Double Column Universal Testing Machine (Servo)- HMI-PLC Controlled

How the Servo Controlled UTM Works

The specimen is secured between suitable grips or fixtures. Once the test starts, the servo motor moves the crosshead at the programmed speed while the load cell continuously measures the force applied to the specimen. The software records load, displacement and extension data in real time. Depending on the selected test method, it can calculate:

• Maximum load
• Tensile or compression strength
• Elongation at break
• Yield point
• Break load
• Peel strength
• Flexural strength
• Load at specified deformation

The results are displayed as graphical curves such as load versus extension or stress versus strain, making it easier to evaluate the complete behaviour of the material instead of only recording its breaking force.

Testing Applications
The Servo Drive Controlled UTM can be configured for:

• Tensile Testing: Measures tensile strength, elongation, yield behaviour and breaking load of plastics, metals, rubber, wires and textiles.
• Compression Testing: Determines the resistance of components, containers, foams and engineering materials against compressive loading.
• Peel and Adhesion Testing: Evaluates the bond strength of tapes, labels, laminates, flexible packaging and adhesive joints.
• Flexural Testing: Measures the bending strength and stiffness of plastics, composites and other rigid specimens.
• Tear and Shear Testing: Determines the force required to tear flexible materials or shear bonded and assembled components.

Why Servo Drive Control Matters
Test speed directly affects the measured properties of many polymers, elastomers, films and adhesives. An unstable drive mechanism can produce variations in extension, peak load and break-point results. The servo drive system maintains controlled crosshead movement even when the specimen resistance changes during testing. This improves repeatability, reduces mechanical fluctuation and provides more reliable test data for quality control, product development and material comparison.

Software and Test Reporting
The computer-controlled system allows operators to select test parameters, enter specimen dimensions and monitor the test in real time. The software can store test results, generate graphical reports and compare multiple samples. Test methods can be configured according to applicable ASTM, ISO or other industry standards, depending on the material, fixture and testing requirement.

• Plastic and polymer laboratories
• Rubber manufacturing
• Flexible packaging production
• Paper and textile testing
