Universal Testing Systems

  Electromechanical and hydraulic systems are used in universal testing machines to perform static testing, as well as tensile, compression, bend, peel, tear, and other mechanical tests. Our Testing Machine systems are available in standard force capacities ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 pounds. As a unified component, all MTI systems include our powerful Intel Core i5 Pentium based Data Acquisition/Analysis/Control System, resulting in a completely mechanized materials testing system. Why is a Universal Testing Machine needed? To ensure exact and precise velocity control and arranging capability, all load frames are formulated to exact resistance and use precision ball screw drives, ground linear guide rods and bearings, and high-strength steel construction. Crosshead velocity is computer controlled and nearly infinitely variable across the system's speed range. As shown here, all mid-force range floor model systems are designed to accommodate both tension and compression loa...
