Stand Alone Semi Circular Bend SCB Tester

Description of Stand Alone Semi Circular Bend SCB Tester

The Semi-Circular Bend Tester features a rigid two-column load frame with easily adjustable crosshead. The cabinet houses the load jack, motorized actuator and digital control system in one compact setup.

Automatic control of the test speed/travel by the microprocessor controller. Prior to the test, the operator can set travel limits to automatically end the test. The firmware allows performance of transducer calibrations and setting of up to 10 test profiles and saving data onboard. Real-time test graphs and transducer data are displayed on the touchscreen.

The Semi-Circular Bend Tester has built-in data acquisition system with four channels dedicated to two strain gauge load cells and two potentiometric linear transducers; one of each can be used during the test. It is important to note that the processing unit controls the speed in a closed-loop mode, avoiding speed calibrations and tension fluctuation effects.
