Fully-Automated Plastic 3-Point Bend/Flexural Testing Machine | Bendograph™ | 509-B-2

Fully-Automated Plastic 3-Point Bend/Flexural Testing Machine | Bendograph™ | 509-B-2

ISO 178, ASTM D790

The Bendograph is designed exclusively for the fully-automated flexural testing of plastics according to ISO 178 and ASTM D790.

 

After loading specimens into trays of the magazine, all operations, including dimensional measurement of specimens, bending measurement and data processing by software are all performed automatically without human intervention.

140 specimens (t=4mm) can be tested continuously.

 

The Bendograph’s compact design is good for laboratories that have limited space and would otherwise be unable to fit a similar testing machine.
