Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the MTI Tensile MicroStage, a precision measurement solution designed for use in tight spaces under adjustable-lens microscopes. It is manufactured by MTI Instruments, a subsidiary of Mechanical Technology, Inc.
Design and Features: The MTI Tensile MicroStage is constructed with lightweight materials suitable for air table and motorized stage requirements. It can accommodate specimen risers for short-range lenses and detectors, and the load cell can be easily changed for more accurate measurements at lower forces. The system includes an intuitive operating package with a Windows-based control and material testing software that complies with ASTM specifications.
Specifications: The system has a maximum load capability of 100 lbs (450 N) and a weight of 1.65 lbs (750g). It supports a maximum sample size of 1mm x 71.5mm x 10mm for compression and a minimum sample size of 44.5mm x 10mm for tension. The maximum strain travel is 27mm, with a load cell accuracy of ±0.2% of the full-scale load range and a linear scale accuracy of ±20 nm resolution. Power requirements are 100-240 Vac, 50-60 Hz, and the data acquisition rate is adjustable to a maximum of 1 kHz.
Export and Compatibility: The system allows for the export of raw test data and results in standard formats such as .csv, .pdf, .jpg, and .bmp, facilitating integration with other data analysis and laboratory management systems. It is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, or 7, requiring 2 Gb DRAM or greater.
Additional Information: For tensile stages suitable for SEM or stages with sample heaters, additional products are available on the MTI Instruments website.

MicroStage traction-2

To control experiments and collect data, MTI Tensile MicroStage Tester uses a proprietary Windows®-based control and material testing software system that complies with ASTM specifications. This powerful package provides a user-friendly interface to set system test parameters and analyze data. Specimen dimensions are defined along with strain rates and thresholds (load, elongation, time), which are then used to perform automated tests and calculations. These parameters are stored as files that can be called upon again for future tests. Results are provided in real time and stress-strain curves...
