Designed primarily for high capacity tension testing, the single test space design of the LX system allows for compression, bend/flex, and shear testing. The LX Model is powered by a hydraulic pumping system that moves a long stroke actuator assembly to provide the forces necessary for testing.
Features
- Single footprint design that combines the load frame, hydraulic power supply, electronics and control panel into a single package – reduces floor space requirements by more than 60%.
- Adaptable frame design with large, easy-to-access, single test opening and long test stroke accommodates a variety of specimen sizes, grips, fixtures, furnaces, and extensometers.
- Digital control electronics provide high accuracy and fast response – integrated controller automatically recognizes and calibrates transducers, eliminating switches, pots, and dials.
- Choice of Partner™ or Bluehill® 2 Universal Materials Testing Software providing the ultimate in ease-of-operation and flexibility.
- Ideally suited for tensile proof and ultimate strength tests on fasteners, chain, threaded-end and shoulder-end specimens, wire rod, and sheet materials.
- Available with manual crosshead locks and notched columns or automatic lifts and locks to adjust test opening.
