ASAME Technology was formed in 2005 to sell and support two well-know strain measurement systems.
- Automated Strain Analysis and Measurement Environments (ASAME)
- Grid Patter Analyzer (GPA)
ASAME Target Model
Measures the surface geometry and strain distribution over an area of a stamped part that has been gridded with a pattern of squares. A compact system requiring only lightweight and readily portable equipment to make surface strain and geometry measurements.
ASAME 2D Model
Measures in-plane strain distribution, in real-time, over a deforming flat sample, such as a tensile specimen, that has been gridded with a pattern of squares. The USB high-resolution camera and the USB data acquisition board make this system lightweight and portable.
GPA-100 Model
Measures a single grid square or circle at a time, where the measured data is plotted instantly on a forming limit diagram or section plot. The GPA is completely portable, requiring only a laptop computer and the hand-held GPA camera unit.
ASAME Display Software
The ASAME Display Software uses the same core program as their strain measurement systems to show major strain, minor strain, strain directions, and three-dimensional part geometry. It can graph forming limit diagrams and section plots, calculate thickness and effective strain, and import and export all data in a variety of formats. |
