Which test methods are usually supported by other measurement technology components?

A few examples are:

Our torsion testing machine is used to apply a certain torque and at the same time a small, additional force sensor is used to measure a force at a point relevant to the product.
Quasi-static compression and tensile tests have also been accompanied by displacement sensors

How many measured variables can be recorded simultaneously?

The maximum number of sensors that can be used simultaneously is currently eight. However, the number can also be lower depending on the measurement frequency or other factors.

When is it interesting to use the DIC method?

A few examples are:

In static tests, the method was used to determine the ratio of the applied load to a moving distance on an implant.
In dynamic tests, a distance can be measured at a certain regularity (e.g. every 100 or 1000 cycles) in order to be able to examine the fatigue behavior optically and metrologically at precisely defined positions over hundreds of thousands of cycles.

Can the DIC method also be used to measure on inclined surfaces?

Surfaces at an angle to the sensor have a certain potential for incomplete data recording. We usually use adapters that are as small as possible, which we stick onto the test specimen to overcome this challenge easily and cost-effectively.

Can testing tasks with additional measurement technology also be offered validated?

In principle, testing tasks can also be validated when using mobile measurement technology. In most cases, however, the effort involved is high, so that validation is not carried out. Nevertheless, the sensors are calibrated either according to DaKKs or according to the manufacturer's factory standard.
