Atec Bose-ElectroForce_3200_SeriesIII - Manual

Bose ® test instruments incorporate proprietary linear motion technologies and
WinTest ® controls to provide a revolutionary approach to dynamic mechanical
testing. The Bose 3200 Series III family of tests instruments offers new and
improved features, providing unparalleled performance and versatility for
challenging applications requiring low amplitude testing accuracy.
The 3200 Series III test instrument may be configured for 225 N or optionally,
450 N maximum force capacity. The system has a wide bandwidth, capable
of performing tests from static conditions to cyclic tests up to 300 Hz and
200 Hz for DMA
.
The Bose
High Accuracy
Displacement
Sensor is the
first use in the
material testing industry of a
new technology that provides
displacement resolution of a
nanometer and accuracies in
the range of microns.
ElectroForce ® 3200 Series III Axial Configuration
The design of new materials and products requires
a thorough assessment of material properties and
complete performance evaluation within the
intended end-use service environment. A variety
of basic and advanced testing techniques are
available in the 3200 to meet this need.
• Tension/Compression
• Bending
• Stress Relaxation
• Torsion
• Creep
• Shear
• Pulsatile
Applications
Low amplitude testing accuracy is a
growing need for research and product
development applications such as:
• Biomaterials
• Medical devices and components
• Compliant biological tissues
• Small components
• Microelectronics
• Polymers and elastomers
• Films, foils and fibers
• Foods and fluids (rheology)
