As part of a project for the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering of the Lodz University in Poland, we realized the production of the LabTest 6.600 E.3 machine. Thanks to the typology of the tested material and the conditions for testing, we have made several innovative modifications to this machine. One of the most significant modifications of the device, in addition to the raised frame, is the possibility of testing composite materials, namely fiberglass concrete reinforcements. For this reason, we created enlarged inserts for the grips with increased frictional force in the bearing surface, and therefore it was necessary to make more robust hydraulic grips with side pressure.

Since the clamping of fiberglass reinforcements is a very specific discipline, so thanks to many years of experience in this field with our engineers, we have developed a method combining 3 factors:

• Creation of special grips with inserts
• Automatically controlled pressure in the grips
• developing a specific clamping surface on the hydraulic grips

Modified hydraulic grips also offer the possibility of attaching other accessories to the grips, such as accessories for 3 and 4 point bending, without the need to disassemble them.

We modified our Charpy hammer

LabTest CHK 50J – D

We are expanding our portfolio of impact hammers!

• As part of the expansion of the portfolio of impact so-called Charpy hammers LabTest CHK.1 up to 50 J, we have modified our standard equipment and created a new machine version LabTest CHK 50 J – D, which is a digitized variation of its predecessors. The LabTest CHK 50 J – D device has a number of innovations suitable for simple and fast operation of the machine, suitable both for the non-stop production or for random laboratory testing:

 

• Easy replacement of the test pendulum hammer by loosening one screw from the axis of rotation.
• Carbon reinforcement and lighter version of testing arms.
• Sliding protective cover.
• Automatic pendulum locking system.
• Possibility of adjusting the three positions of the default angle.
• Automated centering system of the specimen.

The testing process is ensured by the SIMATIC PLC control system with a touch screen.

Charpy impact hammers of the CHK series. 1 in a table design with a nominal energy of up to 50 J are, thanks to their accuracy, ergonomics and originality, a world leader in the field of impact testing. All our Pendulum Impact Hammers are modularly designed so that, at the customer’s additional request, they can be easily and quickly expanded with a superstructure system, either in the form of instrumentation or full automation using the Blue Runner robotic system.Pendulum impact hammer can be supplemented directly with the entire TCR test center to comprehensively ensure the measurement of notched toughness, namely the optical inspection of the OPTOLab 55 II sample and the VRE notching device for the formation of U and V notches. In our product portfolio you will also find Charpy Impact Hammers with an integrated touch LCD monitor with a full-fledged PC, including IMPACTTest software.

Springs testing has never been easier and more fun!

In LABORTECH, we have no shortage of creativity, even in these difficult times!

We have offered our foreign customers a truly original, simple and at the same time highly effective solution for testing copper samples, which they are able to easily prepare on our machine!

The special electromechanical testing set LabTest MCS designed for testing copper samples according to GOST 28515-97 and BS EN 12893: 2000 enables not only testing of copper samples on 3 separate testing work spaces, but also the preparation of test samples on the winding device, which is working quickly and reliably. The whole testing proces is set by the control system and all evaluation with control system is performed via the operating LCD display.

Do you want to know more information about our device? Watch the attached video, Click on the button below “Find out more about our equipment” or call us and our dealers or application technicians will answer any questions.

 

Thanks to our impact testing center, your testing will become a highly effective and time-saving matter.

The perfect ergonomic design and software interoperability of our devices ensures a comfortable and fast execution of the entire test process.The testing center consists of a device for forming V and U grooves – Notching machine VRE, device for Optical specimes check – OPTOLab 55 II and Pendulum impact tester CHK with nominal energy up to 750J.

The entire testing process takes no more than 40 seconds…

• Sample preparation
• Sample optical check
• Impact test

LABORTECH TEAM

The conference of Czech and Slovak testing laboratories with LABORTECH participation!

At the end of September, an annual meeting of representatives of Czech and Slovak laboratories took place and LABORTECH was there! Our colleagues exchanged knowledge with the representatives of Czech and Slovak testing laboratories on the topics “Testing innovations”.

During the presentation of the company, we introduced our innovative approaches and methods in the field of mechanical testing applied to many of our realized projects. Our innovations and approaches have always been based on partial factors, namely increasing productivity and efficiency during the testing process and reducing total costs and energy consumption.

The conference participants were able to learn about our intelligent hydraulic units, which reduce overall energy consumption, noise during testing, as well as a semi-automatic workplace for assembly of shock absorbers, which combined more work into one unit, thus increasing production by up to 300 % and reduced the total cost by 70%, or our impact test center, which is able to dent the U or V of the sample, visually inspect it and then break through with our CHK impact hammer within 40 seconds.
