testControl II – the Innovative Electronics

Powerful, innovative measurement and control technology.

testControl II measurement and control electronics provide the ideal basis for precise, reproducible test results. As well as setting new standards in safety technology, efficiency and quality, testControl II is laying down a benchmark for drive technology.

Advantages & features

High measuring accuracy and reproducibility

Maximum accuracy
The smallest force changes on the specimen are quickly and accurately recorded and displayed. The A/D converter guarantees high measured-value accuracy over a wide measurement range with sampling rates of 400 kHz and 24 bit resolution.

High data transmission rate
Each travel and force peak is acquired with high resolution and recorded synchronously at 500 Hz on all measuring channels. Optionally, the measured value acquisition rate can be expanded to 2,000 Hz. The high data transmission rate enables fast measurement with the highest degree of reproducibility. This is highly advantageous for quick tests, short, brittle fracture events and in tear-growth, adhesion and peel tests.

Time-Synchronous Signal Processing
Time-synchronous acquisition of measured values from all sensors connected to plug-in slots takes place at the fast system-frequency, as does data transmission to ZwickRoell testing software. This ensures high test-result reproducibility regardless of the sensors in use or the test sequence; for example force and travel signal synchronicity is maintained, even with strongly differing test speeds.

Machine Compliance Correction

Real-time correction via the corrected channel directly in the testControl II electronics, regardless of test speed and duration!
Control and positioning directly to the corrected channel.
Ideal for tests for which direct-measurement extensometers cannot be used.

Eco mode
The testControl II machine electronics automatically switch to eco mode when not in use, saving energy.

System monitoring
testControl II system monitoring provides the user/laboratory manager with detailed information on the current status and level of utilization of the testing equipment. This enables further increases in testing equipment availability and greatly simplifies maintenance planning and spares/replacement procurement.
