Thermal tensile testing bench

Thermal tensile testing bench

AQUILA is a thermal tensile testing platform that can perform EBSD analysis under a scanning electron microscope. Its unique design allows it to operate in short focal lengths while retaining enough space to either or closely approach two EBSD detectors (20 ° angle domain): one for ultra-high resolution observation and the other for ultra fast acquisition.
​​​​​​​

Due to its various clips, AQUILA is very versatile. The instrument can perform tensile testing on flat bone samples, compression testing on cylindrical samples, 3 or 4 point bending testing on strip materials, and even achievable low cycle fatigue testing under EBSD analysis.

High precision, efficiency, and stability

Explanation:

1. Using the most advanced technology in mechanical transmission efficiency, with a working speed range of 0.1-300? Between m/s, the force reaches 3.5 kN.

2. The coupling of precision guide rails and transmission systems increases stiffness.

3. The measurement of displacement and force has excellent accuracy.

4. Mechanical and electronic safety mechanisms protect users and prevent any damage during use, as well as complete ongoing automated testing.

5. The force is on the same plane rather than on the test sample to prevent parasitic bending moments.

AQUILA mini

AQUILA mini is a scaled down version of the instrument AQUILA, which is a thermal mechanical testing device compatible with optical microscopes and scanning electron microscopes.

The AQUILA mini also has incredible diversity of features, with a variety of clips that can be easily installed inside the machine and used for tension/compression testing, 3 or 4 point bending testing, and biaxial testing. In order to heat the sample to+650 ° C, users can also incorporate heating equipment into typical tensile/compression tests.
