Stay up to date with a software update/upgrade.
Based on both internal and external factors, such as the integration of new test standards or changes in Windows compatibility, it is important to keep your testing lab up to date. We offer individualized software services for flexible adaptations to your everyday testing needs. With our testXpert software, you have access to a user interface that features an easy to use, simple layout that allows you to quickly get your operators up to speed.
Step one for a modernization: electronics upgrade
An upgrade of your electronics is the first step in modernizing your testing machine. By upgrading your measurement and control electronics you keep your testing processes in line with the latest technology and your old machine becomes comparable with a brand new version.

- Control Cube servo controller for dynamic testing machines.
Specimen grips for accurate test results
To obtain accurate test results and ensure reliable testing, the right specimen grip and corresponding test tool are essential. In our comprehensive testing accessories portfolio you will find the right specimen grip for any application—whether for tensile, compression, flexure, shear or cyclic tests.
More precise results with ZwickRoell load cells
A load cell is prerequisite for accurate and reliable test results. The load cell measures the force as the specimen material is deformed or broken, while also characterizing the mechanical properties of the specimen. For optimal integration into your testing system, we offer our own, patented Xforce load cell series.
Testing machine automation solutions
Rising personnel costs, the lack of qualified laboratory staff and especially the availability of new, more cost-effective robot solutions are only a few of the incentives for switching from manual testing to an automated process.
The lightweight robot roboTest N for example, offers an economically feasible solution even for small series testing starting as low as 25 specimens per day. The space-saving and compact design allows it to be retrofitted to your existing testing machines.
The test process starts with specimen preparation
Specimen preparation builds the foundation for every test. Within our comprehensive range of testing accessories you will find different solutions for the preparation and dimensional measurement of your specimens—whether plastics, metals or paper and cardboard.
FAQ
New sensors, such as load cells or extensometers, expansion of the electronics, mechanical testing devices and software updates.
That depends on your individual needs. If, for example, you want to test according to new standards or change over to new materials, your machine needs a retrofit.
For requirements that cannot be covered by our standard range of accessories, we also offer special solutions. These cover the different areas of your machine, including mechanics, electronics and software.
The compatibility is checked by ZwickRoell on a case-by-case basis to ensure that your machine is fully functional.
That depends on the scope; for example, small mechanical retrofits and software (new test specifications) can be installed independently. More complex retrofits, on the other hand, are installed by our service technicians.
Training and instruction can be carried out by our trained service technicians directly on site at your machine.
