HAIDA HD-A513-C Computer-Controlled Multi-Function Servo-Powered Tensile & Compression Tester

Overview

The HAIDA HD-A513-C is a computer-controlled, servo-powered universal testing system engineered for high-precision mechanical characterization of packaging materials, polymers, composites, paperboard, adhesives, textiles, and non-metallic structural components. It operates on the fundamental principle of controlled displacement actuation via a precision ball screw mechanism, driven by a 400 W servo motor and matched drive system. Force is measured in real time using high-stability load cells calibrated to meet ISO 7500-1 Class 1 requirements, enabling compliant tensile, compression, flexural, peel, puncture, burst, and shear testing across a wide dynamic range (1 N to 5 kN). Designed specifically for the packaging industry—yet equally applicable in QC labs for medical devices, wire & cable, and construction materials—the HD-A513-C delivers traceable, repeatable results under standardized test conditions aligned with ASTM, ISO, TAPPI, JIS, and GB regulatory frameworks.

Key Features

• Dual-column rigid frame architecture with preloaded ball screw transmission ensures minimal deflection and exceptional axial alignment during high-load testing.
• Class 1 force measurement system (per ISO 7500-1), delivering ≤ ±0.5% full-scale accuracy and 1/250,000 internal resolution for reliable low-force detection and high-end capacity integrity.
• Multi-mode closed-loop control: supports constant rate of extension (CRE), constant rate of loading (CRL), constant strain rate, constant stress rate, and displacement-controlled hold protocols—all programmable and switchable within a single test sequence.
• Integrated hardware safety interlocks including mechanical travel limit switches, electronic overload cutoff, and emergency stop circuitry compliant with IEC 60204-1.
• Standard USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces enable seamless data logging, remote monitoring, and integration into enterprise LIMS or MES environments.
• Modular fixture interface supports rapid tooling changes for RCT, ECT, FCT, CMT, PAT, CCT, and custom geometries—including pneumatic, wedge, and roller-type grips for variable specimen thickness and surface characteristics.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The HD-A513-C accommodates specimens up to 420 mm wide and 600 mm active travel height, making it suitable for corrugated board panels, laminated films, blister packs, adhesive tapes, geotextiles, and orthopedic implant packaging. Its validated test configurations align with over 40 international standards, including ASTM D642 (compression), D882 (thin film tensile), D3330 (peel), ISO 12048 (ECT), ISO 3037 (RCT), TAPPI T811 (edge crush), T804 (ring crush), EN ISO 7263 (CMT), and GB/T 2679 series for paper and board mechanics. For regulated environments, the system supports audit-ready data integrity through optional 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software modules, including electronic signatures, user-level access control, and immutable audit trails for GLP/GMP-aligned laboratories.

Software & Data Management

The proprietary HAIDA TestSuite™ software runs natively on Windows OS and provides intuitive test method setup, real-time curve visualization (stress–strain, force–displacement, load–time), automatic peak detection, modulus calculation (secant, tangent, chord), and statistical reporting per ISO 5725. Raw data exports directly to Excel-compatible .csv or native .xlsx formats; graphical outputs are exportable as SVG, PNG, or PDF. Batch analysis tools allow side-by-side comparison of up to 16 test groups with overlay plotting, coefficient-of-variation (CV) metrics, and pass/fail threshold mapping against specification limits. All data files include embedded metadata: operator ID, timestamp, environmental conditions (if connected to optional hygrothermograph), calibration certificate ID, and instrument firmware version.

Applications

• Packaging validation: Edge crush (ECT), ring crush (RCT), flat crush (FCT/CMT), vertical crush (CCT), and adhesive bond strength (PAT) per TAPPI and ISO standards.
• Film & foil characterization: Tensile strength, elongation at break, yield point, puncture resistance (ASTM D3763), and seal integrity (ASTM F88).
• Medical device packaging: Peel strength of sterile barrier systems (ISO 8559), burst testing of pouches (ASTM F1140), and opening force assessment (ISO 11607-2).
• Composite & polymer QA: Flexural modulus (ASTM D790), compressive yield (ASTM D695), and tear propagation resistance (ASTM D1004).
• Construction material screening: Bond strength of laminated wood products (GB/T 17657), concrete repair mortar adhesion (GB/T 25181), and geosynthetic tensile performance (GB/T 17639).

FAQ
