Applications
Advantages of the Robotic Testing System
‘roboTest A’
The robotic testing system is used for the fully automatic
performance of tensile tests on:
• Metallic specimens
(e.g. according to DIN EN 10002-1, ISO 6892, JIS Z
2201, ASTM E8)
• A high reproducibility of the test results is obtained
because operator influences are excluded (hand
temperature, moist hands, eccentric or inclined
insertion of specimens etc.).
• Qualified laboratory staff is relieved of routine jobs and
• Plastics specimens
(e.g. according to ISO527-2, ASTM D790)
is thus available for more complex activities.
• The machine can be used during idle times (break,
• Dimensionally stable specimens of other materials
(e.g. wood)
night shift) thus increasing the rate of utilization and
allowing „quicker“ results.
• The system reduces the testing costs per specimen
System Configuration
• Materials testing machine 5 kN up to 250 kN
with symmetrically closing, pneumatic or hydraulic
specimen grips and an optional extensometer
and usually pays off within one to two years.
• Manual tests are still possible by simply pushing the
robotic feeding system aside.
• The automatic data logging system ensures secure
