PPM - 1000 kN Universal Buffer Test Machine
Brief description of the test cycle:
The operator drives the test object carrier
out of the machine in order to allow the
placement of the test object into the
housing using a crane or other handling
equipment. The operator then activates
the machine by pressing the two handed Fully integrated high resolution distance Superior high-pressure hydraulic cylinder with
operator console, the buffer is then measurement and control extremely robust piston and guides
automatically driven into the test position
underneath the press cylinder. Test cycle
runs automatically. The resulting force- Hydraulic block with high precision proportional
displacement curves are displayed and valves
evaluated. Once the test cycle is
complete the test object is driven out of
the test rig to the loading area for Guiding cylinders prevent rotation during press
removal. The resulting customer specific PC on flexible jointed arm
stroke
test protocol shows the raw data i.e. the
actual force / displacement results in
numeric form as well as the
“characteristic curve achieved“ and the Communication via PC, in order to set test
“characteristic curve required“. In Robust high precision load cell
parameters, to display, analyse and
accordance to the buffer specification the
final result is the I.O. or N.I.O. rating.
