Key Features & System Capabilities

  • Integrated Touchscreen Controller: Features a clear 7-inch digital touchscreen display for real-time test data monitoring, including force readings, date, time, and specimen numbers.

  • Precision Panasonic Servo Drive: Powered by a Panasonic AC servo motor and drive system offering ultra-quiet operation, low noise, and continuous speed control from 0.01mm/min up to 500mm/min.

  • High-Efficiency Ball Screw Transmission: Utilizes a high-precision ball screw system to ensure smooth crosshead movement, eliminate backlash, and deliver precise displacement measurement.

  • Premium Sensor & Encoder Componentry: Fitted with a high-accuracy Celtron load cell and an Omron photoelectric encoder to guarantee reliable work and high-resolution load reporting (1/300,000).

  • Multi-Functional Mechanical Testing: Easily compatible with a wide array of test grips, fixtures, and optional extensometers for pull testing, elongation measurement, yield strength, and compression evaluation.

  • Automatic Specimen Break Detection: Features an intelligent “Stop on Break” function that automatically halts the crosshead the moment specimen destruction is detected.

  • Batch Testing & Data Operations: Powerful memory function allows continuous testing of sample groups, with easy operations to review, modify, invoke, or delete test data.

  • Safety & Load Cell Protection: Equipped with dual mechanical limit switches and an accessible emergency stop switch to safeguard operator safety, sensors, and custom grips.

  • Software & USB Expandability: Ready for computer connectivity via USB port to run external PC software for advanced data logging, curve analysis, and detailed test report generation.

  • NZ Industry & Lab Compliance: Engineered for materials testing across New Zealand QA, QC, and R&D facilities requiring strict compliance with AS/NZS, ASTM, and ISO testing standards, with full support for IANZ calibration certification.
