Universal Testing Machine

• Preload, Test, Stop and Return operations initiated with one keystroke.
• Preload Force, Test Speed and Return Speed may be preset.
• Jog controls allow fast and accurate crosshead setup.
• Automatic Stop or Return following sample break.
• Real-time graphic display of Load (or Stress) vs. Extension.
• Load measurement accuracy: ±0.5% of reading from 1% to 100% of rated capacity.
• Extension from crosshead: Resolution = 0.63 micron/jaw separation, Accuracy = ±83 micron/meter of travel. Optional high-resolution encoder makes Resolution = 0.063 micron/jaw separation.
• Extension from extensometer: Resolution = 1/262144 of full range,
Accuracy per extensometer specifications.
• Standard system supports one load and one extensometer input channel. Additional channels are optional. Resolution of 20 bits binary. DSP filter standard. Conversion rate 4096 Hz (standard) or 8192 Hz (optional).
• Operator-selectable measurement units: English, Metric, SI, or mixed.
• Operator may set any test speed within the capacity of the machine using keyboard entry.
• Operator can program up to twenty preset speeds.
• Speeds may be selected “on the fly” with instant crosshead response.
• Limits programmable-position, load or strain.
• Cycle functions programmable-position, load or strain control.
• Area compensation on/off.
• Digital servo control system – optional encoder, digital signal processor, solid state amplifier. Optional upgrades, customized or “specific-brand” computer systems can also be provided to meet special application requirements or customer preference.
