The MonTech FT 3000 C‑H is a high-end, direct linear drive fatigue tester of advanced design providing a full test which indicates material properties such flex cracking/crack growth test and tension fatigue test in accordance with: ISO 132, ISO 6943, ASTM D 430-B, ASTM D 813, ASTM D 4482, DIN 53 522 -1/2 /3.

The instrument is designed for continuous operation in compound / material research and development laboratories as well as industrial applications like in-process quality control in rubber plants requiring repetitive testing of rubber samples to assess dynamic material performance properties.

Especially due to the unique advanced linear motor design, optional arbitrary waveform programming and CCD camera data acquisition system, the machine can easily be set-up and adapted to individual customer testing needs.

Precisely controlled thermal environment

The sample holding system is located in a thermal chamber. This 120 liter heating and cooling chamber permits temperatures between -40 °C and +180°C, covering almost all possible application environments.

Due to the unique triple stage closed loop chiller and compressor design, a superior temperature uniformity of +/-1°C is achieved with no gases or external media required for the cooling process.

Highest accuracy, rigidity and durability – guaranteed!

The direct drive, linear motor drive system with digital control and inline position measurement ensures extremely precise movements, low levels of noise and vibration, high durability and long lifetime. The instrument is fitted with a massive, deflection free stainless steel sample holder system.

Optionally, samples can be inspected with a motorized camera CCD system for crack and crack–growth measurement – this system also includes the MonFT data acquisition software.
