UMT TriboLab
UMT TriboLab
Bruker’s UMT TriboLab® platform builds on over 25 years of industry-leading Universal Mechanical Tester (UMT) technology to provide the most versatile and accurate testing capabilities on the market.
The system features a unique modular concept that delivers more functionality, higher speeds, more torque, and better force measurement than competing tribometers and testers, while introducing Bruker-exclusive advancements for improved efficiency and ease-of-use.
- Exceptional modularity - Accommodates the full range of speeds and torques to perform nearly every possible tribology test.
- Broadest capabilities - Enable an unprecedented breadth of testing under widest range of environments.
- Unmatched ease of use - Removes the need to learn complex scripting languages or conventions.
Modular Drives for Maximum Versatility
Quick changeover of drives using tool-less clamping allows the user to position the drive easily, then lock it into place in seconds. No cable connections are required for standard drives, and blind-mate connectors on the mounting ring automatically connect fans, sensors, and other electronics. Each hardware component includes a Tribo ID chip. Software interrogates the system, interprets the chip and “understands” the configuration without operator-entered commands.
High-Load, High-Performance Sensors
The UMT TriboLab excels at producing highly accurate and repeatable test data by utilizing the latest developments in sensor technology from Bruker. These new “Gold Series” sensors offer noise levels at an industry-leading 0.02% of full scale values, with circuitry completely redesigned to reduce noise to an absolute minimum. The range of sensors also has been extended to eleven sensors, spanning forces from 1 milliNewton up to 2 kiloNewtons.
Industry-Specific Solutions for Specialized Performance
Bruker has utilized the versatility and modular architecture of the TriboLab platform to create turn-key kits for specific applications and industries. In addition to tailored hardware components, these modules feature software developed in conjunction with industry-leading manufacturers to address targeted standards. Bruker’s industry-specific solutions include:
- Brake Material Screening
