Design of the Tensile Testing Machine Computer Control System Based on MCGS

In order to solve the problems caused by using traditional materials in the experiments, such as complicated operation process, poor control, low testing accuracy, inconvenience of recording test data, lack of timely data processing and so on, the control of the tensile test must be improved. This paper in details analyzes the operational principle of the tensile test machine, on which a tensile test machine control program is proposed based on MCGS. By selecting the appropriate sensor and using PCI_1716 data acquisition card, a tensile testing machine control system's hardware platform is founded. The control system software based on MCGS, can monitor the process of tensile testing, display and record real-time testing data. Practice has proved that the tensile testing machine control system has many advantages of high accuracy, good real-time, stability, easy operation etc, which can meet the needs of practical applications.
