Bi-axial Low Force Test System

Bi-Axial Low Force Test System
Bi-00-501 series include a biaxial load frame four servo electric
actuator assemblies with built-in digital position sensors, load cells
and the BiSS 2360 multi-actuator control system. The Bi-00-501 is
specially configured to test "cruciform" shaped thin sheet specimens
with or without notches such as cracks under biaxial loading
conditions. The control hardware and software are designed to enable
continued retention of specimen center position even in the event of
non-uniform displacement on any one of the four tabs. This, along with
the capability for both in-phase and out-of-phase biaxial loading under
static as well as low frequency cyclic conditions provide an ideal
solution to the unique demands of testing thin films and sheets. The
test system enables testing of specimens submerged in a bath at
controlled temperature. Another option is the application of
non-contact video extensometry.Standard features
