Description:
This high quality large capacity electromechanical Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is in excellent condition. It was made by Measurements Technology Inc. (MTI). See further information under Large Capacity Systems on MTS website by searching "Universal Testing Machine Systems - Measurements Technology Inc" . This system has capability to test high strength materials to 50,000 lbs. tension/compression and comes equipped with tensile wedge grips, compression platen, compression test fixture, flexure fixture, strain extensometers, and computer with software for control and analysis. Seller will accommodate buyer in performing buy-off tests and evaluations to documented test plan at seller's facility prior to purchase if buyer is committed to purchase once satisfactory results are demonstrated.
Automatic Force, Displacement and Strain Measurement:
There are no knobs for Load and Strain zero and range adjustment on MTI systems; force and displacement and strain measurements are automatic. MTI Ad-24 automatic 24-bit Force and Strain Signal Processors are supplied with each system. The AD-24's provide data accuracy and measurement resolution approaching one part in one hundred thousand in a fully automatic mode of operation. The load frame crosshead displacement measurement is also automatic, with resolution of 0.25 microns (0.00001 inches) for all tests.
Load Frame Features and Furnished Accessories:
Tension and compression testing can be performed in the Test Bay.
Two precision rolled ball screws with preloaded multiple circuit ball nuts provide smooth, precise crosshead motion under the full operating load range.
Chrome steel guide rods and linear bearings eliminate lateral surface translation and assure accurate crosshead alignment throughout the full range of travel.
Heavy fan-fold bellows protect the lead screws and linear travel bearings from contamination and damage.
Crosshead surfaces are ground to precise flatness and parallel standards.
Each crosshead surface is fabricated with a mounting bolt circle that provides a means of attaching the system load cell or universal joints or any of a large assortment of testing fixtures to any of the four surfaces.
The load cell can be mounted on the top or bottom crosshead surface to accommodate all testing conditions, including elevated and cryogenic temperature testing requirements.
A universal joint and linkage for attaching to tensile wedge grips or similar test fixtures is furnished.
A full frame force capacity universal tension/compression pancake load cell is provided with system calibration through the MTI AD-24 automatic 24-bit load cell signal conditioner.
A high resolution optical encoder coupled to the frame rotating components furnishes crosshead displacement measurements for test programs, and also provides the control system with closed loop feedback to assure constant crosshead travel rate under all load conditions.
