Testing Systems

Dartec Ltd, UK, offers closed loop servo hydraulic UTMs and actuator systems with fully digital 32-bit microprocessor control and Windows based software for diverse applications in the field of materials testing for evaluation of quality, endurance and fatigue life estimation. They offer perhaps the most comprehensive range of servo hydraulic and twin screw driven UTMs and actuator systems for materials testing and quality evaluation aimed at fulfilling valid needs for QA and R&D oriented testing in industry and educational institutions. Machines are available in capacities ranging from 10 kN to 2 MN. They cover a diverse range of applications including static tension/compression, fatigue, low cycle fatigue, fracture toughness, high speed impact, etc. Environmental chambers and special furnaces for high temperature and below zero degree testing are optionally available. A complement of tooling and grips, extensometry and clip gauges along with application specific user friendly software provide the users with complete testing solutions. At the heart of all Dartec Test Systems is their advanced digital controller. Model 9600 control system is available in both single channel and multi-channel format. Thus it is the ideal choice for both UTM and test rig based applications. 9600 has broken new ground internationally as it is said to be the only system worldwide to offer 32-bit leading edge technology with faster control loop, higher resolution, lower noise and a revolutionary adaptive control which has been named MIMICS by Dartec. Dartec is also the first company to introduce digital linearisation of sensor signals. It is the only controller to offer up to 8 modes of control per channel along with good data acquisition capabilities. Thus, it is fast becoming the first choice of discerning testing machine users internationally. PROTEQ is the exclusive agent for Dartec materials testing machines and systems in India. It has several sales and service offices and trained and experienced engineers for providing installation and commissioning services, after sales support, post warranty AMCS, etc. Essential spares are stocked-in India and NPL UK certified proving rings are available for calibration services. PROTEQ assists users with extensive on the machine training and demonstrations. Since the learning curve can be sometimes fairly sharp for these sophisticated microprocessor based test systems for such users who have little prior experience of closed loop controlled UTMs and software driven testing. PROTEQ often make courtesy follow up visits to user sites after commissioning to help users clear doubts and ensure optimum utilization of the machines.
