changes in the specimen, and so specimen grips are particularly important because the performance of any testing system is dependant on the ability to correctly grip the test specimen.
The requirements for grips are especially diverse; on the one hand they must be adapted to geometry of the specimen, and the type of test and on the other hand they must operate correctly in the required environmental conditions.
Zwick provides a well designed and comprehensive range with many different interchangeable components such as jaw faces and adapters which can be selected according to the test application.
These include conventional tensile tests; combined tensile and compression tests, shear, peel, bonded joints, wet tensile tests (e.g on paper), and many others which can be handled with flexibility and efficiency as well as operator safety and convenience.
