Testing of chains - strength and bending tests
Universal testing machine inspekt 600 kN + 300 kN with lateral test room
The inspekt 600 kN universal testing machine with lateral test room has been specially configured for testing the strength of metal chains. Both tensile tests on complete chain strands and bending tests on individual chain links can be carried out - without having to modify the clamping. The combination of two test rooms enables a particularly efficient and flexible testing method:
- Main test room - tensile tests on chains up to 600 kN
- Lateral test room - bending tests on chain links up to 300 kN
Testing system
The testing system consists of:
- Universal testing machine inspekt 600 kN with lateral test toom
- Specimen holders for different chain types
- Flexibly adaptable tool connections to continue using existing customer fixtures
- LabMaster material testing software for precise evaluation and documentation
Safety and protective measures
As high test forces occur, the safety of the operating personnel is the top priority. This is ensured by a closed protective housing with interlock, which:
- Protects against fragments and rebound forces
- Prevents unintentional operating errors thanks to locking mechanisms
- Ensures complete personal protection during the test
Software and data analysis
The testing machine is supplied with the powerful LabMaster software which:
- Displays load-displacement diagrams in real time
- Enables automatic test sequences
- Offers data export functions for further analysis
The inspekt 600 kN universal testing machine with lateral test area is the ideal solution for reliable and standard-compliant testing of chains in industry.
