UNIVERSAL TESTING FRAME UMIB
This test frame is the basic component of the UMIB/W series machines. Formed by four main columns and manufactured as per the Standards:
UNE-7281, DIN-51220, 51222, 51223, 51227, 51228, ASTM-E4, BS-1610 and EN-10002-1 (1990).
- The frame has a single test space, allowing several uses by interchanging testing devices.
- The four over dimensioned columns afford the machine a high degree of stiffness. The crosshead is locked tightly in place by a special plate-column friction system based on high-strength screws. The oil free system avoids the leak-tightness problems. The locking system is operated automatically by a hydraulic locking/unlocking device.
- The crosshead height can be adjusted with lateral hydraulic jacks. This improves the working conditions because the operator can adjust the compression testing space height to suit his needs.
- The test frame is accessible from all sides, making it possible to fit specimen feeding devices and automatic strain measuring systems.
- The large free distance between gripping heads (0 - 1000 mm, including the piston stroke) makes it possible to use devices for performing tests at high and low temperatures, and test large specimens without the need for modifications.
- A bedplate with a series of standardized holes for attaching the gripping devices and other devices for testing building components.
- A ground double-acting actuator mounted in the lower crosshead.
- Four chromium plated columns providing protection against corrosion and ease of maintenance.
- A height-adjustable mobile crosshead, locked with screws at the height required for the tests. The universal load cell (tensile-compression testing) is mounted on the upper crosshead. In series, on the lower part of the load cell, is mounted the upper gripping head with a ball-and-joint socket and a locking system for compression tests.
AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC LOCKING/UNLOCKING CROSSHEAD ADJUSTEMENT SYSTEM
APPLICATIONS
This system complements the lateral hydraulic jacks which control the vertical movement of the crosshead. The screw-based locking system, manually operated with a torque wrench, is replaced by remote, push-button controlled hydraulic pistons which automatically lock and unlock the crosshead and, therefore, the upper gripping head.
ADVANTAGES
- The system allows fast positioning of the crosshead by means of a displacement transducer (LVDT) axially placed in the piston with 300 mm. of maximum stroke. This is particularly useful when testing different sized specimens.
- The lateral hydraulic jacks and complementary automatic locking/unlocking system can be used to tauten the specimen slightly before the test (very useful in particular for non-rigid specimens such as chains, cables, ropes, etc.).
- The crosshead does not move unless unlocked (safety protection).
EQUIPMENT
- Releasing cylinders, adapters and hydraulic pipes for connection to the high-pressure hydraulic power unit.
- Directional seat valve.
- Relief valve.
- Safety switch valve.
GRIPPPING HEADS
FAST ACTING
These heads are particularly suitable for low-frequency, positive-load static or dynamic tensile tests (shaped-wave tests exceeding zero point) of cylindrical or prismatic specimens, with or without a head and made of metal or any other material. Rated test load = maximum static test load: up to 600 kN

- Automatic wedge-grip.
- Guided-wedge centering.
- Fast and easy-to-change wedges.
