Scientists have developed a wide range of characterization tools for the many fundamental properties of materials, such as mechanical, structural, surface, synthetic, and applied, and a wide range of related testing equipment has emerged. One of the most widely used devices, the universal testing machine, has attracted a lot of attention. This universal material testing machine is not only common in the laboratory, but also in industrialized production. This article explores its functions and applications.Universal Testing Machine Function1. Comprehensive TestingUniversal testing machine is specially used to detect the mechanical properties of materials and specimens mechanical properties of the computerized universal testing machine. It can test specimens under various environmental conditions, performing tensile, compression, bending, shear, torsion, impact, and hardness tests to evaluate mechanical and physical properties.In addition, the function of universal material testing machine can be further subdivided into special test and common test to meet various complex testing needs.2. Easy to operateUniversal tensile testing machine is not only comprehensive in function, but also easy to operate. Through its built-in software, users can easily configure test parameters, monitor real-time data, and perform intuitive analysis.This intelligent operation greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the test.3. Multiple ModelsAt present, the universal testing machine on the market is mainly categorized according to the type of power source, including mechanical, electronic and hydraulic. Electronic universal testing machines are now the most prevalent type due to advancements in technology and their broad applicability.4. Wide applicationThe universal material testing machine plays a vital role in scientific research and industrial quality control. It is widely used in metallurgy, machinery, automobile, electronics, construction, aerospace, chemical industry and transportation and other fields and departments, and can cope with a variety of composition, nature and shape of the components to be tested. Whether it is metal sheet, plastic film, or composite film, aluminized film, aluminum foil, sheet, etc., all of them can be accurately tested by the universal testing machine.5. Precise controlA typical electronic universal material testing machine system can be divided into four core modules: mechanical system, servo system, measurement system and control system. Mechanical system covers the frame, transmission, execution and fixtures and other key components; servo system is centered on the servo controller; while the measurement system includes photoelectric encoder, extensometer and force transducer; control system consists of the lower computer (microcontroller) and the upper computer (PC). All modules are synchronized via servo motors. After system initialization, the servo motor rotates at a preset speed, driving the ball screw and crossbeam to move the upper fixture. The lower fixture remains stationary, enabling tensile or compression tests.Compliance with Various StandardsSATRA TM5, TM53, TM52, TM51, TM108, TM113, TM117, TM118, TM120, TM123, TM149, TM162, TM401, TM 411, TM 410, ASTMD 751/2209 /412/624/3512 FIA 1206, BS 5131- 3.7, 5.11, 5.13 , BS 5131-2.6 ISO 22650, ISO 19958, ISO 3377-1, ISO 3377-2, ISO 11644, ISO 20866, ISO 20867, ISO 19957, ISO 20874, ISO 20344-5.2.4, ISO 20345-5.3.1.2, ISO 17698, ISO 20875, ISO 22777, ISO 22776, ISO 22654, ISO 20863, ISO 20876, ISO 17695, ISO 17697, ISO34-1, ISO36, ISO37, ISO 17708, ISO 17696, ISO 17706, ISO 22650 AS/NZS 2210.2-5.2.4 DIN 53331, GB/T 3903.8, GB/T 3903.9, GB/T3903.14 ,GB/T3903.20, GB/T3903.21, GB/T3903.22, GB/T 3903.23 , GB/T 3903.24, GB/T 3903.25, GB/T 3903.26, GB/T 3903.29, GB/T3903.32,GB/T 3903.39,GB/T 3903.40, GB/T 3903.43, GB/T 4689.20, GB/T20991-5.2.4, GB 21148-5.3.1.2, GB/T 17928, GB/T529, GB/T528, GB/T532, GB/T11413, GB/T21396 QB/T 2711, QB/T2675, QB/T2883, QB/T4118, QB/T4198 HG/T 2726, HG/T 2877, HG/T4805Application Example: Footwear Testing A quality inspection organization uses a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) for footwear to perform compression, flexion and peeling tests on the soles of sports shoes. The specimens (EVA/PU/rubber) are prepared according to ISO standards, and the testing speed is 5mm/min with 50%±5% humidity. the computerized universal testing machine automatically records the force-deformation curves, analyzes the resilience, flexural strength and adhesive properties, and establishes a database of the material properties to optimize the design of the shoe soles and to improve the durability.
