Research and teaching place high demands on versatility and openness to new testing methods: whether in university materials laboratories, medical technology laboratories, or additive manufacturing competence centers, testing systems must be flexible enough to be converted for changing tasks and sample types. Hegewald & Peschke offers a portfolio of universal testing machines, temperature control chamber, climate chambers and individually configurable accessories for this purpose.
With testing machines in performance ranges from 2.5 kN to 2500 kN, tensile, compression, bending, and peel tests can be performed on standardized specimens, as well as special applications on materials and components (e.g., creep tests, VHCF fatigue tests, testing of 3D-printed foams, animal tissue, or rock samples under temperature stress). Thanks to the LabMaster testing software, test sequences can be defined using block programs, and recording devices (e.g., video extensometers) and climate control systems can be integrated quickly and easily.
Our testing technology thus supports both students in basic laboratories and developers in research projects in obtaining reliable, reproducible data – for innovative material concepts and forward-looking research results.
For research and further development of the properties of 3D-printed plastic foams, a universal testing machine inspekt duo is used on which, in addition to simple compression tests, creep tests are also carried out at room temperature.
With the inspekt S 50kN, stamp compression tests can be carried out on glass according to ISO 614 and bending tests according to DIN EN 1288-3 up to a maximum load of 50 kN.
With this testing system consisting of a universal testing machine inspekt 150 kN, a 3-point bending bench and further testing devices, various standard-compliant tests on sandwich composites can be carried out.
This universal testing machine inspekt 250 kN is used in basic university research in the field of production technology. For this purpose, the universal testing machine is equipped with a hydraulic clamping device which enables optimum clamping of these short tensile specimens.
The universal testing machine inspekt 100kN with lateral test room 50kN was constructed for the tensile testing of metals and plastics at high and low temperatures...
The elevated temperature tensile test according to ISO 6892-2 is used to determine mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation at break of metallic materials at high temperatures. Hegewald & Peschke offers a customized solution for these tests with the Inspekt 250kN universal testing machine with an extended testing chamber as well as a hinged 3-zone furnace (up to 900°C), specifically designed for high-temperature tensile testing.
