Machine deployment
It depends on where the machine will be deployed – testing room, research workplace or operation. Accordingly, the machine can be replenished or prepared for:
- Manual operation – manual loading and unloading
- Semi-automatic operation – the operator sets up, after evaluation the part is taken by a robot, manipulator, etc.
- Automatic operation – the part is loaded and unloaded by a manipulator, robot, etc.
Supply inputs and let us work. We will meet your ideas.
Use
These sheet metal testing machines are designed for testing deep-drawn materials. They provide fast and reliable quality monitoring for sheet metal manufacturers and users. There are important reasons for using the EC Series sheet metal testing machine for quality assurance: Reduce production costs by performing random quality checks on cold rolled sheet metal during production or in the process department. Sorting of lower quality material arrives in the receiving department. Without special test preparation, it is immediately possible to determine whether the delivered material has the prescribed drawing quality. Determination of the most suitable sheet thickness for a specific drawn workpiece to optimize the cost/suitability ratio for the production process.
Tested parts and standards
The EC series testing machines are ideal for testing the following parts:
- testing of materials in the medium thickness range (0.1 to approx. 3.0 mm) – model ECTest 80
- testing of materials in the medium thickness range (2 to approx. 10.0 mm) – model ECTest 1000
- ERICHSEN Cupping Test according to DIN EN ISO 20482 JIS Z-2247 NF A 03-602 NF A 03-652 ASTM E 643 GOST 10510 GB 4156-07
- ERICHSEN Deep Drawing Cup Test according to DIN EN 1669 ISO 11 531 JIS Z 2249 GB/T 15825
Provide us with a drawing of the part to be tested and we will design everything for you.
Design of preparations
Each component tested on universal-Sheet Metal Testing Machines EC Series shall have 100 % test fixtures having:
- High precision
- Alignment
- Hardness
- Toughness
- Mechanical resistance
All frips are constructed in 3D CAD INVERTER with detailed diagnostics by the FEM method, manufactured and subsequently subjected to demanding testing in our test laboratory. We guarantee the result, we are professionals.
Evaluation of the test
SMTest-S – integrated system software designed for basic deep-tension tests on SIMATIC systems. As a higher superstructure, the SMTest software – BASIC – is an intelligent, intuitive and powerful software for manual, semi-automatic or automatic operation with various modules. Thanks to these software systems, you will:
- we will help increase the productivity and quality of testing in your testing rooms and testing laboratories.
- enable you to streamline, refine and accelerate your test execution and tailor your testing environment to make it easy for deep-drawn sheet metal operators.
Say what you want and what you expect from the software and we will fulfill it for you.
Our specialists are able to custom design and manufacture a machine or automated system with a high level of quality and uniqueness. In the case of fixture design, optimization often starts with details and in 3D STEP formats or DWF viewers. When developing LABORTECH products, we place a high value on the quality, design and affordability of our products. In the design of machines and systems, we ensure a minimal ecological burden and ecodesign in accordance with EN ISO 14001:2016. We verify the accuracy, reliability, durability and mechanical resistance of our machines in our testing and calibration centre.
