FAQ's of 4 Pillar Universal Testing Machine:

Q: How does the 4 Pillar Universal Testing Machine ensure measurement accuracy during tests?

A: The machine utilizes a high-precision encoder-based displacement measurement system and a high-precision load cell. Coupled with its robust 4-pillar frame and rigid lead screw design, it achieves test results within 1% accuracy, providing reliable and consistent data across various test applications.

Q: What applications are possible with this Universal Testing Machine?

A: This machine supports a broad range of material tests, including tensile, compression, bending, and shear testing. Its interchangeable grips and adjustable speed settings allow users to test materials of different shapes and mechanical properties, making it suitable for metals, polymers, composites, and more.

Q: When should the interchangeable grips be used?

A: Interchangeable grips should be chosen based on the shape and type of your test samples. Using the correct grip not only ensures sample security during tests but also enhances measurement precision by preventing slippage or misalignment. Refer to the accessory guide to select appropriate grips for your samples.

Q: Where is this Universal Testing Machine typically installed?

A: Due to its size and weight (approx. 1500 kg), the machine is best installed in quality control labs, research facilities, or industrial environments with stable concrete flooring. Ensure adequate space (approx. 2100 x 800 x 2400 mm or as per model) for installation and operation, with access to a three-phase, 415V power source.

Q: What is the process for conducting a standard tensile test on this machine?

A: First, secure the appropriate grips for your specimen. Set the required test parameters using the digital display or computer software. Place your sample between the grips, initiate the test via the control system, and monitor the test progress. Data is collected in real time, and comprehensive results are generated automatically by the software.

Q: How does the safety feature benefit the operator?

A: Built-in overload and over-travel protection systems detect and halt abnormal conditions, preventing equipment damage and ensuring operator safety. The auto-stop facility further reduces the risk of sample or machine failure, making for a secure and dependable testing environment.
