First digital solenoid tester
Digital machine specifically for testing solenoid actuators is designed to apply and measure force and electrical values simultaneously
This ZHU250 Top universal hardness tester has expanded the capability of the laboratory to carry out Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell tests, and includes an innovative revolver system incorporating four indenters.
Similar systems require three or more objective lenses to cover the application range but, due to Zwick's digital zoom technology, the ZHU250 requires only two.
This enables a fast throughput of tests, and many different types of test can be carried out on the same machine with very high accuracy and repeatability.
The test results are also sent to the host computer system via a computer interface.
"A major reason for purchasing the ZHU250 was the excellent manufacturing quality, and the reliability of our existing Zwick Roell products.
"This convinced us to purchase this new machine, and as a result we have saved cost, improved our throughput and increased our business significantly" explains Wessel Volcker, Deutsche Edelstahlwerke's production manager. Request a free brochure from Zwick Roell ...
