Product Information
Robotic Testing System ‘roboTest P’ (Portal) for Metals
Advantages of the Robotic Testing System
‘roboTest P’
• A high reproducibility of the test results is obtained
because operator influences are excluded (hand
temperature, moist hands, eccentric or inclined
insertion of specimens etc.).
• Qualified laboratory staff is relieved of routine jobs and
is thus available for more complex activities.
• The machine can be used during idle times (break,
night shift) and thus increases the rate of utilization
and allows „quicker“ results.
• For increasing the specimen throughput several
materials testing machines can be integrated.

• The modular system makes an economical adaptation
to specific customer requirements possible.
Application
• The system reduces the testing costs per specimen
and usually pays off within one to two years.
The robotic testing system is used for the fully automatic
performance of tensile tests on metallic specimens
(e.g. according to DIN EN 10002-1, ISO 6892,
ASTM E8, JIS Z2201). Additional tests like hardness or
roughness measuring can be carried out, too.
• For manual tests the specimen gripper can be moved
to the side, allowing operator free access to materials
testing machine.
• Due to the precise centering of the specimen in the
System Configuration
cross-section measuring device and the automation of
the measuring sensors, the specimen dimensions can
be exactly measured.
• Materials testing machine 5 kN up to 2000 kN
with symmetrically closing, pneumatic or hydraulic
specimen grips and an optional extensometer
• Specimen magazine for up to 400 specimens
(depends on specimen dimensions)
• Robotic feeding system ‘roboTest P’
• Barcode scanner (optional)
• Cross-section measuring device (optional)
• Other devices (see options)

• Industry Controller with test software testXpert ® and
automation software autoEdition2

• The usage of state-of-the-art web-technologies
ensures a constant process control and remote
diagnostics of the robotic testing system. Results as
well as status messages can be sent directly per email
or SMS.
• The automatic data logging system ensures secure
documentation and enables statistical long-term
monitoring (Statistical Process Control).
• The components of the robotic testing system are not
subject to wear; they are maintenance-free and
designed for three-shift operation.
