Mesh ripping tester

Mesh ripping tester

A machine designed to test the force required to rip the mesh from prepared workpieces.

General information

The machine consists of an electrical system (control system) based on Kistler's system and an operating chamber consisting mainly of a servo motor and a strain gauge. At the end of the servo motor there is a knife for tearing the mesh and an electromagnet. Depending on the shape of the workpiece and the mesh welding points, we select a knife and an electromagnet suitable for the tested workpieces.

Testing is performed in the following steps:

1. Assemble a knife and electromagnet in the operating chamber that match the workpiece on which the tests will be conducted.
2. Place the test piece on the electromagnet, close the test chamber door.
3. Switch on the electromagnet and switch on the servo motor - proceed to testing.
4. When the test is complete, the test results will be displayed on the screen as force diagrams.

Each tester is additionally equipped with a barcode scanner, which allows for scanning the batch number of a given detail and sending it to the server. Thanks to this, it is possible to keep an up-to-date database of tested details.

The tester is made to individual orders.

The mesh ripping tester is used in:

• brake production;
• applications using welding;
• machines that press on parts with a specific force;
• extrusion of metal sheets and components.
