Easydur 3MZB: the 100% Made in Italy solution for comprehensive multi-material mechanical testing
Quality control and material characterization serve as fundamental strategic levers in today’s industrial landscape, therefore investing in state-of-the-art measuring instrumentation is an absolute necessity. Easydur, a historic brand representing Italian manufacturing excellence in hardness testers, tensile, and compression testing machines, introduces the 3MZB model, the definitive solution for laboratories and production departments in the metallurgical and manufacturing sectors.
Designed for maximum versatility, absolute precision, and uncompromised operator safety, the 3MZB stands as the ideal universal testing machine for comprehensive, 360-degree mechanical testing within a single compact and efficient system.
Performance and operational versatility: tensile, compression, and all axial testing
With a maximum load capacity of 50 kN, the 3MZB adapts to a broad range of industrial applications by combining a robust mechanical structure with unparalleled modularity.
Multi-Material tensile testing
The machine performs tensile tests on an extensive variety of materials, semi-finished products, and finished components typical of metallurgy and materials engineering, including:
- Structural and high-strength steels (machined specimens, bars, wires)
- Aluminum and copper alloys
- Automotive components and fasteners (bolts, tie rods, pins)
- Welds and metallic joints
- Tubes, profiles, and extruded elements
This extraordinary versatility is supported by wide compatibility with dedicated clamping systems:
- Pneumatic or Hydraulic Grips: ensures appropriate clamping force and prevents sample slippage during testing;
- Interchangeable Jaws: engineered specifically for flat specimens or round samples, covering a wide range of diameters and geometries.
Compression testing on springs and components
Beyond tensile testing, the Easydur 3MZB excels in compression testing, particularly in the quality control and characterization of various spring types (helical – both compression and tension, disc/Belleville, conical, custom-shaped or for specific applications such as springs for valves). Precise measurement of force and displacement guarantees accurate determination of operating loads, stiffness, and characteristic performance curves.
Comprehensive Axial Testing Capability
Thanks to the modular concept of Easydur's architecture, equipping the 3MZB with optional accessories enables a wide array of axial tests:
- 3-point and 4-point bending tests;
- Puncturing and penetration tests;
- Peel and adhesion tests.
Multi-Load cell architecture and smart accessory changeover
The primary strength of the Easydur 3MZB lies in its ability to adapt instantly to dynamic laboratory requirements. Transitions between different testing fixtures are fast and ergonomic:
- Rapid manual accessory swap: switch from a tensile setup to a compression setup in just a few minutes;
- Side-by-side load cells: the machine allows simultaneous installation of multiple load cells with different full-scale capacities. This configuration ensures exceptional accuracy at both low and high force ranges without requiring continuous disassembly.
Precision metrology and advanced electronics
Metrological precision is at the core of the 3MZB, designed to meet strict international standards:
- High test resolution: up to 200,000 divisions, guaranteeing extraordinary sensitivity even with minimal load increments;
- Sampling rate up to 1 khz: enables high-speed dynamic real-time data acquisition, ideal for capturing sudden yield points, brittle fractures, or complex behaviors;
- Fully adjustable test speed: smooth and constant crosshead control to perform tests under controlled strain or load rates.
For strain measurement, the machine can be equipped with:
- Manual clip-on extensometers: practical and effective for standard testing;
- Automatic mechanical extensometers: designed for high-throughput testing in production lines or QA labs;
- Non-contact video extensometers: the top-tier, versatile solution, perfect for both delicate materials, requiring analysis without mechanical interference on the sample, as well as for heavy-duty applications, where tensile tests up to sample fracture could damage traditional mechanical extensometers.
User interface, control, and operational safety
The Easydur 3MZB integrates an industrial-grade control station designed to streamline daily operations:
- Integrated industrial PC: powered by Windows 11, ensuring system stability, and seamless network connectivity for Industry 4.0 data export;
- Touchscreen panel & wired remote: intuitive machine-side control, paired with a remote, handset for fine-positioning, rapid crosshead movement and grips control;
- Multilingual testing software: clear, customizable graphic interface featuring automated test routines, computation of key mechanical parameters, and exportable reports in standard formats;
- Complete operator safety: front safety enclosure built with robust aluminum profiles and transparent Lexan, fitted with a safety microswitch that immediately arrests the test cycle if opened during operation.
