Compression testing machine MCT series

bendingtensilepeel force

Overview
The MCT series of table top universal testing machines are great alternatives to force and push-pull gauges. Strength you can see! Color touch panel - precise and easy to use. Two models available: the general purpose MCT-1150 and the rigid and durable MCT-2150 with high precision ball screw and thicker crosshead.

Key features

• Color touch panel for clear visibility and simple operation
• High-precision load cell included; plug in for quick use (auto-zero on startup)
• Easy-to-use digital testing-speed settings
• Displacement display included as standard
• Includes data capture software for PCs
• Compatible with force gage and push-pull gage jigs (attachments) using M6 screws (use M6 male screw thread adapter when necessary)
• Print maximum load and displacement with the AD-8126 mini printer (sold separately)
• Space-saving table top design: 250(W) x 405(D) x 711(H) mm

Software

• MCT-Logger (recording software) — Real-time graphing, calculate and display maximum value and displacement, import/export CSV. Included with MCT-1150.
• MSAT-Lite (data processing software) — Displays operation and processing results, data analysis and graphing, CSV support. Included with MCT-2150.

Lineup
Lineup includes the general purpose MCT-1150 and the high performance MCT-2150. A low-capacity variant MCT-2150W is also listed.

Caractéristiques / spécifications techniques

• Model: MCT-1150 (General purpose), MCT-2150 (High performance), MCT-2150W (High performance, low capacity)
• Table / floor model: Table model
• Maximum capacity: 500 N
• Crosshead stroke: MCT-1150 = 400 mm; MCT-2150 / 2150W = 370 mm
• Effective stroke*: MCT-1150 = 315 mm; MCT-2150 / 2150W = 285 mm
• Crosshead speed: 10–300 mm/min (within ±5% of set value)
• Crosshead speed setting: Digital, 1 mm/min increments within range
• Crosshead return speed: Three speed settings — 10, 100, 300 mm/min
• Crosshead speed and load capacity: Full speed range at maximum capacity
• Load measurement accuracy (using 500 N load cell): ±0.2% F.S. (general); 50 N–5 N: ±0.2% F.S. / 50 N–5 N: within 2% indicator value / 5 N and lower: within 0.1 N (details vary by model/load cell)
