Tensile / compression testing machine
35-05 Testing Machines Inc

The Programmable Force Tester is a highly configurable motorized test stand for tension and compression testing applications up to 1.5kN (300 lb). The stand can be controlled from the front panel or via a computer and is fully compatible with Nexygen™ TCD software. The Programmable Force Tester is engineered on a unique modular platform, allowing for "build-your-own" configurability. Features can be ordered individually at time of order or activated in the field. Integrated travel indication, overload protection, and a host of programmable parameters makes the tester quite sophisticated, while its intuitive menu structure allows for quick, simple setup and operation. With a rugged and modular design, the Programmable Force Tester is a compelling solution for applications in laboratory and production environments.
