Examples of use:

• Determination of material properties in tensile tests
• Contactless measurement of sample deformation/strain
• The measured values are used, for example, to calculate force-elongation curves or force-voltage curves to determine the modulus of elasticity and the number of transverse contractions.

Device configuration:

• Non-contact measurement of longitudinal and lateral strain for material testing in tensile and compression tests
• Use of the system for flat or round samples with image fields of approx. 10mm to 1m
• Use of the system with image fields up to 5m for rope testing
• Measurement of strains from 0.0005% to 1000%
• The RTSS (Real Time Strain Sensor) can be integrated into the testing machine as a strain sensor via various interfaces and thus operates fully automatically.
• Offline evaluation modules are available for the determination of surface strain and crack lengths (e.g. for fatigue tests).
