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 technical boundaries to achieve better fuel efficiency and meet environmental requirements. That’s why companies turn to ZR for material and component testing machines. Together with the industry in general, but also…

In the automotive industry, computer-based simulations are used, which must be supplemented with real-world testing. Material data is required to calculate strength, stiffness, and service life as input parameters for the simulation programs. The computational models should be calibrated early on using actual test data. Testing is an essential part of automotive development. We have testing equipment for strength calculations and data to support dimensional design and material selection, such as tensile testers, impact testers, test rigs, and…

Inspection involves, among other things, testing and measuring various characteristics of an object or activity. The results are often compared with various requirements and standards to determine whether the object meets them or not. Here at ZRs, we offer precise tools from Ardrox and Chemetall for crack detection using penetrant testing…

Composites are man-made and consist of different materials that together form a structural material—something humans have been using for a long time, such as to build huts out of clay. Composites can also include reinforced concrete. With our machines, you can easily measure tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, and hardness—simple tests that reveal a great deal about the material’s…

Texture analyses of food products are conducted under conditions that mimic the stresses these products experience in everyday life. The advantage is that they eliminate all aspects of subjectivity. Advantages of instrumental testing for food products include the ability to evaluate important criteria such as freshness and crispness. The test results are reproducible and can be interpreted in a graph…

Paper, a thin material, is manufactured by dewatering a fiber suspension. This fiber suspension is called paper 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 feature a modular design, which means they can be used accurately and cost-effectively for many different types…

The material is made from textile fibers. It can be processed in various ways and therefore has many applications. Textiles are used for clothing and interior design, surgical procedures, agriculture, and more, as well as for straps and ropes, such as seat belts or climbing ropes. To ensure safety, thorough physical testing of the textile is required. The simplest way to do this is through tensile testing. ZRs has the ideal testing machines and…
