Features:
1. The load cells and the extensive range of tool-free specimen grips are changeable.
2. Changing the load cells is tool-free, easy and quick. The software automatically recognition the selected load cell.
3. Software automatically sets up the test parameters of the selected Standard.
4. Quick change jaw face are tool free and a very simple and efficient process.
5. Along with pre-loaded standards, allows the user to custom and save their own standards.
6. The jaw separation is automatic, so unlike some of the competitor’s instruments, no steel ruler is required to measure the separation space.
7. When loading a sample, the jaws will initially apply very light pressure, sufficient to grip the sample but not to cause damage fingers.
8. Enhanced and supported by the easy to use and intuitive test analysis software.
9. All reporting can be saved directly to PDF, speeding up the process of producing the final test report.
10. The real time presentation of Extension and Force values allows monitoring of results and immediate visibility of trends during testing.
11. Custom statistical reporting. Specimen test results including current mean value allow immediate visibility of trends.
12. All the data from testing can be exported to Excel with an automatic graph creation facility, which enables the user to create their own custom analysis and statistics.
