Universal Testing Machine - QM Series

The QM-Series Universal Testing Machine is loaded with technical features, ergonomic design and is produced with the highest quality as a benchmark. This instrument is suitable to be used in production lines, where the operator has to be fast and efficient, and accurately control the test, Testing lab environments, where using the advanced software, the users can analyze the test data, have full control on processing, filing, and test management.

A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is used to test both the tensile and compressive strength of materials. Universal Testing Machines are named as such because they can perform many different varieties of tests on an equally diverse range of materials, components, and structures. Most UTM models are modular and can be adapted to fit the customer’s needs.

Universal Testing Machines can accommodate many kinds of materials, ranging from hard samples, such as metals and concrete, to flexible samples, such as rubber and textiles. This diversity makes the Universal Testing Machine equally applicable to virtually any manufacturing industry.

The UTM is a versatile and valuable piece of testing equipment that can evaluate materials properties such as tensile strength, elasticity, compression, yield strength, elastic and plastic deformation, bend compression, and strain hardening. Different models of Universal Testing Machines have different load capacities, some as low as 2 kN and others as high as 3,000 kN.

Features of the QM-Series Universal Testing Machine

• Precision reducers, ball screws which significantly reduce the noise and transmission losses while increasing the transmission efficiency.
• The seal plate mining anode hardening protects the ball screw and increase service life and precision of the instrument.
• Load cell has memory lock function which memorizes various parameters.
• Plug and play load cell.
• When using the external I/O signal contact various functions can be expanded.
• Jog control and very easy for operation of machine
• Many relevant tests can be performed with optional grips and extensometer of fixtures.

Q-SOFT Control Software

QSOFT is the software used to control the Universal Testing Machine. The QM-Series unit and the software are designed to accommodate a wide variety of testing needs. The software has a variety of preset programmed test cycles for compression, tensile, and cyclical testing to meet a range of testing standards

This software has the following capabilities:

• Selection of communication language
• Setting of test methods
• Test execution
• Analysis of the results
• Printing of the certificates
• Graphic post-analysis of the tests
• Statistical analysis of the tests

A powerful software engine helps the operator to set up and connect accessories to the equipment in many phases. It includes a package of preloaded methods according to the main international reference standards for different types of material to perform the following tests:

• Traction
• Compression
• Flexure
• Cycles
• Spring tests

The structure of the software is very flexible, giving companies the capacity to personalize the tests while still achieving the proper credentials. With Qualitest’s software, companies can:

• Create custom tests.
• Customize the certificate.
• Print the certificate with a company logo.
• Print the stored certificates anytime in the future, for single tests or as a summarizing certificate.
• Analyze a test anytime in the future.
• Store results for future calculation to use factors that were not selected at the moment of the test execution (more than 500 standard results can be determined by reanalyzing data)
