LINOVIS® electro-dynamic testing system

Advanced Testing Laboratory – Precision Meets Versatility

Our testing laboratory at LKR is equipped with the state-of-the-art LINOVIS^® electro-dynamic testing system from 4a engineering, offering unparalleled flexibility for material and component characterization. Designed for static, dynamic, and cyclic testing, LINOVIS^® enables us to replicate real-world loading conditions with exceptional accuracy.

Key Features of LINOVIS^®

Force capacity: up to 25 kN, even in static mode
Three operating modes: static, dynamic, and cyclic
Fast changeover: modular test setups within minutes
Integrated DIC cameras: for full-field strain measurement
Oil-free linear drive & rigid frame: ensuring consistent and precise testing conditions

Wide Range of Applications

Our LINOVIS^® system supports a broad spectrum of tests, including:

High-fidelity material characterization
Mechanical testing of battery cells and stacks
Impact and crash-relevant component testing
Complex multi-axial and combined loading scenarios

Seamless Integration with VALIMAT^®

The VALIMAT^® software environment ensures an efficient workflow by combining test data and material models in a structured database. Automated communication between LINOVIS® and VALIMAT® enables:

Rapid material model generation for LS-DYNA®, PAM-CRASH®, Abaqus® (*MAT_024, *MAT_187, MMATER, *PLASTIC, etc.)
AutoFit process: fully automated parameter identification
Validation: from coupon-level FEM tests to custom geometries and load cases

With LINOVIS^® and VALIMAT^®, we provide cutting-edge testing solutions for the development of advanced material models and the validation of forming and crash simulations.
