Understanding High-Temperature Creep Testing Machine Ecosystem
Similar to hydraulic universal and fatigue testing equipment, Electronic Creep Testing Machines consist of two core modules: high-rigidity main load frame and high-precision full-digital measurement & control system.
KASON RCWcreep testing machineis an integrated high-performance creep test system rather than discrete components. It combines portal high-rigidity host frame, Delta full-digital AC servo drive, imported CELTRON spoke Load Cell, grating ruler deformation measuring unit and multi-language intelligent creep software, to guarantee consistent, repeatable and traceable long-time high-temperature test data.

Mechanical Structure & Core Stability Advantages
1. Portal double-upright high-rigidity frame: upper beam and workbench connected by two thick vertical columns, no frame deformation under long-term full-load tension; gapless ball screw + synchronous belt deceleration transmission, fast response and smooth loading without impact.
2. Dual automatic centering spherical ball seats for upper & lower pull rods: effectively control fixture concentricity ≤10%, eliminate lateral force interference, ensure specimens only bear pure axial tension.
3. Multi-layer interlock safety limit: travel limit switches for moving crosshead, over-temperature, over-deformation and overload interlock protection, avoiding equipment damage caused by abnormal parameters.
4. Split rotating-arm high-temperature furnace: furnace body mounted on machine columns via rotating support arms, furnace can be opened horizontally for fast specimen loading & unloading, improving test efficiency greatly.
5. Double-layer stainless steel furnace shell + ceramic fiber thermal insulation: upper & lower ventilation heat dissipation holes, average furnace surface temperature controlled below 60℃, safe long-term operation.
Intelligent Full Digital Measurement & Control System
The system integrates force sensor, grating deformation Extensometer, servo drive and temperature controller to build full closed-loop digital control platform, with prominent advantages as below:
1. Ultra-high sampling frequency: 100 times/s data collection, 24-bit high-resolution signal acquisition, force & deformation resolution unchanged across full measurement range, support one-key auto-zero and auto-calibration.
2. Multi-closed-loop switching: seamless switching of constant load rate, constant deformation rate, constant displacement speed control without test impact.
3. Distributed DCS centralized control architecture: multiple creep testers connected to one main control computer via network; lower machine controller can independently complete full test flow, store all test data offline, automatically synchronize data after computer reconnection.
4. Independent temperature linkage control: controller communicates bidirectionally with temperature instrument, auto heat up & hold according to test recipe, fully unmanned temperature adjustment without manual intervention.
5. Rich safety alarm logic: emergency stop button on machine side, software interlock alarms including temperature over-limit, deformation over-range, travel limit, thermocouple break; support local sound-light alarm + remote SMS abnormal notification.
