Yuelian YL-1150 10-Ton Floor-Standing Universal Testing Machine

Overview

The Yuelian YL-1150 is a floor-standing, electromechanical universal testing machine engineered for high-fidelity tensile, compression, flexural, and shear testing of metallic, polymeric, composite, and elastomeric materials. It operates on the principle of controlled displacement actuation via a precision-ground ball screw driven by a high-torque, low-inertia AC servo motor—ensuring minimal mechanical hysteresis and exceptional force-trace linearity across its full 100 kN (10-ton) load range. The machine’s monolithic cast-iron base and dual vertical guide columns provide structural rigidity exceeding 120 kN/mm axial stiffness, effectively suppressing frame deflection during high-load testing and enabling reproducible measurements per ISO 7500-1 Class 1 accuracy requirements. Designed for integration into QC laboratories, R&D centers, and third-party certification facilities, the YL-1150 delivers stable, low-noise operation without requiring dedicated power conditioning or compressed air—making it suitable for standard industrial electrical infrastructure.

Key Features

• Robust floor-standing architecture with vibration-damped cast-iron base and hardened steel guide columns for long-term dimensional stability
• High-efficiency AC servo drive system delivering smooth, jerk-free crosshead motion with position resolution of 0.1 µm and speed range from 0.001 to 500 mm/min
• Digital closed-loop control with real-time PID tuning, supporting both load-controlled and displacement-controlled test modes
• Modular load cell interface accommodating interchangeable transducers (e.g., 1 kN, 5 kN, 25 kN, 100 kN) with automatic calibration recognition
• Integrated safety interlocks including emergency stop circuitry, overload cut-off, and mechanical limit switches compliant with ISO 13850
• Tool-less grip change mechanism compatible with wedge-action, pneumatic, and hydraulic fixtures (sold separately)

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The YL-1150 accommodates specimens up to 1,200 mm in height and 450 mm in gauge width, supporting standardized test geometries per ASTM E8 (tensile bars), ASTM D638 (plastic tensile), ISO 527-2 (polymer strips), and GB/T 228.1 (metallic materials). Its load frame geometry allows direct mounting of extensometers—including clip-on, video, and laser types—for strain measurement traceable to ISO 9513 Class 1. All hardware and firmware comply with electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 61326-1), while mechanical design adheres to ISO 7500-1 for static calibration and ISO 5893 for dynamic performance verification. For regulated environments, optional audit trail logging and user access controls support GLP/GMP documentation workflows aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 principles.

Software & Data Management

The system ships with Yuelian TestSuite v3.2—a Windows-based application supporting multi-channel data acquisition at up to 1 kHz sampling rate. It provides preconfigured test methods for yield strength, modulus, elongation at break, proof loading, and cyclic fatigue (with step-loading protocols). Raw data exports to CSV, XML, and PDF formats include metadata such as operator ID, timestamp, environmental conditions (if external sensors are connected), and calibration certificate references. Optional modules enable automated report generation compliant with ASTM E2921 templates and secure database archiving via ODBC connectivity to LIMS platforms.

Applications

• Mechanical validation of structural alloys, fasteners, and weld joints in aerospace and automotive supply chains
• Quality conformance testing of extruded profiles, rolled sheet metal, and forged components per ISO 1099 and EN 10002
• R&D characterization of thermoplastic elastomers, fiber-reinforced composites, and biomedical polymers under ambient and elevated temperature conditions (when paired with environmental chamber)
• Proof testing of safety-critical components including lifting slings, anchor bolts, and medical device housings
• Educational use in university materials science labs for hands-on instruction in stress–strain behavior and fracture mechanics fundamentals

FAQ
