Why use the 3R robotic testing system?
In high-throughput industrial environments, time, consistency and testing reliability are key performance factors. To meet these challenges, 3R has designed a fully automated robotic testing system, capable of handling the entire tensile test cycle without human intervention.
Typical applications:
- Tensile testing on metallic or polymer specimens
- Quality control on large series in industrial environment
- Certified laboratories ISO 17025 or continuous production
- Integration into ERP, LIMS, internal database workflows
Customer benefits:
- 🤖 Complete automation without human intervention
- ⏱️ High and constant throughput, 24h/24
- 📏 Reliability of results: each step is measured and traced
- 🔒 Full traceability: reading, engraving, storage, result linked to each sample
- ✅ Fewer human errors, more safety, more repeatability
- 🧠 Less operator workload, more time for analysis
Robotic testing system operation
A complete test sequence, without interruption
Combined with a 3R hydraulic testing machine, the robotic arm operates autonomously and executes a rigorous cycle:
- Specimen retrieval from the integrated magazine
- Automatic measurement of thickness, then width
- Intelligent positioning in front of the reading module
- Code reading (barcode, QR, Datamatrix) and laser engraving of the unique identifier
- Automatic loading of the specimen into the testing machine
- Controlled tensile test to failure, according to your standard parameters
- Automated unloading of the specimen and recording of results
Each movement is synchronized with the machine control software and the data acquisition system.
