Instron has combined the rugged hydraulic frame designs of Satec Systems with its own state-of-the-art 5500 control electronics in producing the 5590-HVL Series for metals testing.
Instron has combined the rugged hydraulic frame designs of Satec Systems with its own state-of-the-art 5500 control electronics in producing the 5590-HVL Series for metals testing.
Designed to provide static tensile and compression testing for fasteners, concrete, reinforcement bar, steel plate, bar, tube and wire, the 5590-HVL Series is ideal for the aerospace and construction markets.
The 5590-HVL Series includes load frame capacities ranging from 100 to 3000kN.
These hydraulically powered load frames include two test spaces allowing tension and compression tests to be performed in separate areas.
This design allows users to change between tension and compression testing without the need to remove heavy fixtures.
This feature ensures safety, reduces operator fatigue and provides a high level of flexibility.
The 5500 digital control system offers automatic identification and calibration of transducers and the industry's fastest data collection and control rates.
All servo-controlled 5590-HVL systems include the unique 5500 user panel to provide access to common test functions remote from the system PC.
These functions include starting and stopping a test, manually loading or unloading the frame, returning the frame to its starting position, and zeroing transducers.
The user panel is conveniently positioned at the load frame allowing operators to maximise test throughput.
Instron's 5590-HVL series uses Partner Software, a leading software package with built-in templates for tension, compression, proof and shear testing.
Partner Software is user-friendly and efficient.
Test wizards and mini movies provide graphic driven instructions for ease of use and comprehension.
The online help feature keeps productivity high with its series of multimedia segments that educate users in various aspects of materials testing.
