Uses of Mid-force Universal Testing Systems

 Universal Testing systems can handle force capacities from 1,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds. All MTI systems have a very unique Intel Core i5 Pentium-based Data acquisition System as an integrated part, resulting in a total automated materials testing system. All load frames are made to handle tolerance and use precision ball screw drives, linear guide rods and bearings, and high-strength steel construction to cover accurate velocity control and positioning capability.

 

Crosshead velocity is computer-based and is nearly variable over the entire range of the system. All medium force range model systems are designed to give for both tension and compression loading, either above or below the moving crosshead. The testing fixtures and load cell can be joined to any of the four crosshead surfaces to ensure maximum capability and serviceability.

 

Low force load frames are generally made to table-top systems. These Universal TestingSystems provide similar performance capabilities as our larger floor model units when high force capacity is not a requirement.

 

Another construction feature of all MTI mid-range floor models frames with dual test bay capability is the fusion of a normal-sized hole in both load-bearing surfaces of the moving crosshead. The Universal Testing Systems can be kept and measured on the crosshead and load fixture attachment rods can project simultaneously into both test bays. This allows for the setup to be easy for totally two different kinds of tests and without even having to remove and reposition hardware on a frequent basis. You can easily do a tensile test trying it in the upper bay and then giving a compression test or a bending test below the moving crosshead of the testing machine without adding or removing your fixtures.
