Automation

Metal- and plastic-processing companies with high testing amount more and more often count on fully automatic testing plants and the advantages linked with it: The efficiency of the machines is raised as well as the personnel expenditure and the testing costs are reduced.

Hegewald & Peschke MPT GmbH offers complete engineering solutions in the area of destructive material testing on the basis of universal testing machines and hardness testers. The heart of these plants is usually a handling system based on an industrial robot. The whole testing process is controlled and supervised by the universal material testing software LabMaster. Via a remote diagnostic system the necessary high availability of the plants is safeguarded.

Fully automated and partially automated test systems

Test cells can be supplied in different versions in terms of the degree of automation.

In the fully automated process, the specimens in the test cell are identified via an ID and the test sequences are controlled by information from the network. In (partially) automated test cells, on the other hand, the tester performs specimen identification or a manual selective follow-up check, for example. In both variants, processes such as specimen measurement, labeling and other test-specific tasks can be integrated into the automated process.

Advantages of fully automated testing systems:

• Integration directly into the production process
• Very high specimen throughput possible
• No qualified operator required for specimen feeding and system operation

Advantages of automated test cells:

• Easy integration into the test laboratory workflow
• Support of routine processes in the test laboratory and thus relief for test personnel
• Can be converted for other testing tasks
