Best 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 loading in either test bay — that is, above or below the moving crosshead. To ensure maximum capability and performance, the load cell and testing fixtures can be attached to any of the four crosshead surfaces. Low force load frames are typically built as table-top systems. When high force capacity is not a constraint, these Universal Testing systems provide the same work capabilities as our larger floor model units.

Each system includes the entire MTI Testing Programs library. There are various types of testing fixtures available. Specific applications and research programs may necessitate the use of additional instruments such as Extensometers and Signal Conditioners. MTI introduced the first biaxial strain sensor in 1979 and continues to provide highly developed designs to users all over the world. Our standard products also include user-friendly multi-channel signal conditioners.

Universal Testing Systems machines are an important part of quality assurance, and we want to provide you with the best quality test machine system to ensure your products can withstand the stress they will be subjected to. We provide a comprehensive range of testing systems such as materials testing machines, strength testing machines, compression testing machines, and metals testing equipment.

Why choose MTI?

MTI provides a comprehensive line of universal testing machines for tension, compression, bend, peel, and other applications. Our engineering team has painstakingly designed frames with superior axial alignment and stiffness that are compact, low-maintenance, and simple to use, exceeding all ISO accuracy standards.

MTI universal testing systems are available with a variety of controllers and software options to accommodate a wide range of applications. We also have grips, test fixtures, extensometers, and heating and cooling chambers available.

Our largest capacity systems have force capacities of 225 kN, 350 kN, and 450 kN (50,000/75,000/100,000 pounds). These systems offer the rigidity and efficiency required for these more demanding applications. Our automated testing machines are proudly manufactured in the United States.
