Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the modernization of Zwick's materials testing machines, emphasizing the need to update older machines to meet current technological demands and safety standards. The modernization process includes load-frame overhaul and repainting, ensuring precision, reproducibility, and compliance with safety regulations.
Modernization Benefits:
  • Over 20 years of experience in modernizing materials testing machines.
  • Warranty for newly installed components, similar to new machines.
  • Long-term service and support, with rapid assistance available.
  • testControl II electronics meet high safety standards and enable machine validation according to the latest quality standards.
  • Reuse of expensive components like extensometers and specimen grips.
  • Conversion and recalibration of existing load cells.
  • Installation of energy-efficient AC motors for improved control and positioning accuracy.
testControl II Electronics: The testControl II system provides precise, reproducible test results with high accuracy, control, and acquisition rates. It features high positioning and return speeds, modular design, and high safety standards. The system supports flexible connection options with up to 6 slots for additional sensors and measuring equipment.
Technical Specifications:
  • Force measurement compliant with DIN EN ISO 7500-1, ASTM E4.
  • Measurement range up to 165% of Fmax.
  • Calculated resolution of 24 bits, with effective resolution up to 20 bits.
  • Measured value recording rate of 400 kHz and transmission rate to PC up to 2000 Hz.

RetroLine testControl II AllroundLine-1

Materials testing Product Information RetroLine testControl II AllroundLine New from old - modernization in Zwick's workshops with load-frame overhaul, including repainting Modernization Even though older testing machines may have given faithful service over many decades thanks to their robust construction, the demands and requirements of today's technology can no longer be met using outdated equipment. Precision and reproducibility are key criteria in materials testing today, as is the observ‐ ance of current safety regulations. The needs of the markets can best be served with innovative products and sophisticated technology. The modular design of Zwick testing machines means that retrofit sets are available for all types, regardless of nominal force rating. Just as with our own machine ranges, modernizing machines from other manufac‐ turers presents no difficulty for Zwick. We have already converted 40 different makes of machine to Zwick tech‐ nology, acquiring a great deal of knowledge in the process. Advantages and features • Over 20 years' experience in modernizing materials testing machines • Warranty for newly installed components, as with new machines • Renewed long-term service and support • Rapid assistance via Hotline and in the event of repairs • testControl II measurement and control electronics satisfy the most demanding safety requirements • Enables validation of the testing machine in accord‐ ance with the latest quality standards • Use of intelligent testXpert III testing software • Re-use of expensive components such as extensom‐ eters and specimen grips • Existing load cells converted and re-calibrated • modern drive technology, achieved by installing a new, energy-efficient AC motor, with greatly improved contr
