Tensile testing rubber to ISO 37
Zwick has launched a new product in its Proline family - with 5 kN nominal force, the machine is equipped especially for tensile tests on rubber according to ISO 37 said the company.
Tester to check quality of lead-free solder joints
Machine performs durability tests to allow a statement to be made concerning the long-term performance of a solder connection by subjecting the connectors to fatigue.
The line includes a wide spectrum of machines with load frames from 500N to 100kN nominal force, so that especially standard tests calling for high nominal loads can be carried out cost effectively.
Geared not only for tensile testing of fibres, ribbons, ropes and geotextiles or for compression testing of floor coverings or padding materials, the ProLine is also well suited for testing of textile connecting systems such as zippers.
At the fair, Zwick will be exhibiting a machine with 5kN nominal force that is specially equipped for tensile testing of yarns and threads according to EN ISO2062.

The ProLine COF testing system is a perfect and affordable choice for testing the coefficient of friction of plastic film and sheeting when sliding over itself or other substances.
The crosshead speed is a versatile 0.1 to 500mm/min.
The tester comes with pneumatic specimen grips and a special specimen grip for yarns.
Additionally, fair visitors will be introduced to a table-top model from the ProLine designed for tensile testing of flat woven fabrics according to EN ISO13934-1.
The maximum force of this device is 10kN, with the crosshead speed ranging from 0.1 to 1000mm/in.
The tester can be equipped with a unit for ball puncture testing according to ASTM D3787-88 and ISO3303 Method A.
When designing and developing the ProLine, Zwick engineers naturally focused on functionality; other key aspects considered were quality, accuracy and ease of use.
And it goes without saying that high machine availability was a must.
The reasonable purchase price and low maintenance costs are further plus points that count for the ProLine.
A comprehensive range of accessories - specimen grips, compression and bending devices, mounting tools, and special testing units - makes it simple to tailor a test system to a particular application.
When developing these tools, Zwick took special care to ensure that the individual components could be deployed flexibly by placing great value on a modular design of the line.
Well worth mentioning are the shortest delivery times and system solutions at best value for money.
Of course, all Zwick ProLine testing machines are CE compliant and meet ISO9001 requirements.
As is the case for all Zwick materials testing machines, the ProLine uses the proprietary Zwick testXpert software to control and monitor testing.
Not only does testXpert comply with international standards, the software also fulfills the strict guidelines set for good manufacturing practices (GMP). Request a free brochure from Zwick Testing Machines ...
