Table-Top Universal Testing Instruments

Compact solutions for performing tests Table-Top Universal Testing Instruments

Lightweight and Compact The compact size fits easily on table tops. An "open table” design provides open access from both sides of the table to ensure a large work space. Convenient to Use The height of the device has been lowered significantly. This makes it easier to exchange jigs and samples, and to perform a wide variety of operations. Adjustable Control Panel An adjustable manual controller allows the user to set the crosshead positioning and start or stop testing. The position and angle of the control panel can be adjusted to match the user's posture.

High - Pr e ci sion Te sting System High-precision test force measurements are guaranteed with a load cell of up to 5 kN capacity. The system uses a high-precision load cell that guarantees accuracy to within ±0.5% of the indicated value (high-precision type) over a wide range, from 1/500 to 1/1 of the rated capacity. JIS B7721 Class 1 This ensures highly reliable ISO 7500-1 Class 1 Compliance evaluation tests over a wide EN 10002-2 Grade 1 range of loads. ASTM E4 Note: Shimadzu recommends inspection at an installation site that meets the requirements specified in these standards. With 3 tester...

Evaluating Food Textures Compression Test on Bread Surface Hardness Test on Apple 25 mm thick bread was compression tested using a 36 mm diameter cylindrical jig. Stress was measured at 40% deformation at a test speed of 100 mm/min, in accordance with standard AACC test methods. Piercing test jigs are used for piercing and penetration tests. They make it possible to evaluate the surface hardness (yield point) of skins, coatings etc. on samples such as vegetables, fruits, and jelly beans. Cylindrical press jig ø36mm Lower compression plate ø200mm Piercing needle jig ø3mm Lower compression plate...

Jig Platform The upper plate portion can be replaced with various jig attachments such as a tray for catching extruded or spilled samples or a waterproof tray. Without any attachments, the platform can be used as a table. Shear Test on Sausage This jig enables shear tests that involve cutting with a blade. In addition to V-cuts for Werner Platzer tests, it allows the user to substitute blades with other edge profiles. It is used to evaluate the shearing of foods such as meats, sausages, cheese, vegetables, and snack bars. Blade shear jig (60° V-Cut) Jig platform Volodkevich bite jig Jig platform...

Crush Test on Fruit Ottawa cells are specialized jigs that compress samples and measure the compression or extrusion force required to extrude the sample through a slit in the bottom. They are used to evaluate samples such as vegetables, fruits, beans, and cereals. Ottawa cell set Jig platform Extrusion Test on Liquid This jig makes it possible to measure the test force required to extrude samples through a hole. The extrusion hole size can be changed based on the concentration and viscosity of the sample. It is used to evaluate liquids such as sauces, pastes, and gels. Tubing test jig Jig platform...

Evaluating Plastics and Rubbers Tensile Test on Rubber Dumbbells In this example, a rubber dumbbell was tensile-tested using pneumatic flat grips. These grips are able to use air pressure to grip specimens with a constant force, which makes it possible to securely grip rubber and other specimens that decrease in thickness as tension is applied. Using an DSES-1000 extensometer allows elongation to be accurately measured all the way up to the breaking point. DSES-1000 is compliant with various rubber tensile testing standards. Tensile Test on Film In this example, film was tensile-tested using...

Piercing Test on FIlm This jig makes it possible to measure the piercing strength needed to puncture various film materials, such as those used in retort (boil-in-bag) pouches. Test samples are cut into circles about 20 mm in diameter for testing. Boil-in-bag piercing stand Upper jig Lower jig Tensile Test on Fibers This jig includes capstans to grip thread, cords, and other narrow fibrous samples so that an initial tension force can be applied and breakage can be prevented at the chuck. Samples are gripped pneumatically. Peeling Test on Adhesive Tape The sample table slides in sync with the...

Supported by a Refined Operation System TRAPEZIUMX-V Material Testing Operation Software By registering frequently-used parameters in a Quick Parameter List, tests can be started with a single step. Test Method & Status Panel Quick Panel Confirm testing conditions and the test status from the main window. The speed, dimensions and report information can be entered directly from the testing screen. Advanced Navigation System with a Learning Function Results Panel The Navigation Bar shows only the functions required for selected situations. In addition, the “Learning Function” records user actions...

Single This software is specialized for standard testing of plastics, rubber, fibers, textiles, film, paper, electronic components, and other items that are tested with one-dimensional movement. Tensile tests, compression tests, 3- and 4-point bending tests, peel tests, and more TRAPEZIUM LITE X is software based on the Single module of TRAPEZIUM X software. Linking the testing machine to a computer significantly improves the efficiency of routine testing. It is particularly useful for quality control testing, which involves performing tests frequently using a given set of test parameters. *...

EZ Test Specifications EZ Test Tester Load Capacity (note 1) Load Method The load cell type can be selected from 9 types: The load cell type can be selected from 12 types: 1 N, 2 N, 5 N, 10 N, High-precision constant-speed strain measurement using backlash-free ball screw drive High-Precision Type (note 2) Test Force Measurement Standard-Precision Type (note 2) ±0.5% of indicated value (within 1/500 to 1/1 of load cell rated capacity) Conforms to JIS B 7721 class 0.5, ISO 7500-1 class 0.5, EN 10002-2 grade 0.5, and ASTM E4. ±1% of indicated value (within 1/500 to 1/1 of load cell rated capacity)...
