	AutoGrid® in-process
	Highest flexibility for component analysis and in-process materials testing
	ViALUX provides a fast and accurate tool for the determination of forming limit curves (FLCs) of sheet metal materials. Directly connected to the testing machine, the system gives precise ac-cess to the maximum strain value just before necking and subsequent cracking occurs. The AutoGrid® software package allows to create FLCs from a set of specimens very effectively.
	With the knowledge of the original undeformed grid size, the system is able to determine a field of strain values in the range of 0.5 % to more than 100 % without any unambiguity. Grid sizes range between 1-5mm. Images sequences of up to 24x4 frames per second can be recorded. In case of the standard testing velocity of 1-2 mm ⁄ s, a punch depth resolution of less than 0.1 mm can be achieved. The system also features additional data inputs that can track different values from the testing machine. For example, press load and punch stroke can be stored with each measurement. Automatic evaluation helps to generate complete forming limit curves. All process variables of differently shaped specimen are provided to determine reliable FLC data. Advanced software features can be used to process an export the measurement data and to make reports. The system also meets the requirements of bulge or tensile testing.
