Hole Drilling Equipment (MTS 3000) for Surface and Through Depth Residual Stress Measurement

Close up side view of hole drilling machine
The MTS 3000 is a hole drilling machine for residual stresses. The device features a drilling unit with speed up to 350000 RPM, ensuring that no stress is induced in the material due to drilling.  The hole drilling machine is easy to use without compromising control.  Users are able to easily manipulate the parameters of the test to their specific needs. The machine can be programmed to drill successive holes through the depth with desire increments. A standard strain rossett is attached to the sample prior to test to capture the strain released due to material removed by drilling. The test method is based on ASTM E837 standard.
