Zwick USA - Product Announcements

To determine the impact strength of plastics to CHARPY as per ISO 179-1 and to IZOD as per ISO 180, we have developed a fully automatic testing system with two pendulum impact testers and a temperature chamber. The system consists of a specimen magazine which can hold 2000 specimens, a temperature chamber with refrigeration unit, an industrial robot to remove the specimen from the temper... (read more)

For semi- or fully automatic tempering, feeding and testing of Charpy/Mini-Charpy-Specimen at positive and negative temperatures. All specimens have to be filled into the tempering unit. The tempering unit will heat up or cool down the specimens to the determined temperature. After all specimens reached the necessary temperature, the first specimen will be brought in the pendulum and will be al... (read more)

The Allround-Line satisfies strictest demands and performs superior test tasks. Add-ons are available and harmonized with the test machines for clear-cut operability.

For optimum harmonization with the requirements of your test, the Allround-Line offers a variety of load frames, e.g. table-top or floor machines, with different maximum forces up to 250 kN, various heights and widths... (read more)

zwickis are high-quality, low-cost and space-saving test machines for test loads up to 2.5 kN.

The zwicki is a simple-to-use, transportable single-column load frame. Its low weight and the compact area allow the modular system to easily find a place on any laboratory table. Yet in spite of its small size and its low weight, it is an extremely powerful and efficient machine: The ex... (read more)

The transporting of petroleum, petroleum products, or other substances in pipelines is one of the most efficient and safest ways of transportation, and since pipeline engineering must meet very high safety standards these are constantly being developed. The continuous growth in pipeline networks means that materials testing is becoming more and more important (read more)

Zwick has developed a new instrumented drop weight impact tester which was launched at the recent testXpo – 16th International Forum for Materials Testing in Germany. It was configured for multi-axial impact tests and compression-after-impact tests on plastics and composite materials (read more)

Zwick introduces a brand new line of plastics testers Consider two scenarios; the lid of a plastic container should still fit correctly after coming out of the dishwasher, plastic piping intended for transporting hot liquids should not warp. (read more)

New Universal Hardness Tester With its latest ZHU-topLine hardness tester Zwick is strengthening its market lead as a supplier of premium universal hardness testing equipment. The first fully functioning prototypes were showcased at this year's International Forum for Materials Testing (16 – 19 October 2006) in Ulm, Germany. These machines have test loads from 1 to 250 kg (9.81 to 2452 N). (read more)

Zwick has released its latest videoXtens video extensometer aimed at materials testing applications where it is impractical or inadvisable to make contact with the specimen. Able to simultaneously measure longitudinal as well as transverse strain the device is particularly suited for the measurement of r and n values to ISO 10113 and ISO 10275 (read more)

Zwick offers an option for its testing software testXpert® which meets the requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, mainly needed in the pharmaceutical and medical engineering industries. (read more)

Zwick introduces the product line ProLine, a wide range of universal testing machines with a broad spectrum of applications geared for all branches of industry. (read more)

Multi-purpose testing axis for tensile and compression applications. For variable integration in test stands, production lines or customized constructions. (read more)

Universal hardness testers cover more than just one hardness measurement method. They are flexible and can be employed for many applications. Thus they offer excellent value for money if you need more than just one test. (read more)
