Robotic testing boosts efficiency for Pirelli
A new robotic testing machine at the Pirelli Tyres plant in Carlisle has improved operational efficiency and freed technicians for more skilled work.
All the settings and parameters are multilingual with a representation that is easy to understand.
This robust, highly accurate device is well suited for applications up to 250kg.
With its generously sized working area, measuring 300 x 250mm, the ZHU250 makes handling of large specimens such as alloy wheels child's play.
Indentations are measured optically using a measurement line concept integrated into the focusing screen.
This approach ensures high reproducibility of the test results.
With the launch of the ZHU250, Zwick is first to market with a hardness testing machine that accommodates the current contents of the DIN EN ISO18265 standard to enable the revaluation of hardness values.
Now, in addition to the conventional tables thus far employed for steels and low-alloy steels and steel castings, the user is provided with standards-compliant evaluation options for materials made from aluminium and copper. Request a free brochure from Zwick Testing Machines ...
