Zwick Materials Testing Zw/ck / Roell Product Information Robotig Testing System ‘roboTest for Testing of Rubber O-Rings Applications The robotic testing system is used for the fully automatic performance of tensile tests on rubber rings (e.g. according to DIN 53504 with standard rings R1/R2, ISO 37 or ASTM D412). System configuration • Materials testing machine 2.5 kN up to 20 kN with roller grips according to DIN 53504 or ISO 37 • Removable specimen magazines for each 50 rings • Robotic feeding system ‘roboTest L' with pincer gripper • Automatic thickness measuring unit for o-rings (measurement at one point) • Industry Controller with test software testXpert ® and automation software autoEdition2 L' (Linear) Advantages of the Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest L’ • 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) and thus increases the rate of utilization and allows „quicker“ results. • The modular system makes an economical adaptation to specific customer requirements possible. • The system reduces the testing costs per specimen and usually pays off within one to two years. • Manual tests are still possible by simply moving the robotic feeding system aside. • The usage of state-of-the-art web-technologies ensures a constant process control and remote diagnostics of the robotic testing system. Results as well as status messages can be sent directly per email or SMS. • The automatic data logging system ensures secure documentation and enables statistical long-term monitoring (Statistical Process Control). • The components of the robotic testing system are not subject to wear; they are maintenance-free and designed for three-shift operation.

Zwick Materials Testing Zw/ck / RoellProduct Information Robotig Testing System ‘roboTest for Testing of Rubber O-Rings Test Sequence • The user fills the removable specimen magazine at the specimen preparation or directly on the test system with O-rings. Then the magazine will be placed on the magazine table. • After the startup of the system, feed and test of the specimens are carried out automatically. With the optional expansion „motoric moving table“ integrated, up to 7 specimen magazines (=294 specimens) are tested in succession. • After testing of all magazined specimens the magazine can...
