In terms of safety, the testing machine is equipped with an automatic stop feature that activates if the change in test force exceeds a predefined threshold, thus protecting both the operator and the equipment from potential damage.
Additionally, dual over travel limits are integrated into the front console to prevent crosshead overshooting and sensor overloads. Operators can easily preset these limits to specific distances using a graduated rule along the column, ensuring precise control over testing parameters. Overall, the ATI UTM Pro combines cutting-edge engineering with user centric features to provide a comprehensive and safe testing solution. Loading weight system is the most critical aspect of mechanical testing. ATI UTM Pro is able to get the most ac- curate results. Measuring load can be from 0.4% to 100% of the rated capacity. Calibration within 0.5% accu- racy and conform to ASTM E4, ISO 7500-1, EN 10002-2, BS1610, DIN 51221 standards. This special load cell pro- vides excellent immunity to impact and size forces, rugged and low-profile measuring body with strictly symmetrical design. Mechanical protection to protect the strain area. It can be set for 105% over range protection, over load capacity of 150% without permanent zero shift and over load projection of 300% of the rated capacity withput mechanical damage.
Software
The software of the ATI UTM Pro is engineered to provide a comprehensive digital control system that enhances the precision and reliability of testing processes. Utilizing a specialized controller, the software allows for accurate digital adjustments of the zero point and gain for load, deformation, and displacement measurements. This user-friendly interface ensures ease of operation while maintaining high reliability across diverse testing environments. One of the standout features of the software is its ability to store, set, and load multiple parameters, facilitating the seamless integration of various transducers with a single load frame. This flexibility enables users to customize the testing setup according to specific requirements. Additionally, the software supports closed-loop control, allowing real-time visualization of reference curves as users adjust parameters, thus enabling immediate observation of the impact of those adjustments on test outcomes. The graphical functionality within the software is highly advanced, providing capabilities such as curve reappearance, amplification, reduction, self-adaptation, and overlaying of curves. Users can easily display and print curves within designated ranges while observing coordinates of specific test points, which aids in detailed analysis. Data processing is another critical aspect, as the software supports automatic analysis and facilitates intuitive human-machine interaction. This functionality streamlines the comparison and verification of test results, enhancing efficiency in data interpretation. Furthermore, the ATI UTM Pro software includes multilevel identity management, allowing different user roles to access specific functions. This not only accelerates operations for routine users but also bolsters system security. Test data is stored in a database as text files, making it easy for users to access and utilize various commercial report formats for further data processing. The capability to transfer data conveniently to the internet enhances collaboration and information sharing, solidifying the software’s role as a vital component of the ATI UTM Pro’s versatility and functionality.
Test controller feature
The ATI UTM Pro features an advanced control system that supports three closed-loop controls: force, deformation, and displacement. Each control ring can be automatically switched, enabling seamless transitions between modes without any impact on performance. This flexibility is essential for a wide range of testing applications. The system employs up to three channels of 24-bit high-precision A/D converters, ensuring exceptional measurement accuracy. The digital output interface is capable of producing pulse signals ranging from 0 to 2 MHz, while the analog output interface provides a 16-bit precision voltage signal between -10V and +10V. These outputs are suitable for controlling servo motors, servo valves, and other actua- tors, enhancing the system’s versatility. To further improve operational efficiency, the ATI UTM Pro supports USB interface mode, significantly increasing the transmission rate and allowing for higher sampling frequencies. This capability is crucial for real-time data analysis and processing. The machine is also equipped with a sensor self-recognition system and a correction parameter memory function, enabling rapid replacement of various sensors without complex recalibration.
