Product catalog summary

Application

The 'roboTest I' robotic testing system is designed for semi or fully automatic tempering, feeding, and testing of Charpy specimens according to EN10 045 or ASTM E23 standards. It operates within a temperature range of -180°C to +300°C and is compatible with pendulum impact testers RKP 450 or PSW 750.

System Configuration

  • Pendulum impact tester options: 450 J (semi-automatic) or 750 J (semi or fully automatic).
  • Semi-automatic tempering and feeding unit with a capacity of 10 specimens, optionally 21.
  • Fully automatic unit with a capacity of 10 specimens and an integrated magazine for up to 90 specimens.

Characteristics

  • Specimen cooling via liquid nitrogen and heating electrically with direct conductive contact.
  • Specimen handling through manual or automatic slides.
  • Temperature and test process controlled by a PLC.

Advantages

  • High reproducibility of test results by eliminating operator influence.
  • Automatic specimen alignment and test initiation.
  • Enclosed system prevents manual handling inside the liquid tank.
  • Homogenous and precise specimen temperature ensured by a massive, isolated tempering frame.
  • Cost-effective, with potential payback within one to two years.
  • Increased utilization during idle times, providing quicker results.

Technical Data

  • Test type: Notched bar impact test.
  • Specimen dimensions: 10 x 5...10 x 55 mm with specific tolerances.
  • Temperature range: -180°C to +300°C, controlled with ± 1°C precision.
  • Cycle time: ≤ 1.5 minutes; Feeding time: ≤ 5 seconds.
  • Power consumption: max. 2500 Watt.

Options

  • Specimen identification via Datamatrix.
  • Specimen removal belt (only PSW).
  • Data exchange with testXpert® / RS232.
  • Temperature increase up to +600°C.
  • Increased furnace and magazine capacity.

Mechanics

  • Standard magazine capacity: 10 specimens (semi-automatic), 90 specimens (fully automatic).
  • Dimensions: 2700 x 2207 x 1739 mm; Weight: approx. 800 kg.
  • Electrical connection: 400/230 V - 3 PNE/PNE; Output: 2700 VA.
  • Compressed air requirements: 5-7 bar, filtered; 2 lpm.

Test Sequence

Specimens are manually or automatically loaded into the tempering unit, heated or cooled to the required temperature, and then automatically aligned and tested. Each test is completed within 5 seconds after specimen removal from the tempering unit, with subsequent tests following once the pendulum resets.

Product Information Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest I’ (Impact) for pendulum impact testers Characteristics • The cooling of the specimen will be done via liquid nitrogen, the heating electrically. The heat transmission between the specimen and the tempering frame is via direct conductive contact. • Slides will do the specimen handling inside the temperature unit. The slides are manual (semiautomatic) or automatic (fully automatic) operated. • A PLC controls the temperature unit and the test process. Advantages of the robotic testing system ‘roboTest I’ Robotic testing system ‘roboTest I’ for pendulum impact tester RKP 450 or PSW 750 • 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.). • The alignment of the specimen at the specimen The robotic testing system is used for semi or fully automatic tempering, feeding and testing of Charpy specimen according to EN10 045 or ASTM E23 at temperatures -180°C up to +300°C support and the start of the test are done automatically. • Enclosed system, no manual handling inside the liquid tank System configuration • A massive and isolated tempering frame guarantees a homogenous and exact specimen temperature. • Pendulum impact tester 450 J (semi automatic) or 750 J (semi or fully automatic) • The specimen temperature is measured by a thermo elements. • Semi automatic tempering and feeding unit ‘roboTest I’ (Impact) with a capacity of 10 specimens (optional 21 specimens) in the tempering unit • Fully automatic tempering and feeding unit ‘roboTest I’ (Impact) with a capacity of 10 specimens (optional 21 specimens) in the tempering unit and a integrated magazine for typically 90 specimens • Only one temperature unit is necessary for all temperatures • The system reduces the testing costs per specimen and usually pays off within one to two years. • The machine can be used during idle times (break, night shift) thus increasing the rate of utilization and al
