100% Safety for you and the entire Testing System
Zwick will provide you with expert advice on the best possible safety solution for your application. In addition you will receive a comprehensive safety briefing individually tailored to your testing system.
Built-in safety concept
The interaction of the electronic and mechanical safety components and the software-based safety system guarantees maximum protection for user, specimens, test data and testing system.
The 2-channel safety circuit, including Emergency STOP, crosshead end-stop switches, interlinked accessories, and operating-mode selector-switch, provides enhanced safety during set-up, while the CE-compliant electrically interlocked safety device prevents access to the machines during testing. Naturally we only use approved components which conform to the highest safety and industrial standards (ISO/IEC 60947, …).
Future-proof
Modular design means that the testing system can be re-equipped or upgraded whenever required. Moreover, the testControl II control electronics are compatible with the future generation of Zwick software, with spare parts available for a minimum of ten years after the product has been discontinued.
User Safety
Intelligent safety functions, industrial safety technology, selectable operating modes and compliance with the new EC Machinery Directive – all combined to ensure maximum protection for the user.
Data Safety
testXpert® II guarantees maximum security for user data and test results. Protection against manipulation is ensured by intelligent user management, comprehensive access management and the ‘Expanded Traceability’ function.
Specimen Safety
Active sensor monitoring, force limitation during set-up mode plus intelligent force-increase detection and force control in testXpert® II guard the specimen against unacceptable overloads.
System Safety
The intelligent sensor identification system in combination with the test environment concept prevents damage to the testing system due to limit values being exceeded. In addition the new system monitor enables total supervision of key system status indications and offers preventive advice.
