Electronic Universal Testing Machine

APPLICATION:

Universal Testing Machine is designed

for testing metals and other materials

under tension, compression, bending,

transverse and shear load. Hardness

Test on metals can also conducted.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:

Operation of the machine is hydraulic transmission of load from the test

specimen though pressure transducer to a separately house load

indicator. The system is ideal since it replaces transmission of load

through levers and knife edges, which are prone to wear and damage

due to shock of rupture of test pieces.

Load is applied by hydrostatically lubricated ram. Main cylinder

pressure is transmitted to Pressure Transducer housed in the control

panel. The transducer gives the signal to the electronic display unit

corresponding to the load exerted by the main ram. Simultaneously the

Encoder fitted on the straining unit gives the mechanical displacement

to the electronic display unit. Both the signals are processed by the

microprocessor. The load and displacement is displayed on the digital

readout simultaneously.

STRAINING UNIT:
This consist of a cylinder, motor with chain & sprocket drive and a table coupled with
the ram of the hydraulic cylinder mounted on to a robust base. The cylinder and ram
are individually lapped to eliminate friction. The upper cross-head is rigidly fixed to the
table by two strengthened columns.
The Lower cross-head is connected to two columns which are driven by hydraulic
piston. Axial loading of the ram is ensured by relieving the cylinder and ram of any
possible side loading by the provision of ball seating.
A displacement measuring encoder with a resolution of 0.1mm measures the
deformation of the specimen in electronic unit and 1mm in analogue unit through
recorder.
While the Tension test is conducted by gripping the test specimen between the upper
and middle cross-head, Compression, transverse, bending, shear & hardness tests
are conducted between the middle cross-head and lower table.
The middle-cross fitted on two screw column which is movable up and down using
gear motor for ease of fixing of the test specimen.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
The hydraulic circuit consist of hydraulic power pack having a directly driven radial plunder pump, which gives a
continuous non pulsating flow of oil pressure up to 200kgf/cm2. Oil filter, oil level indicator, drain plug provided on the
power pack. A pressure compensated needle type flow control valve is provided to control the oil flow to cylinder there by
achieving desired piston speed. The variable speed can be obtained with the help of vales.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
A separate switch box and electrical panel is provided on hydraulic panel. The hydraulic pump motor and gear motor has
electrically interlocked. The wiring of limit switches is done in such a way so as to stop the hydraulic pump motor if the
load increases beyond the machine capacity or if the piston stroke exceeds limit.
