- Speed range: 0.05 to 1270mm / min
- Intuitive operator interface
- Integral cabling
- Flash memory
- Load rate control
The
LRX single-column series offers bench mounted systems for applications
up to 2.5 kN. Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension
limits are standard features. This system is ideal for batch testing in production
or routine quality control. Alternatively, it can be configured as a sophisticated
research grade machine incorporating multi-stage testing for product development
and complex research applications.
Key Features
- Rapid data acquisition
- Continuous cycling between extension and load limit
- Extension resolution > 1 micron
- High accuracy load measurement (0.5% of reading0)
- Speed range: 0.05 to 1270mm / min
- Options:
- Multi-lingual display
- Multi-unit display
