We work with most industries

The element metal has several metallic properties such as high conductivity of heat and electricity. Other good properties of metal are that it is easy to shape. With our machines, you can use simple and reliable tests to find out a lot of facts about the properties of the metal, such as tensile strength, impact strength, bending and hardness. With the Zwick test system...

Biomechanics is the study of various mechanical problems, mainly involving the human body. It can be used for containers for fluids and catheters, medical textiles, prostheses, implants and much more. With our machines, you can find out a lot about a material's properties, such as tensile strength, impact resistance, bending, torsion, fatigue and hardness, through simple tests. With automated testing systems, you can...

The electrification of the automotive and other sectors is driven by the rapid development of lithium-ion batteries. To ensure high quality, safety and performance, advanced mechanical testing of battery cells, battery modules and the frames in which the batteries are mounted is required. ZRS offers testing equipment and solutions for manufacturers of batteries, battery components and battery frame structures. Our systems make it possible to perform accurate...

Springs are one of the most important design elements we have today, their elastic properties are exploited for energy storage and conversion. The most important functions are measuring and controlling forces and moments, distributing and balancing forces, preloading, maintaining a defined position, and absorbing shocks and vibrations. Due to rapid technological development of springs...

Plastic is the collective name for a large group of synthetic and semi-synthetic materials. There are many types with different uses. Today, plastics are used for everything from medical technology to packaging. It is a necessary and irreplaceable material in today's society. With our machines, you can measure tensile strength, impact strength, bending and hardness, which are simple tests...

The development of new products is important. The modern development of society requires materials with new and improved properties. Development starts in education at universities, colleges and institutes. ZR's optimized hardware solutions, powerful and flexible software and virtual software are specially developed for teaching. Therefore, ZR can offer solutions for lower as well as higher education. ZR's...

With few exceptions, no industry focuses as much on quality and safety as the aviation industry. Dramatic improvements in aircraft design, including materials and components, are pushing technological boundaries to achieve better fuel efficiency and environmental requirements. That's why companies are turning to ZR for materials and component testing machines. Together with the industry in general but also...

In the automotive industry, computer-based simulations are used and must be accompanied by real samples. Material data are required for the calculation of strength, stiffness and durability as parameters for the simulation programs. The computational models should be calibrated early with real test data. Testing is a necessary element in vehicle development. We have test equipment for strength calculations and basis for dimensioning as well as material selection such as tensile testers, impact testers, test rigs and...

Inspection includes tests and measurements of various characteristics of an object or activity. The results are often compared to various requirements and standards that are desired to determine whether the object is in line with these or not. Here at ZRs we offer accurate tools from Ardrox and Chemetall for crack indication using penetrant...

Composites are man-made and consist of different materials that together form construction materials, which have been used by humans for a long time, for example to build mud huts. Composites can also be reinforced concrete. Using our machines, you can easily measure tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength and hardness, which are simple tests that tell you a lot about the material's...

Consistency analyses on food products are made up with stresses that also happen to the products in everyday life. The advantage is that they remove all aspects of subjectivity. The advantages of instrumental testing for food products include the ability to test important criteria such as freshness and crispiness. The results of the tests are reproducible and can be interpreted in a graph

The thin material paper is made by dewatering a suspension of fibers. This suspension of fiber is called pulp. Paper is used in everything from the graphic arts industry to the packaging industry. With our machines you can measure many aspects of paper properties. Zwick's machines are modular, which means that the machine can be used correctly and cost-effectively for many different types of...

The material is made from textile fibers. It can be altered at several stages and therefore has many uses. Textiles are used for clothing and furnishings, operations, agriculture and more, but also straps and ropes, such as car belts or climbing ropes. To ensure safety, careful physical tests are required on the textile. These are most easily done by tensile testing. ZRs has the ideal testing machines and...
