Erichsen Cupping Testing Machines

Analogue and digital cupping testers for sheet metal formability

Erichsen Cupping Testing Machines · Canan Testing

The Erichsen cupping testing machine is a specialised instrument used to evaluate the ductility and formability of sheet metal. It presses a hemispherical punch into a clamped sheet until a visible crack appears; the depth of the cup at that moment is the Erichsen index.

We offer the ET 20 and the digital ET 20 D Erichsen testing machines for sheets 0.1 to 2.0 mm thick, with a least count of 0.01 mm.

About Erichsen Cupping Testing Machines

The Erichsen cupping test checks how well sheet metal can be formed. A hemispherical punch presses into a clamped sheet until a crack appears, and the cup depth at that moment is the Erichsen index: the higher the value, the better the formability.

It is a fast acceptance test for deep-drawing steel, aluminium, brass and copper sheets used in automotive bodies, appliances and pressed components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Erichsen index?

It is the depth of the cup, in millimetres, at the moment a through-crack appears in the sheet. A higher value indicates better formability.

Which sheets can be tested?

Steel, aluminium, copper, brass and other metal sheets, typically 0.1 to 2 mm thick.
