Computer Controlled Fatigue Testing Unit Deluxe

The Computer Controlled Fatigue Testing Unit, allows to study the fatigue strength of the materials. For that purpose, fatigue tests are performed with different materials and notches.

ATENG 12230 — Computer Controlled Fatigue Testing Unit

(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
• Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Optional items: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
• 1EEFC Unit:
  Bench-top unit.
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements
  similar to the real one.
• The “ATENG 12230” unit mainly consists of:
• Electric motor of 0.37 kW, maximum speed: 3000 rpm.
  Motor speed control by a frequency regulator, controlled
  by the control software (from the computer).
• Loading device with a load cell (force sensor), range: 0 – 50
  kg. Adjustment using threaded spindle with hand wheel
  between 0 and 300 N at the cantilever end of the test
  pieces.
• Speed sensor (range: from 0 – 5000 rpm) and cycle counter.
• Test pieces with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 380 mm:
  Two AISI 304L Stainless steel cylindrical test pieces.
• Unit: ATENG 12230
  Six AISI 304L Stainless steel cylindrical test pieces, with
  different notches.
  Two F-1 Carbon steel cylindrical test pieces.
  Six F-1 Carbon steel cylindrical test pieces, with different notches.
  Two F-212 Steel cylindrical test pieces.
  Six F-212 Steel cylindrical test pieces, with different notches.
• The unit includes all the safety measures required for a safe operation:
  Metallic protective cages, a fixed one for the motor axis outlet and a removable one for the test
  piece zone; without it the unit does not work, since it is provided with a safety system to avoid
  accidents.
  Automatic shut down in case of the test piece breakage, controlled from the control software (from
  the computer).
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
  importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
  are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.
