Key Features
Available frame capacities: 1 kN, 2 kN and 5 kN (single-column configuration) – ideal for smaller load applications. AML Instruments
Force measurement accuracy up to ±0.5% of applied force and force resolution of 1/250 000. Barrus+1
Displacement (crosshead/position) measurement resolution down to 0.3 µm. AML Instruments+1
Speed range: 0.001 mm/min to 1000 mm/min (standard) for versatile test speeds. AML Instruments+1
Full-featured “Ivory” software included—pre-loaded with standards (EN, ISO, ASTM), test templates and report functions. Barrus+1
Modular accessories: extensometers (clip-on, long-travel, video), grips & fixtures – the machine can adapt from rubber to metal to composites. AML Instruments+1
Safety and control features: hardware end-stops, software force/extension limiters, optional plexiglass guarding. AML Instruments
Applications
Tensile testing of plastics, elastomers, wires, films and small metallic components.
Compression, flexure (bending) and peel/tear tests where a smaller footprint single-column machine is appropriate. AML Instruments
Quality control labs, production environments and research facilities where accuracy and repeatability are required.
