Overview
The Hengyi HY-0130TYU Dual-Axis Tensile Testing System is an electromechanical test platform engineered for precise biaxial mechanical characterization of thin-sheet materials under controlled static loading conditions. It operates on the principle of synchronized, independent actuation of two orthogonal linear axes (X and Y), enabling simultaneous application of tensile forces in two perpendicular directions—critical for evaluating anisotropic deformation behavior, yield surface mapping, and formability limits in advanced polymeric films, metallic foils, elastomeric sheets, and composite laminates. Unlike uniaxial testers, this system replicates real-world multiaxial stress states encountered during stamping, blow molding, or inflation processes. Its monolithic cast-iron “square-frame” architecture eliminates structural compliance and thermal drift, delivering sub-0.5% measurement uncertainty across full operational range—meeting ISO 7500-1 Class 0.5 verification requirements for force-measuring systems.
Key Features
- Monolithic cast-iron frame in closed-loop square geometry—designed to minimize frame deflection (<0.02 mm under maximum load), ensuring high dimensional stability and repeatability across repeated biaxial cycles.
- Dual servo-controlled linear actuators with integrated high-resolution encoders (1 µm position resolution) and calibrated load cells (1000 N capacity, 0.5-class accuracy per ISO 376).
- Full-range force resolution of ±500,000 digital counts without auto-ranging—enabling consistent sensitivity from 0.1% to 100% of full scale, critical for low-force pre-yield analysis and high-force rupture testing.
- Independent control of X- and Y-axis displacement, load, or strain rate—supporting coupled (proportional) or decoupled (asymmetric) biaxial protocols including cruciform, bulge, and planar tension modes.
- Programmable termination logic: tests automatically halt upon reaching user-defined thresholds for time, absolute displacement, engineering strain, or applied load—essential for GLP-compliant batch validation.
- Integrated safety subsystems: electronic end-of-travel limits, real-time overload detection (>110% FS), and hardware-enforced emergency stop—fully compliant with ISO 12100 and EN 60204-1 machinery safety standards.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The HY-0130TYU accommodates cruciform specimens up to 150 mm arm length and sheet samples up to 300 mm × 300 mm active area. Standard pneumatic, wedge-grip, and pin-loaded fixtures support ASTM D5035 (tensile properties of textiles), ISO 1421 (rubber-coated fabrics), and ISO 11843 (detection limits for thin films). Optional hydraulic clamping and environmental chambers (−40 °C to +150 °C) extend applicability to thermomechanical biaxial testing per ASTM D882 and ISO 527-3. All firmware and control algorithms are traceable to NIST-traceable calibration certificates, and data acquisition logs include full audit trails—facilitating FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance when paired with validated software configurations.
Software & Data Management
Bundled Hengyi TestMaster™ v4.x provides ISO/IEC 17025-aligned test method templates, real-time biaxial stress-strain contour plotting, and export to CSV, XML, and MDF4 formats. The software supports multi-step test sequences with conditional branching (e.g., switch from displacement control to load hold upon yield detection), automated calculation of biaxial modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and Hill’s anisotropy coefficients. Raw data streams include synchronized timestamps (±1 ms resolution), encoder pulses, and analog force channel outputs—enabling post-hoc reanalysis using MATLAB, Python, or commercial FEA preprocessors. Audit logs record operator ID, calibration history, parameter changes, and system diagnostics—retained for ≥10 years per internal QA policy.

FAQ
What types of biaxial test modes does the HY-0130TYU support?
It supports proportional (equal strain rate in both axes), non-proportional (independent rate control), and load-ratio-controlled biaxial tension, as well as uniaxial extension along either axis—configurable via TestMaster™ scripting.
Is the system compatible with third-party environmental chambers?
Yes—standardized flange interfaces (ISO-KF 40) and analog I/O ports enable integration with commercially available thermal, humidity, or vacuum chambers.
Can raw force-displacement data be exported for external analysis?
Yes—high-frequency streaming (up to 1 kHz) is supported; all channels are timestamped and exportable in ASCII, HDF5, or ASAM MDF4 format.
Does the system meet international metrological standards for calibration traceability?
All load cells are supplied with NIST-traceable calibration certificates valid for 12 months; frame stiffness verification follows ISO 7500-1 Annex B procedures.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for long-term accuracy retention?
Biannual verification of force transducers and encoder linearity is advised; annual recalibration of the entire system—including cross-axis orthogonality alignment—is required for ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs.
