Admet has introduced Dforce, a tabletop universal testing machine for fatigue testing materials and structures.
Dforce features a linear motor for tests in both vertical and horizontal orientations with actuator strokes from 25-300mm with 10um resolution.
Coupled with Admet's Mtestquattro controller and software, it provides closed loop force and displacement controls for fatigue testing to 15Hz.
It also offers data acquisition, real-time plotting and reporting.
Dforce performs compression, tension and flexural tests on biomaterials, medical devices, composites, and aerospace components.
Both static and dynamic tests from a few grams to 275N continuous, and 1,850N peak force can be performed.
Admet said Dforce is ideal for fatigue tests that cannot be run on static equipment but do not require costly high-speed (>100Hz) actuators and multi-channel controllers.
Users can program ramp, sine and triangular waveforms.
They can also adjust control gains and end point values on the fly or activate amplitude control to automatically adjust the end point values to ensure that the desired targets are met.
