Featuring the industry’s highest fatigue rating for side-loading wedge grips, new MTS 647.200 High-Force Hydraulic Wedge Grips enable easy specimen insertion and excellent test repeatability, eliminating the need to drill holes in specimens and secure them with bolts. MTS 647.200 grips also maximize available test space, allowing you to glean more accurate insight into material and component performance by testing larger specimens. |
  As Airbus, Boeing, GE and other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the aerospace industry make it mandatory for material suppliers to pass cooperative Nadcap audits, tier suppliers are compelled to produce evidence of compliance to physical test standards and methodologies required by OEMs. In turn, a heightened focus has been placed on the maintainability and repeatability of material test machines to remain tightly aligned within specified tolerances. Jim Hennen, MTS product manager for aftermarket services, discusses why precision-engineered load frames and grip assemblies are essential to ensuring compliance with the industry standards for materials testing.  |
