Allround-Line Table-Top and Floor-Standing Testing Machines The table-top testing machines are equipped with two columns made of patented extruded aluminum. They are light and highly bend-resistant and combine the functions of spindle guide and spindle protection. T-slots on the outer sides allow simple mounting of accessories such as fixtures or safety guards, unrestricted by the moving crosshead. All table-top testing machines can be fitted with stands to bring the workspace to the optimum height for the application or operator. This allows, for example, comfortable seated operation with plenty of legroom, making the system well suited to wheelchair users also. Hard-chrome plated guide columns and a precision ball screw with playfree spindle nuts guarantee a high level of precision for the floor-standing machines. Various crosshead configurations are available, providing either an upper or lower test area – or both. All load frames with electromechanical drives can optionally be equipped with a second test area. Benefits include rapid change to a different type of test without having to reconfigure the entire machine.
