ERICHSEN universal sheet testing machine

The universal sheet metal testing machine from ERICHSEN GmbH & Co. KG is used to test sheet metal materials. It can be used, among other things, to record forming limit curves according to DIN EN ISO 12004 for strain-based damage prediction. The ARAMIS measuring system from GOM GmbH is used for optical strain measurement. In addition to the standardised Nakajima and Marciniak tests, other tests such as the Erichsen test, earing test or hole expansion can be carried out.
