Description

Compact and lightweight Universal Testing Machine with full computer control and precision AC servo drive system. Ideally suited to high-volume, low force testing applications such as paper or packaging materials. Available in both standard and long-travel versions suitable for testing of high-elongation materials.

For our standard Seal Strength / Tensile / Compression Tester see the SST-3XS model.

Features & Benefits

Made to Measure

The SST-1000 is a completely digital testing system featuring high precision control and accuracy. The system features automated computer control of test methods, enabling easy operation:

  • Automated recognition of load cells and extensometers, with on-device storage of calibration parameters
  • Delivers high-resolution load cells with better precision over ±0.5% down to 1/1000th of the load cell capacity
  • Features an 800% overload capability of load cells without damage
  • The software calibration check facility enables real-time verification of machine accuracy
  • Accurate crosshead control through digital AC servo drive and brushless servo motor provides maintenance-free operation and 20,000 pulses/rev positional control
  • The system comes with high-efficiency pre-loaded self-cleaning ballscrews for quick and silent testing and is built with sealed-for-life lubricated end bearings
  • Delivers accurate alignment and smooth running using the crosshead guidance system
  • Loaded with a high-speed data collection system for up to four synchronous channels
  • The system is available with a broad range of contacting and non-contacting extensometers, which includes laser and video models
  • Compact footprint design ensures the economy of bench space
  • Features a wide range of grips and fixtures for compression, tension, shear, flexural, peel, product testing, etc.
  • Provides overtravel, overload and impact protection
  • Additional protection for ballscrews against dust and testing debris ensured through telescopic covers
  • Expansion channel for additional devices like micrometers, extensometers, balances, calipers, etc.
  • High stiffness loading frames with solid specialized steel crossheads and rigid extruded support columns using T-slots for accessory mounting
