Load Frame is Steel Welded Structure

Load Frame is Steel Welded Structure

Load frame is steel welded structure with high stiffness where top and bottom plates are tied with side place.
It is designed to withstand a few million times of full cycles of loading without any sign of distortion or fatigue. These frames are light in weight.
The top plate has the upper spherical seated platen with oil filled ball seat assembly as per IS : 14858-2000 to take care of any irregularity of the specimen surface or slight misplacement of the specimen from the central position. The upper and Lower loading platens are hardened and has hardness of 55HRC. The flatness tolerance is 0.03 mm and the roughness value (Ra) in the range of 0.4ìm.
The base carries a fine finished servo controlled hydraulic cylinder with hardened and finest abraded piston.The bearing surface of the Lower Loading platen has marking inscribed to facilitate proper centering of cubical and cylindrical specimen of different sizes.
The frame is provided with safety guard doors and transparent fragment guards (both front and rear) as a protection to the operator while at the same time giving an unobstructive view of the specimen under test. Proximity switch/ Limit switch is provided as a safe guard against over travel.
A load cell or pressure transducer is fitted in the frame with testing range from 1% to 100% capacity of machine with an accuracy of ± 0.5% of indicated load. A displacement transducer is fitted with the ram to measure the deformation of the specimen.

HYDRAULIC POWER PACK
Hydraulic power supplies are compact in design and are suitable for the supply of required flow and pressure for the movement of the actuator. It has an oil tank of adequate capacity, vane type pump powered by a three phase motor. All the electrical controls including the temperature controller are fixed on one side of the tank. It includes all the accessories like pressure line filter, return line filter, oil level, relief valve, pressure gauge, digital temperature indicator and air cooled heat exchanger. Anti vibration mountings are provided as standard along with the HPS.

for the operation of the machine. Total machine operates on 440VAC 3 phase supply.

Note: Hydraulic Power pack can be supplied with manifold block with solenoid valves to operate multiple loading frames (Max. up to four can be operated through same hydraulic power pack

PC BASED CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL SOFTWARE
Control system provides the digital servo control, Ramp generation & low frequency wave generation for the machine actuator, data acquisition, etc. for the continuous operation of the system.

Signal Conditioning & Controlling Unit
controller basically consists of signal conditioning unit and controlling unit. Signal conditioning unit receives the output signal from the various transducers (Load cell/Pressure Transducers, LVDT, Strain gauge etc.) and amplifies and process that signal as per the requirement and transfer it to computer through connecting cables where it is accepted by the data acquisition system. The output from the signal conditioning unit for each transducers ranges from 0-5V.

Control is on Load/ Stress or Displacement or Strain basis. It consists of dedicated servo-controller card that gives the desired processed signal through the P.I.D controller to the servo valve to operate in selected control mode. It also sends the signal to computer and accepts the command from the software to operate in desired manner. The parameters like rate of loading, safety limits for load can initially be programmed through the software. The facility is given to program the rate of loading from 0.1kN/sec-50kN/sec in Load control and 0.01mm/sec-1mm/sec in displacement control.
