IDM Instruments, Universal Testing Machine, Dual Testing Compression and Tensile, Twin Column Bench-Mounted (New)

Description

  1. Overview
    1. Universal testing machine specially designed and manufactured to perform tests in both compression and tensile without having to change the attachments.
    2. Universal measurement of firmness and hardness is based on a physical property called the indentation force deflection (IFD).
    3. IFD is calculated by determining the force required to deflect a test piece a percentage of its original thickness using a circular indentor, which applies a force while also recording the degree of indentation.
    4. Fixed dual testing capabilities comprising compression testing on the inner frame and tensile testing on the outer frame.
    5. Dual testing space design eliminates the need of having two machines required for testing.
    6. Software program designed to allow testing of both compression and tensile capabilities, enabling the same software to be used on the one machine with dual testing.
    7. Dual testing capability saves time for operators needing to change between fixtures, as they are fixed onto the machine at their own designated area.
    8. Operator needs only to switch a button on the machine to select from tensile to compression, which speeds up production time, test set up time, reduces operator fatigue and decreases possible setup errors.
  2. Specifications
    1. Twin column bench-mounted universal testing machine.
    2. Strong and durable frame to withstand years of use.
