Brillant 220 automatic / manual metallographic saw Metalco
Contact: Ing. Zdeněk Chlup, Ph.D.
Brillant-220 is an universal precision saw designed for manual and automatic precision cutting of very small and larger specimens.
Screw driven testing machine ZWICK Z50
Contact: Ing. Zdeněk Balík
A universal testing system predominately used for quasi-static tensile, compressive, bending experiments of polymers, metals, ceramic and their composites at wide range of temperatures.
Universal test system INSTRON 8862 with electromechanical actuator
Contact: Ing. Zdeněk Chlup, Ph.D.
A universal testing system predominately used for bending and compressive experiments of ceramic and ceramic composites at room temperatures.
High temperature impulse excitation technique IMCE HT1600
Contact: Ing. Zdeněk Chlup, Ph.D.
The system allows obtaining temperature dependence of the elastic properties of the material by non-destructive impulse excitation method.
High temperature test system
Contact: Ing. Zdeněk Chlup, Ph.D.
A test system is designed for testing at temperatures up to 1600°C. Tests of metals, ceramics and composites can be performed in vacuum or under a protective argon atmosphere.
Instrumented impact tester Zwick/Roell B5113.303 (50 J)
Contact: Ing. Luděk Stratil, Ph.D.
Load measurement, different instrumented and non-instrumented pendulums from 0.5J up to 50J, dynamic tensile test adaptor. The fracture process can be monitored by high speed camera Olympus i-SPEED 3 with extreme low light sensitivity and up to 150,000 fps recoding.
Micro-testing machine MTS Tytron 250
Contact: Ing. Luděk Stratil, Ph.D.
Load cell up to ± 250 N, loading speed up to 0.5 m/s. Fixtures for tensile and three or four point bend test.
Screw driven testing machine ZWICK Z2.5 equipped with micro hardness head ZHU0.2 with optics
Contact: Ing. Hynek Hadraba, Ph.D.
