This axial testing machine is suited for investigation of specimen with a small cross section under precise axial loading. Therefore e.g. hysteresis loops in a loading and unloading cycle may be identified. The machine is driven by an internal waveform generator. For special testing tasks, a supplementary PC with a 16 bit A/D converter is used. This combination allows the application of any desired loading distribution.
