Reinforcing steel is produced in large amounts and must be continually
tested for production control. Zwick has developed automated systems
in which specimens, cut to length from rod material or separated from
mats and lattices, are loaded manually into magazines, after which they are tested completely automatically. Artificial ageing at 100 °C can also be integrated into this type of testing system. Cross-sections are measured in accordance with standards and with high accuracy and specimens can be optionally sorted according to test result for later visual inspection.

• Customized total solutions
