METROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A FATIGUE TEST MACHINE FOR TESTING IMPLANTOLOGICAL AND PROSTHETIC MATERIALS FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

A fatigue test equipment is presented for the mechanical characterization of dental implantological and prosthetic materials. An automated control system, based on the digital processing of the feedback signals coming from field sensors, is proposed, in order to perform long-period, non-observed tests in a secure way. The metrological characterization of the realized equipment is discussed and an automatic compensation of the mechanical errors is proposed.
