Dual Column Universal Testing Machines Debut

May 9th, 2006

The eXpert 26xx Series is a line of dual column electromechanical universal testing machines. Machine capacities range from 10 kN (2,250 lbf) to 50kN (10,000 lbf) in tabletop configurations, and 50kN to 150 kN (30,000 lbf) in floor-standing models.

The eXpert 26xx line is designed to provide low-cost, accurate compression, tension and flexure testing of biomaterial, elastomer, film, foil, metal, packaging, plastics textile and wire materials components and structures. The units feature a fast-acting servo motor, twin ball-screws for superior axial alignment, stiffness and crosshead guidance. The floor-standing models have wide column spacing to accommodate large and specialized grips and fixtures, and temperature chambers, as well as large parts and structures.

Three controllers are available for the eXpert testing machines starting with the low-cost, standalone eP Digital Controller and the Precise Controller, which both offer the ability to pre-program test routines and collect and export a wide range of test data. At the high end, is the MTESTWindows™ PC/Windows-based materials testing software system which features monotonic, segmented or cyclic servo control profiles under load, position or strain control to perform tests.

All systems exceed ASTM E4, BSENISO7500-1 : 2004, DIN 51221 and JIS B7721 standards for load accuracy and ASTM E83 and BSENISO9513 : 2002 standards for strain accuracy. Full product specifications are available on the ADMET website.

ADMET eXpert 26xx line is available immediately directly from ADMET and through ADMET representatives. Pricing starts at less than $15,000 for the eXpert 2611 tabletop machine equipped with the eP Digital Controller. ADMET also offers a full line of grips and fixtures for the eXpert 26xx line and all of its other universal testing machines.
