Automatic Impact and Tensile test Specimen Preparation

Robot

Milling machine

Turnover station

Raw material station

Processed specimens station

Dimension measuring system

Laser marker

Datamatrix reader

The process of turning raw materials into specimens ready for testing is completely controlled by the automatic specimen preparation system. - No physical manipulation from an operator is required. - The system can run in fully automatic or in semi automatic mode. - From a single raw material piece, three charpy specimens are made.

Impact Test Specimen

Charpy V- specimen

Different types of specimens can be produced in the cell. Desired specimens are choosen from the predefined programs.

DF13- specimen

VF1- specimen

Tensile Test Specimen

Visual measuring of the notch radius
