About the universal testing machine automation system “SAGX-V Series”
Universal testing machines are used for strength tests to measure the strength of materials and changes when force is applied. The “SAGX-V Series” was jointly developed with “Shiji (Shanghai) Automation Technology Co., Ltd.”, a startup in the robot field in China. By linking the main body of the testing machine, the robot, and an LED type sensor that measures the size of the object to be measured, everything from measuring the metal material to the tensile test is fully automated. Test accuracy and efficiency are improved with software that is easy to operate, even for beginners. By making the components modular, they can be freely combined, and the layout can be changed according to customer requirements.
