No clamping =no mechanical influence of a mechanical sensor to the specimen: • High precision • No specimen influence/damage Measurement of the strain at failure (no mechanical limitation of the sensor)
|
Material independent |
Wide application field on all materials Soft and rigid materials can be tested Strains from 5µm/m to 1000%
|
Flexible field of view |
Specimen size of a few mm to some m For strains from 20µm/m until 1000% Used at small and large tensile test machines One system for • Different testing machines in one laboratory • Different tasks
|
Camera-based |
Easy specimen marking () Can be used for tiny specimen due to enlarged image visualisation Recording of movies for documentation and quality control High precision, high speed Simultaneous measurement of longitudinal and transversal strain
|
Live-camera-view |
Fast system setup Precise specimen alignment
|
Different data interfaces |
Compatible to all tensile test machines Fully integrated with tensile test machines Analogue or digital data interface to test machine Usual data logging and determination of material properties (e.g. Young's module) by the tensile test software Automatic control through tensile test machine/software
|
Calibration |
Easy system calibration with precise calibration plate Testing according to standards without mechanical sensor tracking
