Analogue Erichsen Cupping Machine
Analogue Erichsen cupping machine is a mechanical testing machine used to measure the formability and ductility of sheet metal. It is specifically designed to perform the Erichsen cupping test, which measures the ability of a metal sheet to withstand deformation without cracking.
The machine consists of a hydraulic ram that is used to punch a hemispherical dome into a metal sheet. The depth of the cup is measured using a micrometer and is an indication of the ductility and formability of the metal. The analogue Its operates on a purely mechanical basis and does not require any electrical or electronic components. It is easy to operate and does not require extensive training or technical knowledge.
One of the advantages of the cupping machine is its simplicity and robustness. It is a reliable and durable machine that can perform tests on a wide range of metal sheets, making it an essential tool for metalworking industries. However, the analogue Erichsen cupping machine has some limitations. It is a manual machine, which means that it requires a skilled operator to perform tests accurately. It also lacks the automation and data processing capabilities of modern digital testing machines, which can limit its usefulness in certain applications.
