Force Measurement

HMM-Hytech Bend Testing Machines: Uncovering Material Integrity and Performance HMM-Hytech Bend Testing Machines are a crucial tool for engineers and quality control professionals, providing a precise and comprehensive solution for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials. By accurately measuring a material's resistance to deformation under load, these instruments generate vital data for quality assurance, research and development, and certifying compliance with industry standards.

A bend testing machine functions by applying a controlled force to a specimen to induce bending. The machine positions the sample on a support fixture, and a loading nose applies a force at a specified point or points. Typically, this is performed using either a 3-point or 4-point bending setup. As the force is applied, a high-resolution load cell records the exact force, while a displacement sensor precisely tracks the resulting deflection. The data from this process enables the calculation of key material characteristics, such as flexural strength and the modulus of elasticity, which are essential for material performance analysis.

The engineering of HMM-Hytech Bend Testing Machines is centered on reliability, accuracy, and user efficiency.

•  Exceptional Measurement Fidelity : Our machines are fitted with state-of-the-art load cells and transducers, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable measurements of both force and displacement.
•  Adaptable Fixturing : With adjustable support spans and a variety of bending fixtures, these machines can be configured to test a diverse range of specimen dimensions and materials, including alloys, polymers, and composite materials.
•  Advanced Software Integration : The included software provides a streamlined interface for test configuration, automates the data acquisition process, and produces detailed reports and force-deflection curves for thorough analysis.
•  Rigid Frame Construction : The robust and stable frame minimizes unwanted vibration and mechanical deflection, which is critical for ensuring the integrity of test data.
