The LS5 materials testing machine is an affordable, easy to use system, ideal for material testing applications up to 5 kN (1124 lbf). The machine uses high accuracy interchangeable YLC Series loadcells for tension, compression and cycling through zero force measurements.
The LS5 materials testing machine features an integral control console with membrance multi-function keypad and easy to read backlit LCD to display load and extension information. The control console displays prompts and menus, which guide the user through machine operations.
The system is capable of storing up to 600 test results from a choice of 10 programmable test set-ups. Alternatively, machine performance can be optimised using our innovative, easy to use NEXYGENPlus material test and data analysis software. Test information can easily be exported to Microsoft® products such as Word, Excel® and Outlook®.
