Miscellaneous Test Facilities

Strength Test Devices
Static and dynamic strength tests with e.g. ZWICK/ROELL, INSTRON Samples: standard specimens or components, e.g. chains or other traction mechanism Static tensile force: up to 250 kN Dynamic tensile force (pulser): up to 100 kN Possibilities of measurement: force-elongation or stress-strain behaviour, breaking force, sustainable load alternations etc.

Thermal Camera and High Speed Camera
Mobile thermovision camera FLIR Measurement of surface temperatures (e.g. at test devices or at conveyor systems), thermal graphs, damage analysis (e.g. of jammed chain links) High speed camera WEINBERGER, up to 10.000 pictures⁄second Analysis of movements and breaks in single pictures or video

Optical and Laser Microscopes
Digital microscope KEYENCE, enlargement 25 to 1000 times Laser microscop KEYENCE, resolution 1 nanometer Damage analysis, surface roughness, structures and depth of wear

Others
Software for CAD (Inventor, Catia), FEM (Ansys), simulation, measurements, data analysis etc. Injection molding tool for plastic sliding chains Possibility to use technologies as extrusion, injection molding or even analyse technologies for plastics at the institute
