Industrial Measurement


Automatica meets the vast demands encountered in the industry for electrical measurement of mechanical quantities to evaluate the properties of materials and components.


Threaded Fasteners Testing


In industrial application, a theaded fasterner is a fixing element undergoing external stress – including Torsion and Traction – which must be characterized in order to optimize the fastener : lower costs, enhanced performance, ensure safety.


Some basic characteristics such as yield limit, torque-tension relationship and friction coefficient, better define the physical limits of the fasteners when subjected to stress.

 

Solutions

 

In an increasingly competitive sector where market shares are difficult to win, Automatica provides several hardware and software solutions through its specific testing benchs.

 

Automatica manufactures and services materials testing machines for testing threaded fasteners in approaching more realistic conditions – eg. torsion-traction modes within a single frame.

 

Over the years, Automatica has built its reputation on its role as an expert in the characterization of threaded fasteners and has become a leader in this field.
