Speedy operation for crease and stiffness tester
The IDM crease and stiffness tester is now more ergonomic and faster in test operation.
Foams take a pounding to determine fatigue
A novel foam-pounding machine determines fatigue by constant-load pounding, in accordance with the ISO3385 standard.
The DL range incorporates the quality characteristics of the existing range, with improvements made to the computer software, fixtures as well as offering a larger range across the DL line.
The DL range is designed to suit a variety of testing procedures such as compression, tensile, indentation and many more.
To accommodate these testing procedures, the machines can be fitted with a selection of grips and fixtures, as well as extensometers.
A significant aspect of IDM Instruments is that the company is able to customise testing machines to suit customer's specific requirements.
In this case, IDM Instruments can specially design grips or fixtures to suit specific testing needs.
Featuring a robust design, and using electromechanical concepts, the universal testing machine allows for testing of virtually any materials including foam, plastics, metals, paper, textiles and various others, made available in different capacities, depending on specific testing requirements.
Capacities range from 5 to 1000kN.
For those complex testing requirements, machines can also be manufactured with three testing spaces.
The inside grips for testing larger capacities, and outside grips for testing smaller capacities, eliminating the requirement to lift heavy materials and change fixtures regularly.
Operation of the DL range is made via the front control panel, at an easily accessible height.
All DL range universal testing machines operate using TESC built-in software, featuring digital display for load and deformation, test speed control and automatic return, database for test results, statistics among samples, and several other features.
Operators are also able to save test results, as well as print test reports.
