Small but powerful - our mini oven for highly efficient testing according to customer requirements! 🔥 Did you know that conventional testing methods are often inefficient and inaccurate at high temperatures? The solution: our mini oven! Now possible: tensile tests up to 350°C - precise, fast and energy-efficient. 👍 Tests above 200°C often take too long? Samples slip in the clamps? We have the answer! With our specially developed mini oven, only the free length of the tensile specimens is heated, while the clamps remain outside the hot zone. This allows us to guarantee precise, optical strain measurements directly in the oven. 📈🔩 The benefits from reduced heating times are temperature testing up to 350°C and a high energy efficiency - a plus for your efficiency and the environment! 🌱 Rely on our expertise and let us design your testing machines according to your individual requirements. Thanks to our close cooperation with the Institut für Leichtbau und Kunststofftechnik (ILK), TU Dresden you have access to the latest scientific findings. 🔬 Please don't hesitate to contact us for your customized testing machine at 📞 Tel: +49 351 446960 90 #innovation #lightweight #leichtbau #innovativeedge #engineering #simulation #testing #manufacturing #carbonfiber #polymers #metals #composites

Did you ever think of testing bonded joints? 🤔 When testing bonded joints and adhesives in our test laboratory, we use, for example, the Double Cantilever Beam test (DCB). This allows fracture toughness to be determined. 🔩👍 When designing safety-relevant components, knowledge of the fracture behaviour of materials is necessary. The parameter that describes the fracture behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymers and adhesive bonds is the fracture toughness. ⚙️📈 ➡️ Our services: ✔️ Double-Cantilever-Beam tests (DCB), End-Notched-Flexure tests (ENF), Mixed-Mode-Bending tests (MMB) for adhesive joints ✔️ Description of delamination and crack propagation in FRP materials ✔️ Determination of the fracture toughness for fibre failure under tensile and compressive load ✔️ Determination of fracture toughness for pure polymers and metals ✔️ Use of optical measurement technology to determine crack propagation Which methods have you already used in materials testing?
