How to Choose a Tensile Test Machine for Your Material

The sixth factor is the test budget you have. How much money do you want to spend on your tensile test machine? What are the initial and ongoing costs of your machine, such as the purchase price, the installation fee, the accessories, the software, the maintenance, and the calibration? You need to choose a tensile test machine that can meet your needs, and that can offer you the best value for your money. You also need to compare different options and vendors, and negotiate the best deal for your machine.

For automated tensile tests, the testing machine is supplemented with a robotic testing system, which removes specimens from a magazine and inserts them in the specimen grips of the machine. A 2D code reader, cross-section measuring device or, depending on the test, a hardness tester or roughness measuring system can also be connected. Disposal of specimen remains is also handled by the automated tensile testing system. 

The benefits provided by robotic systems apply to both large and small test series:

• Up until now, automated tensile testing has mainly been used by laboratories with high specimen volumes. Without the need for operator attendance, the fully automatic tensile testing system can be used for night shifts and over the weekend, with a consistent high level of efficiency, 24/7. 
• Even for small test series starting with approximately 10 specimens, an automated tensile testing system proves worthwhile. With the use of a simple robotic testing system for tensile tests, qualified laboratory personnel are relieved of routine responsibilities and therefore available for more complex tasks. 

The fully automatic tensile test eliminates subjective operator influences, such as hand temperature or skewed specimen gripping on the specimen and test assembly. This results in a high level of accuracy and reproducibility, and the quality of test results is significantly improved.
