SST 1000 Universal Testing Machine

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
