testXpert II is used in conjunction with testControl, the latest technology in digital test machine controllers.
In addition to the conventional materials testing machines, exhibitors will experience a comprehensive range of new developments; a new range of testing machines (zwicki-Line) from 0.5 kN to 5 kN, new testing instruments for tests on plastics (Drop weight tester, Mflow, HDT/Vicat), new hardness testers (ZHU topLine), and a new sheet metal forming tester.
A special feature will highlight the latest technology and functionality in non contact extensometry (laserXtens and videoXtens).
There will also be new grips and tooling for yarns and textiles, and a much wider range of tools and fixtures for other specialized tests.
As always, Zwick experts from every industry sector will be available to answer questions and share valuable information with the delegates.
The Forum for Testing Technologies will offer more than just product information and exhibits.
Technical presentations and workshops in German and English language will enable the sharing of information on topical subjects concerning materials and component testing.
