Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest H’ for Pendulum Impact Tester HIT25/50P

Product catalog summary
Application
The 'roboTest H' robotic testing system is designed for automatic impact tests on Charpy or Izod specimens at ambient or temperature-conditioned environments.

System Configurations
  • Available with HIT25P (25 J) or HIT50P (50 J) pendulum impact testers.
  • Supports instrumented or non-instrumented pendulums with energy from 0.5 to 50 Joules.
  • Includes a tempering magazine for up to 20 specimens and industrial controller with testXpert® and autoEdition2 software.

Advantages
  • Secure and reliable specimen transport to the tester within 5 seconds.
  • Automatic alignment and test initiation.
  • Optional automatic fracture mode detection.
  • Manual testing possible by removing the robotic system.
  • Optional accurate specimen temperature measurement.
  • CE-compliant construction ensures safe operation.
  • Can be added to existing HIT25/50P systems.

Benefits of Robotic Testing
  • High reproducibility by eliminating operator influence.
  • Frees laboratory staff for complex tasks.
  • Increases utilization during idle times.

Test Sequence
  • Manual preparation includes measuring specimen dimensions and cooling in a tempering magazine.
  • Automatic sequence involves transferring specimens to the test area for impact testing.

Technical Data
  • Magazine capacity: 20 specimens.
  • Dimensions: 310 x 240 x 590 mm; Weight: approx. 15 kg.
  • Electrical supply: 100 - 240 V; Power consumption: 150 VA.
  • Compressed air: 5-7 bar, 12 l/min.

Control and Test Specifications
  • Automation via autoEdition2 on industry controller.
  • Peripheral connection: PROFIBUS/USB.
  • Impact tests on Charpy or Izod specimens with loading time ≤ 5 seconds.

Options
  • Tempering box, instrumentation, temperature sensor, height adjustment, low-vibration table, increased magazine capacity, and active temperature conditioning available on enquiry.

Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest H’ for Pendulum Impact Tester HIT25/50P-1

Zwick Materials Testing H' for Pendulum Impact Tester Zw/ck / RoellProduct Information Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest HIT25/50P Application The robotic testing system ‘roboTest H' is used for automatic impact tests at ambient temperature or on temperature-conditioned Charpy or Izod specimens. System configurations • HIT25P (25 J) or HIT50P (50 J) pendulum impact tester with motorized pendulum return and safety housing • Instrumented or non-instrumented pendulums according to the standard with nominal energy from 0.5 Joule up to 50 Joule • ‘roboTest H' robotic testing system with tempering magazine for up to typically 20 specimens • Industrial controller with testXpert® testing software and autoEdition2 automation software Advantages of the ‘roboTest H’ testing system • Specimen gripper ensures the specimen is transported securely and reliably to the pendulum impact tester support within 5 seconds. • Alignment of specimens on the support and initiation of the test are always performed automatically. • With instrumented testing the fracture mode (complete, partial, hinged and non-break) can be detected automatically as an option. • Manual tests are still possible by simply removing the robotic testing system. • Optional accurate specimen temperature measurement via thermo-couple • Simple, convenient operation of the robotic testing system via testXpert® testing software is unaffected by automation. • Safe operation of the testing system via 100% CE-compliant construction is guaranteed in accordance with the latest machinery directive. • Adding this roboTest H-system to an existing HIT25/ 50P with pendulum repositioning is possible without problems. Advantages of a robotic testing system • 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 (e.g. breaks) thus increasing the rate of utilization and allowing „quicker“ results.
