Powerful, flexible, cost-effective testing solution for all your testing requirements.
The zwickiLine testing machine is equally ideal for research and development as it is for routine quality assurance testing. Development and manufacture of the zwickiLine, including all mechanical, electronic, and software components—together with the comprehensive range of accessories—takes place at ZwickRoell's production facility in Germany, so all components work together seamlessly.
Key Advantages and Features
Integrated safety in accordance with the EC Machinery Directive
The statutory safety requirements of the EC Machinery Directive are implemented in all ZwickRoell machines, while an EC Declaration of Conformity accompanies every machine. The most state-of-the-art safety technology and proven industrial components that comply with the highest safety and industrial standards (IEC 60947 etc.) are used. The highest degree of safety for user and testing system is guaranteed.
Powerful drives
Extremely low minimum speeds can be set, combined with high speed-stability. The drive also delivers high crosshead-travel resolution. This is important in cases such as component tests with especially demanding travel-precision requirements, or tests on specimens with high stiffness and small displacements.
The high test-speed range can be used without restriction. In addition, test loads up to 110 % of machine nominal load are permissible to compensate for heavy test fixtures, accessories etc.
High stiffness and precise crosshead guidance
The stiff load-frame profile and generous connecting surfaces reduce the inclination angle of the crosshead under load, enabling very precise alignment and application of force to the specimen. This is advantageous for flexure tests, compression tests, precision tests on components ... and many others.
Modern, high-quality load-frame design
- The new extruded profile used for zwickiLine possesses 6 continuous, freely accessible standard-profile slots for individual mounting of specimen materials, fixtures, safety devices, accessories etc.
- The generous test-area depth allows the use of larger fixtures and enables bigger components to be tested. The wide base-crosshead provides optimum securing for these.
- High quality is designed into the machine, ensuring a long service life; for example the controls for the electronics are made of hard-wearing ceramics.
Fast, convenient testing
zwickiLine can be operated in vertical or horizontal orientation as required and can be swiveled through 180° when in horizontal mode.
Modern safety enclosure
The operator is shielded from flying specimen fragments or other hazards by the CE-compliant safety enclosure featuring a large working area, transparent design and excellent accessibility
Flexible equipment options
A wide range of equipment options enables zwickiLine to be used for tests on plastics, elastomers, metals, composites, paper, board, textiles, foams, foodstuffs and components. The generous test-area depth allows the use of larger fixtures and enables bigger components to be tested. The wide base-crosshead provides optimum securing for these.
ZwickRoell Engineering—Made in Germany
The development and manufacture of materials testing machines, including all mechanical, electronic and software components, together with our comprehensive range of accessories, takes place at ZwickRoell's production facility in Germany, enabling us to create a product that is perfectly harmonized. Each materials testing machine is made of the highest quality standard enabling ZwickRoell to offer the best possible support.
Safety for the Entire Testing System
