In many companies in the metal-producing industry, the work of materials testers is an elementary component. Whether in steelworks, foundries or in the automotive industry, materials have to be physically and technically analysed. With the right components and accessories, the technological properties can be optimally determined.
Material Testing Machine ZwickRoell ProLine 20kN
The ProLine is the ideal testing machine for functional tests on components and standard tests on materials. In combination with the intuitive testing software, the ProLine materials testing machine is quick and very easy to operate. All test specifications can be used. The ProLine, including all mechanical, electronic and software components and the extensive range of accessories, are ideally matched to each other.
Features:
The ProLine is available in various test speeds, the speed is independent of the test force. In order to compensate for heavy test fixtures, test loads of up to 110% of the nominal machine load are also permitted. The ProLine is available for test loads up to 20 kN and with a test area height of 1050 mm. The ProLine is operated and supplied with a standard PC and does not require a special additional card.
**The ProLine machine is also available in other versions. We would be happy to advise you individually **.
