IRON & STEEL |
In addition to conventional stress control, tensile testing with strain control is increasingly in demand. ISO 6892 JIS Z2241 |
 |
PLASTICS & RESIN |
Measuring the modulus of elasticity in the ultra-small strain domains specified by ISO and JIS standards has become necessary. ISO 527 ISO 178 JIS K7171 |

CERAMICS |
Many samples are damaged by microscopic displacements, so accurate control is needed, right from the start of testing |
Achieve an Accurate S-S Curve with High-Precision Load Cells

Almost the entire testing could be done without changing the load cell or jig, thanks to the assured accuracy range of 1/500 to 1/1. Additionally, 1 msec high-speed sampling ensures that no strength variations are overlooked.
Improved Safety
Safety Function / One-Touch Stroke Limit

The safety mechanism shuts off the testing equipment if force changes surpass a particular threshold during specimen setting or return. Furthermore, adjusting stroke limits is as simple as flicking a switch.
Protection Cover

The cover controls the test specimen's scattering during testing. The interlock increases safety by allowing operators to simply open and close it using the slide mechanism.
Dual Emergency-Stop Switches

Both sides include emergency stop switches (20 kN to 300 kN frame).
Smarter Work Space
New and improved functionalities make for easier, more efficient testing.

-
One-Touch Stroke Limiters
Pinch and slide, then release to lock. One-touch stroke limiters allow for easy one-touch adjustment and secure locking of the crosshead stroke limit positions.
-
Load Cell
A single load cell with test force accuracy to ± 0.5 % of the reported value (for high-precision type) can cover a wide testing range from 1/500 to 1/1 of the load cell rating. The calibration cable stores the load cell's rated value, which is immediately recognized when the cable is attached.
-
Crosshead
Achieves 2,000 mm/min testing speed and 2,200 mm/min return speed (20 kN frame), considerably lowering the time necessary for repetitive testing.
-
Common Joint for Both Tensile and Compression Tests (20-300 kN Frame)
Uses a single joint for both tension and compression testing. This makes it easy to swap jigs. The joint is secured by a nut located in the upper portion of the loading cell, allowing for safe detachment of the joint from the table.
-
Main Operation Panel
The primary operating panel creates and stores test conditions, enabling testing without connecting to a PC. The jog wheel can be used to carry out other operations, such as opening and closing the automatic extensometer button. The primary operating panel is movable, allowing easy angle adjustment. The display language can be either English or Chinese.
* The controller is needed separately for the automatic opening and shutting of jigs.
-
Emergency Stop Switches
In an emergency, the emergency switches reliably cut power to the servo amplifier, immediately halting crosshead movement.
