Introduction
VERTEX range of spring testing machines are used for quick and accurate testing of tension and compression springs. The machine comprises of two hard chrome plated columns with fine cut single screw with hand wheel for manual loading and unloading arrangement. The machine uses a high precision load cell for measurement of force. For displacement measurement, mechanical linear scale or digital vernier calliper or rotary encoder is used. Measuring system of machine is based on latest microprocessor based electronics with tare facility.
Options
• Digital vernier scale with 0.01 mm resolution for displacement indication ( 6″ or 12″)
• Rotary encoder with separate digital unit 0.1 or 0.01 mm resolution
• 9 / 24 pin Dot-Matrix printer interface
• Serial interface hardware with data transfer software to computer
• Motorised loading operation.
Features
• Microprocessor based unit
• Force Measurement Accuracy +/- 1 % of indicated load or 0.5 % of full load value whichever is higher
• Quick and accurate measurement
• Interchangeable load cells
• Modulus data for load & displacement
• Optional Dot-Matrix printer interface
• Optional RS-232 Computer interface with window based software.
Electronic Digital Display
Unit The two-channel microprocessor-based signal conditioning and display unit indicates the load being applied on the specimen and the deformation in the spring. Load is being measured by the Load cell & is indicated in ‘N’ with a least count of 1N. The deformation is being measure by displacement sensor in ‘mm’ with a least count of 0.1mm. The system receives the output signal of the both the sensors as its input and amplify the same to be displayed on the LCD display at the front panel. A communication port (RS232) is also provided in the unit to transfer readings to the computer at an interval of 1 sec till specimen failure. Reset peak key is provided for resetting the peak value of Load achieved during the test.
