Universal steel strength testing is now
1200kN
To meet the needs for tensile, compression, and bending testing of steel specimens and components, the load range for spindle-driven testing machines has been increased to 1200kN.
The Zwick Z1200E model significantly increases the nominal load range for spindle-driven testing machines from the previous 600kN to 1200kN The machine was designed to meet the needs for tensile, compression, and bending testing of steel specimens and components

With a long traverse path for a relatively low overall height, the testing machine allows trouble-free clamping and convenient testing of specimens of diverse lengths.
It is further distinguished by its extensive force measurement range, which does not require an alteration or measurement range change-over.
The testing machine has a particularly robust and stable load frame with an electromechanical drive over free-from-play mounted ball screws.
The determination of the proof stress requires an accurate extensometer.
The incremental macro extensometer meets the stringent requirements.
The extremely high traverse path resolution and position-repeat accuracy guarantees exact testing results and high repeatability.
As the basis for many national regulations, the standard regulation for tensile tests, ISO 6892, determines the testing methods for the tensile test.
There are still slight discrepancies in the specimen shape, the testing speed, and the method for determining the results.
With a testXpert standard testing program however, the user can depend on always using the correct test parameters regardless of whether testing according to ISO, EN or ASTM. Request a free brochure from Zwick Testing Machines ...
