Lloyd Instruments - Single Column Universal Material Testing Machines

Lloyd single column materials testers are cost effective, high quality machines with a force capacity of up to 5 kN. They are suitable for basic tensile, compression, bending, and shearing tests; as well as more complicated peeling, probing, friction, … tests. Double column units are also available with higher capacities of up to 150kN. How much maximum load you require will typically be the most important criterion, but not the only one.

Sample size and shape + grip dimensions, determine the test space required. Industrial or in-house testing standards typically specify the performance (speed) requirements of the machine. And then there are basic accuracy demands for the force and extension measurement systems. Materials testing machines from Lloyd Instruments guarantee the highest level of performance and capability for production testing, quality control, laboratory testing, research and education to provide expert materials testing solutions.

The powerful NEXYGENplus material testing software is developed and packaged with extensive automation features for routine QC testing, R&D and complex multi-stage testing with error-free, rapid and repeatable characters. 

Highlights:

• Wide speed range (0.01-2032 mm/min)
• Exceptional load accuracy (better than ±0.5% down to 1% of load cell value)
• Large work surface accommodates samples
• Choice of 8 plug and play YLC Series load cells with different load ratings and resolutions
• Extensive range of grips, fixtures and extensometers
• Scalable operation from standalone to PC control
• Software integration with popular WINDOWS® software packages

These universal testing machines are used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials (e.g. leather, rubber, plastic, asbestos, plywood, ceramics, resins, metal, PVC, paper, textile, wire, etc.) as well as components, and are ideal for product testing of finished goods such as plastics, packaging, medical devices, electronic components, textiles, metals, composites, paper and much more.
