JB-117B Jinbin Electronic Universal Testing Machine

Overview

The JB-117B Jinbin Electronic Universal Testing Machine is a precision-engineered dual-column electromechanical system designed for static tensile, compression, bending, and peel testing of metallic wires, cables, and filamentary materials—including iron wire, stainless steel wire, galvanized wire rope, and braided cable assemblies. It operates on the principle of closed-loop servo-controlled load application, where a high-resolution load cell (typically ±0.5% FS accuracy per ISO 7500-1 Class 1) measures force while an optical encoder–based crosshead displacement system tracks extension with sub-micron resolution. The machine complies with fundamental mechanical testing standards including ASTM E4, ASTM E8/E8M (tensile testing of metallic materials), ISO 6892-1, and GB/T 228.1–2021, enabling traceable, repeatable mechanical property characterization in R&D labs, QC departments, and third-party certification facilities.

Key Features

• Dual-column rigid frame with preloaded ball screws and high-stiffness linear guides—engineered to minimize deflection under load and ensure axial alignment within ±0.02 mm over 500 mm travel.
• AC servo motor drive with digital PID control, delivering smooth, programmable crosshead speeds from 0.001 to 500 mm/min—fully adjustable in real time via software interface.
• Integrated load cell options ranging from 1 kN to 50 kN (standard configuration: 10 kN), calibrated per ISO/IEC 17025-accredited procedures; optional high-precision 100 N–5 kN low-force transducers available for fine-diameter wire testing.
• Automatic return-to-start and safety limit switches compliant with EN ISO 13857, preventing overtravel and ensuring operator protection during unattended test sequences.
• Modular grip system supporting wedge-action, pneumatic, and hydraulic clamping—compatible with flat, round, and threaded specimens up to Ø6 mm for iron wire and Ø12 mm for stranded wire rope.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The JB-117B accommodates standard wire specimens per ASTM A370 (round wire), ASTM A931 (steel strand), and ISO 15630-3 (reinforcing steels). It supports gauge lengths from 25 mm to 200 mm and accommodates specimen diameters from 0.1 mm (fine iron filaments) to 12 mm (multi-strand ropes). All test protocols are structured to meet GLP documentation requirements, with audit-ready test reports including raw load-displacement data, stress-strain curves, yield strength (Rp0.2), ultimate tensile strength (Rm), elongation at break (A%), and modulus of elasticity (E). System compliance extends to ISO/IEC 17025 calibration traceability, and optional 21 CFR Part 11–compliant software modules support FDA-regulated environments in pharmaceutical packaging or medical device component validation.

Software & Data Management

Equipped with Jinbin’s proprietary TestMaster v3.2 software (Windows 10/11 compatible), the JB-117B enables fully automated test sequencing, real-time curve overlay, multi-curve statistical comparison, and customizable report generation in PDF, Excel, and XML formats. Raw data files (.tdf) retain full timestamped metadata—including operator ID, environmental conditions (optional temperature/humidity input), calibration certificate IDs, and instrument firmware version. Audit trail functionality logs all user actions (test creation, parameter edits, result approvals) with immutable timestamps—supporting internal QA audits and external regulatory inspections. Exported datasets conform to ASTM E1434 and ISO 10360-6 data exchange conventions for interoperability with LIMS platforms.

Applications

• Tensile strength and ductility evaluation of cold-drawn iron wire used in mesh fencing, spring manufacturing, and automotive harness bundling.
• Breaking load and elongation assessment of galvanized steel wire rope per ISO 3154 and EN 12385-4 for construction hoisting and mining applications.
• Quality conformance testing of welded wire mesh per ASTM A185 and ASTM A497 in civil infrastructure projects.
• Process validation of annealing and drawing parameters in wire production lines—correlating mechanical output with thermal treatment profiles.
• Failure mode analysis of coated or polymer-sheathed wire under combined tension-bend loading (e.g., EV battery interconnects).

FAQ

What is the maximum test speed and minimum speed resolution?
The crosshead speed range is 0.001–500 mm/min, with speed resolution of 0.001 mm/min and repeatability better than ±0.2% of setpoint.
Does the system support automatic yield point detection per ISO 6892-1 Annex C?
Yes—TestMaster v3.2 implements non-proportional extension (ΔL) and offset methods (Rp0.2) with user-defined extensometer input or video-based strain tracking (optional add-on).
Can the JB-117B be integrated into a factory MES or SAP QA module?
Via OPC UA or RESTful API (available as optional software license), raw test results and pass/fail flags can be pushed directly to enterprise systems using standardized JSON/XML payloads.
Is third-party calibration certification included with delivery?
Each unit ships with a factory calibration certificate traceable to CNAS-accredited reference standards; full ISO/IEC 17025 calibration with uncertainty budget is available upon request.
What grip types are supplied as standard for iron wire testing?
Standard configuration includes self-tightening wedge grips with serrated jaws for Ø0.5–6 mm round wire; custom V-groove or thread-engaging fixtures can be ordered separately.
