MOR TESTING MACHINE AZA1265
High-Precision Flexural Strength Testing System for Ceramic Tiles
The AZA1265 MOR Testing Machine is a heavy-duty, high-accuracy testing system engineered to determine the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) of ceramic tiles in strict accordance with ISO 10545-6. MOR testing is a critical quality parameter used to evaluate the bending strength and mechanical reliability of ceramic tiles when subjected to flexural loads.
Designed for continuous industrial use, the AZA1265 delivers precise, repeatable, and traceable test results, making it an indispensable tool for ceramic tile manufacturers, construction material laboratories, inspection agencies, and research institutions.
Description
Purpose of MOR Testing
The Modulus of Rupture test measures the maximum stress a ceramic tile can withstand before failure when loaded in bending. This test provides direct insight into:
-
Structural integrity of ceramic tiles
-
Load-bearing performance under service conditions
-
Manufacturing consistency and quality control
-
Compliance with national and international standards
-
Suitability of tiles for flooring and wall applications
The AZA1265 is purpose-built to perform this test accurately and reliably, even for large-format tiles.
Robust Mechanical Design
The AZA1265 features a rigid, heavy-duty steel frame designed to eliminate vibration and deflection during testing. The precision-aligned support rollers and loading nose ensure uniform force application across the tile surface.
Key mechanical features include:
-
High-strength welded frame construction
-
Precisely machined support and loading rollers
-
Adjustable span length to accommodate different tile sizes
-
Stable base for floor-mounted or bench-top installation
This construction ensures long-term dimensional stability and consistent test performance even under repeated high-load conditions.
High Load Capacity & Force Control
The testing system is available in two force capacity configurations:
-
500 KGF
-
1000 KGF
These options allow users to select the appropriate capacity based on tile thickness, size, and strength class. The controlled force application mechanism ensures smooth, gradual load increase, preventing shock loading and ensuring accurate determination of breaking strength and MOR values.
Wide Tile Size Compatibility
The AZA1265 is designed to test both standard and large-format ceramic tiles commonly used in modern construction projects. The adjustable support system allows quick configuration for different tile dimensions without complex tooling.
Supported Tile Sizes
-
300 × 300 mm
-
600 × 600 mm
-
800 × 1200 mm
-
1000 × 1000 mm
-
1200 × 1200 mm
This versatility makes the AZA1265 suitable for both traditional ceramic tiles and large slab formats.
User-Friendly Operation
Despite its industrial-grade construction, the AZA1265 is designed for simple and intuitive operation. Operators can quickly position the tile, adjust the supports, and initiate the test with minimal setup time.
Operational advantages include:
-
Easy specimen placement and alignment
-
Clear load indication for accurate reading
-
Minimal operator training required
-
Consistent results across different operators
This makes the system ideal for production-line quality checks as well as laboratory testing.
