Lloyd Instruments LFPLUS Series - AMETEK Chatillon - #1

The LFPlus Series digital testing machine is an easy to use solution for force measurement and material testing applications up to 1 kN (225 Ibf) capacities. The machine uses interchangeable XLC Series loadcells as the measurement device. Tension and compression testing with cycling to load and extension limits are standard features. The machine can be equipped with a variety of accessories including: grips, fixtures, compression frames and extensometers.

The LFPlus features an innovative design that maximises working space and simplifies operation and maintenance. The large work surface accommodates large specimens and can be specified with optional work surfaces for specialised fixtures or applications.

The LFPlus Series displays load and extension information on a highly legible LCD console with integral membrane keypad. The machine's intuitive firmware displays prompts and menus which guide an authorised user through machine operations. Users can choose from a range of display languages.

The machine performance can be maximised when combined with our NEXYGEN™ FM application software. This WINDOWS® based software is equally easy-to-use and allows detailed force measurement and material testing data to be stored and displayed in graphical and tabular formats. The software also lets you manipulate data to produce detailed analytical reports, plus the ability to integrate with popular WINDOWS® software packages including EXCEL®, ACCESS®, WORD®, POWERPOINT® and OUTLOOK®.
