Universal Testing Machine for Small Test Loads up to 0.5 kN
This configuration of the zwickiLine 0.5 kN—a compact, high-quality single-column materials testing machine—is designed for standard low-force testing of plastic films, sheets, packaging films, adhesives, glued seams, laminates, and flexible bonded assemblies.
Easy to use, transportable, and space-saving, the zwickiLine 0.5 kN fits easily on a laboratory table while still delivering the performance needed for reliable materials testing. Its lightweight design, small footprint, and modular construction make it a practical solution for laboratories that need a flexible, cost-effective testing system without compromising on quality.
The system is equipped with a 500 N ZwickRoell Xforce P load cell, testControl II electronics, and testXpert testing software with predefined standard test programs for accurate, repeatable, reproducible, and traceable results.
Key features of the ZwickiLine 0.5kN include:
- Force range: 2 N to 500 N
- Typical specimen dimensions:
- Thickness: 0–6 mm
- Width: 0–30 mm
- High-accuracy Xforce load cell with a wide measurement range and resistance to transverse forces, bending moments, and torsional influences
- Precise travel measurement and positioning through advanced drive technology and machine compliance correction
- User-friendly testXpert software with predefined standards-based test methods
- Compatible with standard PCs and notebooks without special expansion cards
Two standard configurations are available:
|
Configuration |
Recommended Use |
|
zwickiLine 500 N with screw grips |
A flexible manual gripping solution for standard film, sheet, adhesive, laminate, and packaging material testing. Ideal for laboratories with moderate testing volumes and manual specimen handling. |
|
zwickiLine 500 N with pneumatic grips |
Designed for higher testing throughput and improved operator convenience. Pneumatic grips provide fast specimen loading and consistent gripping force, making them well suited for sensitive or difficult-to-handle materials. |
Both configurations provide a standardized ZwickRoell testing solution with defined scope, proven performance, and direct online ordering.
Cleanroom use: zwickiLine systems can meet requirements for class 5 and class 6 cleanrooms in selected force ranges. Please confirm suitability for your specific application before ordering.
