Features removable controller, horizontal and vertical operation, protection against dust/liquids and various load-speed capacities
Admet, a provider of integrated materials testing systems, has introduced the Expert 450x tabletop universal testing machine. The single-column testing machine features a modular design that enables it to be configured for a variety of applications. Available as a standalone machine with a digital controller or with Admet's Mtest Windows materials testing system, the load frame can be configured for tension, compression and bend tests ranging from less than 0.5 450kg.
Expert 450x offers what are said to be unique features.
Removable digital controller - by enabling users to remove and relocate the controller from the base, Admet facilitates testing materials in wet or dusty/abrasive environments that may damage the electronics. Actuator bellows seal kit - The Expert 450x, with a top-mounted actuator, accepts an optional neoprene bellows seal kit that completely protects the actuator from liquid, dust or fiber infiltration.
This feature substantially reduces maintenance and maintains accuracy in harsh environments.
This contrasts with typical unprotected or track-mounted 'accordion' bellows on load frames that allow infiltration.
Horizontal operation - once the controller has been removed from the base, the Expert 450x can be operated in a horizontal position.
This offers users greater flexibility in positioning and testing materials.
Several load-speed ranges - The Expert 450x is offered with three different motor/gear packages that affect the load capacity and maximum speed of the machine.
The Expert 450x universal testing machine is priced starting at $3750, and is available immediately from ADMET and its representatives.
