Bi-Axial Low Force Test System PDF Print E-mail

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.
