Tender Details

Eine Universalprüfmaschine für Zug- und Druckbelastungstests mit Einbau von zwei zusätzlichen Aktuatoren (1 Stück)
The Department of Steel and Composite Structures at ETH Zurich is planning to procure a new universal testing machine for the construction hall at the Hönggerberg site. The equipment is intended to test large-scale components under realistic static and dynamic loads, thereby supporting future research in steel, composite and earthquake engineering. The main applications include “centric and eccentric compression tests […] with the optional ability to apply tensile forces”. The project is being led by Dominik Werne, Head of the Construction Hall. The machine must provide a spacious test chamber capable of accommodating test specimens up to “B: 1500 mm, H: 1500 mm, L: 5000 mm”. Clamping heights ranging from 500 to 5000 mm allow for both compression and tensile tests. The test chamber must be fully visible to enable the use of optical measurement systems such as DIC. The hydraulic system comprises a vertical cylinder with “10 MN compressive load, 6 MN tensile load and 400 mm cylinder stroke”, as well as two horizontal cylinders, each with “1 MN compressive/tensile load and 500 mm cylinder stroke”. The system must be capable of dynamic tests up to 10 Hz and speeds of up to 250 mm/s. Precise control with a sampling rate of at least 5 kHz, accuracy class 1/0.5 and modern digital interfaces (e.g. EtherCAT) is required to support force- and strain-controlled tests as...
