The so-called universal machines are essential elements in quality control processes.
As we mentioned in a previous post about the Tensile tests, these are the tests aimed at obtaining the stress-strain curve.
With this curve we would have access to the measurements of the elastic deformations, its creep or yielding, its plastic deformations and its striction, which would give us access to data such as the limits of proportionality or elasticity. Only in this way, we will be able to ensure that the chosen material will fail or not when performing the functions that would be entrusted to it.
In order to carry out this type of tests, we must have the necessary equipment, among which the following stand out for their indispensability Traction machines. These tools consist of two parts:
1- The load-generating device, which can be mechanical or pneumatic and features a fixed head and a movable one. In this machine, the specimen is mounted and held by the two heads, which function as a hydraulic press. The lower one is fixed, while the upper head moves upwards, causing deformation as the force increases. This process ends when the specimen breaks, usually in less than a minute.
2- The other part would be the load and displacement measuring device, which is electronic, regulates the application of the load, and generates the diagrams that reflect the behavior of the specimen.
On the other hand, there is a requirement that these processes must always meet: the application of the tensile force must occur in the direction of the specimen's axis. At ServosisWe offer the best machinery to perform this type of tests and we also have six models adapted to cover different needs. These are el ME 402, el ME 405, el MUE 403, el MUE 404, el MUF 401 and MUF 404. For more information, consult our catalog and if you have any doubt or suggestion you can contact us through the contact form.
