Designed for high-capacity tension, compression, bend/flex, and shear testing, the DX Models feature a dual test space and single footprint. Understanding the critical importance of operator safety these frames incorporate high-quality materials, componenents, and craftsmanship and are ideal for testing metals, wire rod, fasteners, concrete, and wood.
Features and Benefits
• - Single footprint saves valuable floor space - load frame, hydraulic power supply, and controller combined in a single package
• - Fully open-front grip design improves operator safety and throughput, and allows a limited number of jaw faces to cover a large range of specimen sizes
• - Two test space design makes changing between tension and compression testing safer and more efficient - no need to remove heavy fixtures
• - Convenient working height and ergonomic controls increase operator productivity and comfort
• - Productivity panel with multiple function keys and displays improves ergonomics, and allows the operator to perform common testing functions and view key test information without returning to the computer
• - Powerful, yet user-friendly materals testing software provides repeatable and reproducible results for simple to sophisticated testing requirements
• - Variable pressure hydraulic power supply provides pressure on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating the need for water cooling
• - Optional closed head grip design available
