Universal Testing Machine

Universal Material Testing Machine: Precision Engineering for Comprehensive Material Analysis
The Servo-Controlled Universal Material Testing Machine is a versatile, high-performance instrument designed to evaluate the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials. Built with a double-column desktop gantry structure and a maximum load capacity of 20KN, it accommodates testing needs from low-stress materials (such as textiles and rubber) to high-strength alloys (including metals and aerospace composites). Its adaptability, combined with adherence to global standards, makes it an indispensable tool for research laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and quality control departments across industries—from automotive and aerospace to textiles and plastics.

Execution Standards

This testing machine complies with a comprehensive suite of international standards, ensuring its results are credible, consistent, and globally recognized:

 

  • GB (Chinese National Standards): Aligns with domestic requirements for material testing, critical for local manufacturing compliance.
  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Meets global benchmarks for material performance, facilitating cross-border trade and research collaboration.
  • JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards)ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), and DIN (German Institute for Standardization): Adapts to regional standards, making it suitable for multinational corporations and export-focused industries.

 

Compliance with these standards guarantees that test data—whether for tensile strength, compression resistance, or elongation—can be reliably compared against international benchmarks, supporting regulatory submissions, product certifications, and material qualification.

Product Overview

At its core, the machine is engineered to deliver precise mechanical property analysis through a combination of advanced hardware and intuitive software. It offers customizable load options ranging from 20N to 20KN (with higher capacities available upon request), ensuring flexibility for testing everything from delicate fabrics to robust metal components. Equipped with interchangeable fixtures, tooling accessories, and integrated strain measurement systems, it seamlessly adapts to diverse testing scenarios: tensile, compression, bending, shearing, and peeling, among others.

 

The machine’s software suite enhances its functionality, enabling real-time data visualization, automated test sequences, and comprehensive report generation. This integration of hardware and software streamlines workflows, reduces human error, and ensures that even complex tests—such as cyclic fatigue or creep analysis—are executed with consistent accuracy.

Key Features

Advanced Manufacturing Technology

  • CNC Precision Processing: All critical components are manufactured using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, ensuring tight tolerances and uniform performance. The streamlined profile not only enhances aesthetics but also minimizes vibration during high-load testing.
  • Durable Surface Treatment: Metal surfaces undergo a multi-step finishing process: nickel plating for corrosion resistance, phosphating for enhanced paint adhesion, and a DuPont powder coating cured at 200℃. This treatment ensures the machine withstands harsh industrial environments, resists fading, and maintains a premium, professional appearance over years of use.

High-Precision Measurement

  • 0.5-Level Force Sensor: Equipped with a high-precision, explosion-proof force sensor, the machine delivers bidirectional (tension/compression) measurement with an accuracy of ±0.5%. This level of precision is critical for distinguishing subtle differences in material performance—for example, comparing the tensile strength of two plastic formulations or evaluating the fatigue resistance of metal alloys.
  • Ultra-High Resolution: With a force resolution of 1/1,000,000 and automatic full-range magnification switching, the machine captures even the smallest force fluctuations. This capability is especially valuable for testing delicate materials, such as thin films or textiles, where minor variations in load can significantly impact results.

Premium Servo Power System

  • AC Servo Motor & Drive: The machine features an AC servo motor paired with an original matched drive, enabling three closed-loop control modes: constant speed, constant stress, and constant strain. This technology ensures stable load application and precise control over test parameters, even when materials exhibit non-linear behavior (e.g., plastic deformation in metals).
  • Synchronous Belt Transmission: A high-quality synchronous belt drive system enables test speeds ranging from 0.001 to 1000 mm/min, with stepless adjustment for fine-tuning. The belt design minimizes noise and vibration, ensuring smooth operation during both slow, high-precision tests (e.g., creep analysis) and rapid tensile tests (e.g., measuring impact-induced elongation).

Optimized Gantry Transmission

  • Double-Column Gantry Structure: The rigid gantry design, reinforced with backlash-free, wear-resistant ball screws, eliminates deflection and resonance—common issues that can distort high-load test results. This stability is critical when testing high-strength materials, where even minor structural flexing can lead to inaccurate load measurements.
  • Pre-Stressed Guide Rods: Flanking the ball screws, pre-stressed guide rods ensure the crossbar moves with exceptional flatness, distributing load uniformly across specimens. This prevents uneven stress application, which could cause premature failure or skewed data, particularly in brittle materials like ceramics or certain plastics.

Standardized Modular Design

  • Tool-Free Fixture Replacement: All fixtures use unified standard connectors, allowing operators to switch between tensile grips, compression plates, or bending jigs in minutes—no specialized tools required. This modularity reduces downtime between tests, making the machine ideal for high-throughput environments such as production-line quality control.

Intelligent Digital Control

  • Integrated Software System: A specialized tensile testing software suite enables real-time computer communication, allowing users to program custom test sequences, monitor live data (load, displacement, strain), and analyze results instantly. The software supports automated calculations of key metrics: yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of elasticity, among others.
  • User-Friendly Interface: The system’s HMI (Human-Machine Interface) simplifies operation, with intuitive controls for setting parameters, starting tests, and accessing historical data. Even complex tests—such as cyclic loading for fatigue analysis—can be programmed with minimal training, enhancing efficiency in busy laboratories.

Technical Parameters

Safety Protection

The machine incorporates multiple safety features to protect operators, specimens, and equipment:

 

  • Mechanical Travel Limits: Upper and lower bound switches prevent crossbar overtravel, avoiding collisions with fixtures or damage to specimens.
  • Emergency Stop: A prominent emergency stop button halts all operations instantly, ensuring rapid response to anomalies.
  • Electrical Safeguards: Protection against over-current, over-voltage, under-current, under-voltage, and leakage prevents electrical damage and reduces fire risks.
  • Software-Enabled Protection: Built-in overload limits and breakpoint shutdown functions automatically pause tests if parameters exceed safe thresholds, preserving data integrity and preventing equipment strain.

Application Fields

The Servo-Controlled Universal Material Testing Machine is versatile enough to serve diverse industries:

 

  • Metals & Alloys: Evaluating tensile strength, yield point, and elongation of steel, aluminum, and titanium components for automotive and aerospace applications.
  • Plastics & Polymers: Testing flexural modulus, impact resistance, and creep behavior of plastic parts used in consumer goods and medical devices.
  • Textiles & Leather: Measuring tear strength, seam slippage, and elasticity of fabrics for apparel, upholstery, and industrial textiles.
  • Rubber & Composites: Analyzing compression set, tensile fatigue, and adhesion strength of rubber gaskets, composite panels, and adhesive bonds.
  • Aerospace & Defense: Qualifying high-performance materials for aircraft structures, ensuring they meet stringent strength and durability requirements.
