roboTest B

Product catalog summary
Overview
The 'roboTest B' is a compact robotic testing system designed for fully automatic tensile and flexure tests on plastics and other dimensionally stable materials. It integrates with a materials testing machine and features a robotic feeding system with an integrated magazine.

Applications
The system is suitable for conducting tensile tests according to ISO 527-2, ISO 3167, ASTM D638, and flexure tests according to ISO 178. It can handle dimensionally stable specimens of various materials.

System Configuration
  • Materials testing machine with a capacity ranging from 5 kN to 100 kN.
  • Robotic feeding system with a maximum stacking height of 80 mm, typically accommodating 20 specimens.
  • Industry Controller with testXpert® and autoEdition2 software for automation.

Advantages
  • High reproducibility of test results by eliminating operator influence.
  • Frees laboratory staff for more complex tasks.
  • Increases machine utilization during idle times, reducing testing costs per specimen.
  • Manual testing remains possible by moving the robotic system aside.
  • Automatic data logging for secure documentation and statistical monitoring.

Technical Data
  • Mounting: Swivellable at the load frame.
  • Capacity: 20 specimens (4 mm thickness).
  • Dimensions: 680 x 680/840 x 930 mm.
  • Weight: Approx. 85 kg (without specimen).
  • Electrical connection: 230/115 V, 200 VA, 50/60 Hz.
  • Compressed air: 6 bar, 2 lpm.

Control and Connectivity
  • Automation via autoEdition2.
  • Peripheral connection through PROFIBUS.

Specimen Specifications
  • Types: Dumbbells, stripes.
  • Material: Dimensionally stable, non-adhesive.
  • Weight: Max. 100 g.
  • Dimensions: Length 80-220 mm, Width 15-30 mm, Thickness 4 mm.

Options
  • Specimen identification via barcode.
  • Sorting of specimen remains.
  • Data exchange with superior systems via ASCII-files or ODBC.
  • Optical status indicator with a threefold traffic light system.

Test Sequence
The user loads the specimen magazine, enters specimen data on the PC, and initiates the system. The system automatically handles specimen feeding, testing, and removal of fragments.

Product Information Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest B’ (Compact) Robotic testing system ‘roboTest B’ with testing machine 20 kN Pincer gripper removes a specimen from the magazine Advantages of the Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest B’ The robotic testing system is used for the fully automatic performance of: • Tensile tests on plastics specimens (e.g. according to ISO 527-2, ISO 3167, ASTM D638) • Flexure tests on plastics specimens (e.g. according to ISO 178) • Tensile or flexure tests on dimensionally stable specimens of other materials System Configuration • A high reproducibility of the test results is obtained because operator influences are excluded (hand temperature, moist hands, eccentric or inclined insertion of specimens etc.). • Qualified laboratory staff is relieved of routine jobs and is thus available for more complex activities. • The machine can be used during idle times (break, night shift) thus increasing the rate of utilization and allowing „quicker“ results. • The system reduces the testing costs per specimen and usually pays off within one to two years. • Materials testing machine 5 kN up to 100 kN with symmetrically closing, pneumatic or hydraulic specimen grips and an optional extensometer • Manual tests are still possible by simply pushing the • Robotic feeding system ‘roboTest B’ with integrated • The automatic data logging system ensures secure magazine for max. stacking height 80 mm (for typically 20 specimens) • Industry Controller with test software testXpert® and PI663 2.1108 robotic feeding system aside. documentation and enables statistical long-term
