We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Testing Machines",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Engine manufacturer upgrades testing machines from
Zwick Testing Machines, which we summarised at the time by saying "Using an upgraded Vibrophore fatigue tests can be performed on parts, such as valve bridges, rocker arms and gear wheels, with a frequency between 80 and 90Hz".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Global testing system cuts confusion from
Zwick Testing Machines: "The LSIMS connects and integrates Zwick's testing products used in Woodbridge production plants around the world to a central computer system in Canada".
In March 2007, we covered the news from HBM UK
concerning its Z30A and TOP-Z30A force transducers
- take a look at Force transducers prevent manual setup problems
which says: "The latest Z30A and TOP-Z30A force transducers from HBM provide very high precision measurements of both tensile and compressive forces".
Take a look also at the news release from Lloyd Instruments, Materials testing equipment goes on display,
as well as Materials testing company showcases wares from Lloyd Instruments,
and Robot tests three things at once from Zwick Testing Machines.
