Modernization Packages for Electromechanical Materials Testing Machines

Our Zwick Modernization and Retrofit Technology (ZMART.PRO) modular modernization packages for electromechanical materials testing machines can be individually tailored to your requirements.

The retrofit kits consist of the following basic elements:

testControl digital measurement and control electronics
testXpert testing software
new AC drive
special kits for adapting existing sensors such as load cells, extensometers etc.

Components used:

testXpert® II - Testing Software for Static Testing Systems

testXpert® II brings you the benefits of more than 90 years’ of materials testing experience and almost 20,000 successful testXpert® installations worldwide. Learn more about the intuitive, easy-to-use software which anticipates your needs.

testControl Measurement and Control Electronics

The load-measurement range of a modernized machine in Accuracy Class 1 is as a rule expanded from 0.2% to 100% capacity. All sensor force and strain data are completely synchronized, increasing testing accuracy. Due to the large measurement range additional load cells and associated configuration changes may be unnecessary.

AC-Drive

Brushless AC drives are wear-free, ensuring reliable operation. Excellent acceleration behavior gives the motors greater positional accuracy and positional dynamics compared with conventional DC drives.

Precise, stepless speed regulation over the entire speed range eliminates manual drive-step switching.
