In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...

A video demonstrating and automated mechanical testing system by Zwick/Roell. The system includes different set ups for tensile, bend and (Izod) impact tensile tests for several different types of ...

The TruBend 3000 bending machine series from Trumpf reduces throughput time by around 40 percent compared to the previous 3000 series machines. Depending on the machine type, the new TruBend 3000 will ...

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, ...

Jiri Praus has created an Arduino-powered CNC machine that can precisely bend brass wire, and even features a set of rollers to help straighten the wire before any precision bends are made. This ...
