CERMAC has always approached the laboratory machinery market with a unique philosophy in the world of mechanical engineering: essentiality in the pursuit of quality.
This guiding principle is clearly reflected in our range of Universal Testing Machines.
CERMAC does not follow the path of the superfluous, but includes in each machine only what is necessary, ensuring that each added component brings real value and contributes to its functionality.
Cost-effectiveness is always at the forefront.
This distinctive approach is what has uniquely positioned CERMAC in the market. Compared to leaders, CERMAC shines as a manufacturer offering quality at an affordable price.
In recent months, we have taken a further step forward in this business policy. We have partnered with X-Sight to introduce the Video Extensometer Series M into the range of accessories for CERMAC’s universal machines. We aim to bring innovation and precision for the benefit of our customers.
This innovative technology, based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC), offers a completely new perspective on deformation analysis and promises to revolutionize measurement approaches in the fields of engineering and material research.
In the realm of tensile testing and materials engineering, accurately measuring deformations is crucial for understanding material behavior under stress.
Today, we are excited to introduce this new development: the Video Extensometer Series M developed by X-Sight, integrated into CERMAC machines, particularly highlighting the seamless communication between X-Sight software and the Testing software inherent in all our machines.
Video Extensometers are now part of the CERMAC range, included in new models or available as an accessory for existing CERMAC machines owned by customers. In the latter case, our technicians are available to adapt and synchronize the software already included with your CERMAC machines.
Technology behind the Video Extensometer Series M
The Video Extensometer Series M represents a pinnacle in deformation measurement technology. This device utilizes advanced Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technologies to measure deformations through real-time image acquisition. The high-resolution optical sensor accurately captures details that were previously inaccessible, enabling precise deformation assessment.
Ease of use and full integration
As mentioned, the integration of the Video Extensometer Series M with CERMAC’s Testing software marks a breakthrough in deformation measurement efficiency.
This seamless integration eliminates the need for external hardware interfaces and significantly simplifies the workflow.
Operators can easily create and recall methods and calibrations for immediate use, reducing error margins and improving accuracy.
Versatility and multifunctional advantages of the video extensometer
The Video Extensometer Series M overcomes the limitations of traditional strain measurement methods. This device can measure a wide range of strains without requiring the purchase of different models.
Its ability to simultaneously measure axial and radial strain provides a comprehensive view of material behavior under stress. Furthermore, due to the absence of physical contact with the specimen, the Video Extensometer Series M is particularly suitable for fragile or small-sized materials.
Reliability and performance in extreme conditions
One of the most significant advantages of the Video Extensometer Series M is its reliability even in the most extreme conditions.
It withstands impacts, vibrations, and temperature variations, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements. Its capability to measure up to the sample’s failure, including significant variations in section, offers an unprecedented opportunity to analyze material behavior.
Automation and the future of deformation analysis
With the Video Extensometer Series M, automation becomes a reality in strain analysis. Reducing human intervention during testing allows staff to focus on more in-depth analysis and development activities. Additionally, the device can record the entire testing process, making the video recording available over time for any needs, ultimately opening new perspectives in process optimization.
Conclusion
X-Sight’s Video Extensometer Series M, as an accessory for CERMAC’s Universal Testing Machines, marks a crucial step forward in the world of deformation analysis. This cutting-edge technology, leveraging DIC, offers extraordinary benefits in materials engineering, research, and industry. Its ease of use, versatility, reliability, and complete integration make it an excellent choice for tensile testing across a wide range of materials. As we look to the future, it is evident that the Video Extensometer Series M will open new horizons and pave the way for further innovations in deformation measurement.
