Performs Tensile, Compression, Bend, Peel, Tear, Puncture, Friction, and Many More Tests
✔
✔
Brushless AC Motor
✔
✔
Available Smart-Close Pneumatic Air Kit Finger pinch hazards from pneumatic grips are reduced through lower grip-closing pressure and restricted speed during the set up phase of your test.
✔
✔
Collision Mitigation Reduce damage to equipment and specimens by stopping the crosshead if a force is detected upon return or during a jog.
✔
✔
Safety Coaching Clear visual feedback regarding system status to notify operators when it is safe to enter the test space.
✔
✔
Auto-Positioning Auto Positioning saves the correct fixture separation starting location for each test method. This ensures all operators run each test exactly the same way across all shifts every day.
✔
Removable Handset
✔
Specimen Protect Specimen Protect prevents excessive forces from being applied to the specimen during setup, protecting your critical specimens from damage.
