Product catalog summary
Applications
The 'roboTest A' robotic testing system is designed for fully automatic tensile testing of various specimens, including metallic, plastic, and dimensionally stable materials like wood. It adheres to standards such as DIN EN 10002-1, ISO 6892, JIS Z 2201, ASTM E8 for metals, and ISO527-2, ASTM D790 for plastics.

System Configuration
The system includes a materials testing machine with a capacity ranging from 5 kN to 250 kN, featuring pneumatic or hydraulic grips and an optional extensometer. It integrates a robotic feeding system with a 20-specimen magazine and is controlled by testXpert® and autoEdition2 software.

Advantages
The 'roboTest A' offers high reproducibility by eliminating operator influence, freeing laboratory staff for complex tasks, and allowing operation during idle times to increase utilization. It reduces testing costs and supports manual testing by moving the robotic system aside. Automatic data logging ensures secure documentation and enables statistical monitoring.

Test Sequence
Specimens are loaded into the magazine, and data is entered on a PC. The system automates specimen feeding, testing, and fragment removal. Barcode operation can streamline data entry.

Technical Data
  • Mechanics: Swivellable mounting, 20-specimen capacity, dimensions of 1500 x 690/840 x 600 mm, and weight of approximately 85 kg.
  • Connected Values: Requires 230/115 V electrical connection, 200 VA output, 50/60 Hz frequency, and 6 bar compressed air at 2 lpm.
  • Control: Uses autoEdition2 software with PROFIBUS peripheral connection.
  • Specimens: Supports dumbbells, stripes, tubes, round or profile specimens with specific size and weight limitations.

Options
Includes barcode specimen identification, data exchange with superior systems via ASCII-files or ODBC, and an optical status indicator with a traffic light system.

Product Information Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest A’ (Compact) Robotic testing system ‘roboTest A’ with testing machine 20 kN Pincer gripper removes a specimen from the magazine Advantages of the Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest A’ The robotic testing system is used for the fully automatic performance of tensile tests on: • Metallic specimens (e.g. according to DIN EN 10002-1, ISO 6892, JIS Z 2201, ASTM E8) • 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 • Plastics specimens (e.g. according to ISO527-2, ASTM D790) is thus available for more complex activities. • The machine can be used during idle times (break, • Dimensionally stable specimens of other materials (e.g. wood) night shift) thus increasing the rate of utilization and allowing „quicker“ results. • The system reduces the testing costs per specimen System Configuration • Materials testing machine 5 kN up to 250 kN with symmetrically closing, pneumatic or hydraulic specimen grips and an optional extensometer and usually pays off within one to two years. • Manual tests are still possible by simply pushing the robotic feeding system aside. • The automatic data logging system ensures secure • Robotic feeding system ‘roboTest A’ with integrated magazine for 20 specimens • Industry Controller with test software testXpert ® and automation software autoEdition2 documentation and enables statistical long-term
