HESON HS-3001D-S Universal Tensile Testing Machine for Metallic Wires and Packaging Materials

Overview

The HESON HS-3001D-S is a precision-engineered universal tensile testing machine designed for rigorous mechanical characterization of metallic wires, packaging substrates (including corrugated board, laminated films, and coated paperboard), and composite materials used in regulated industrial environments. It operates on the fundamental principle of uniaxial force application under controlled displacement or load-rate conditions, adhering to standardized test methodologies defined in ASTM E8/E8M (tension testing of metallic materials), ISO 6892-1 (metallic tensile testing at ambient temperature), ASTM D882 (thin plastic sheeting), and ISO 1209-1 (rigidity of rigid plastics). The system integrates a high-stiffness dual-column frame, precision-ground kinematic components, and closed-loop digital servo control to ensure traceable, repeatable, and metrologically sound data acquisition across full-scale loading ranges.

Key Features

• 10 kN load cell calibrated to NIST-traceable standards, sourced from Transcell (USA), delivering high linearity and thermal stability over extended duty cycles.
• Panasonic AC servo motor and dedicated controller (Japan) enable smooth, low-noise actuation with exceptional torque consistency across the full speed range (0.001–500 mm/min).
• ABBA high-carbon lead screw (Taiwan) and Taekyung hardened chrome-plated guide rods (Korea) provide axial rigidity >1.2 × 10⁶ N/mm and positional repeatability ≤±0.01 mm per cycle.
• Integrated extensometer-ready deformation measurement system supports both contact and non-contact strain monitoring, with resolution of ±1/300,000 FS and verified accuracy within ±0.5% of reading per ISO 9513.
• Industrial-grade touchscreen HMI with real-time graphical feedback, configurable test profiles, and direct export to CSV/PDF formats; fully compatible with Windows-based laboratory PCs for advanced post-processing.
• Yidie multi-layer bellows dust protection encloses the lead screw assembly, significantly reducing particulate ingress and extending maintenance intervals beyond 15,000 operational hours.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The HS-3001D-S accommodates a broad spectrum of specimen geometries and mechanical behaviors — from fine-diameter metallic wires (Ø0.1–3.0 mm) to rigid paperboard specimens (up to 100 mm wide × 500 mm gage length) and multilayer packaging laminates. Its modular grip system supports wedge-action, pneumatic, and custom hydraulic fixtures compliant with ASTM D3330 (adhesive peel), ASTM D1876 (T-peel), and ISO 11339 (bond strength of flexible packaging). All hardware and firmware comply with CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and electromagnetic compatibility standards EN 61326-1. Data integrity meets GLP/GMP requirements through audit-trail-enabled software logging, user-access controls, and electronic signature support — fully aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 principles when deployed with validated configurations.

Software & Data Management

The bundled bilingual (English/Chinese) testing software provides ISO 17025-aligned test sequence definition, real-time stress–strain curve rendering, automatic yield point detection (0.2% offset method), and modulus calculation per ASTM D790 and ISO 527-2. Raw data files include timestamped metadata (operator ID, calibration certificate ID, environmental conditions), ensuring full traceability. Export functions support direct integration into LIMS platforms via ODBC drivers and generate PDF reports containing statistical summaries (mean, SD, CV%), pass/fail flags against preset limits, and annotated graphs with ASTM/ISO-compliant labeling. Firmware and software updates are provided free-of-charge for the lifetime of the instrument, including protocol additions for emerging standards such as ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Annex A2.

Applications

• Mechanical validation of cold-drawn copper, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy wires used in electrical connectors and medical device components.
• Quality control of folding carton board stiffness, crush resistance, and surface smoothness correlation per TAPPI T536 and ISO 8791-2.
• Adhesion strength assessment of extrusion-coated PE/paper composites and metallized PET laminates in food packaging.
• R&D evaluation of biodegradable polymer films (PLA, PHA) under variable humidity and temperature preconditioning.
• Verification of weld integrity and joint strength in wire harness assemblies per IPC-J-STD-001.

FAQ

Does the HS-3001D-S meet international calibration and traceability requirements?
Yes — all force transducers are supplied with NIST-traceable calibration certificates, and the system supports periodic verification per ISO/IEC 17025 using certified reference standards.
Can the machine perform tests compliant with ASTM D882 and ISO 1183?
Yes — preconfigured test methods for thin plastic films (ASTM D882) and density determination (ISO 1183) are included in the software library, with adjustable dwell times, ramp rates, and failure criteria.
Is remote diagnostics and software update support available?
Yes — the embedded Ethernet interface enables secure remote access for firmware diagnostics, parameter tuning, and version-controlled software upgrades without onsite technician intervention.
What is the expected service life under continuous QC lab operation?
Based on field data from long-term installations (e.g., Shenzhen Xidesheng’s 2006 unit still operational), mean time between failures exceeds 12,000 hours with scheduled preventive maintenance every 1,500 operating hours.
Are third-party validation documents (IQ/OQ/PQ protocols) available?
Yes — HESON provides customizable qualification templates compliant with GMP Annex 15 and USP <1059>, including equipment-specific acceptance criteria, test scripts, and blank execution records.
