Admet, a provider of integrated materials testing systems, is offering a low-cost testing station for servo equipped universal testing machines (UTMs)
The eP digital controller is being integrated into many of Admet's new machine configurations and is also used for Admet retrofits of hydraulic and electromechanical testing machines from virtually any supplier.
The eP digital controller will be demonstrated at ASM International's Materials Science and Technology (MS+T) Conference and Expo on Oct 16-19, 2006 in Cincinnati, and at MassPlastics in Fitchburg, Mass on Oct 25-26, 2006.
The low-cost eP digital controller is a closed loop servo controller that simplifies materials and product testing and requires minimal training.
It is useful for testing adhesives, biomaterials, cables, connectors, film, food, plastics, metals, rubber, springs, textiles and a range of other materials and products.
"The eP digital controller provides unprecedented price/performance for materials and product testing," said Richard Gedney, Admet founder and president.
"We're finding it to be particularly attractive for retrofits.
"It creates a new price point for both hydraulic and electromechanical machines that makes it cost effective to replace analog or update digital controls.
"Retrofits can generally be done in a few days and training takes minutes."
