Universal Testing Machine Software

How it works

1. 1

   Set up the test method

   Start from a pre-loaded standard or build your own method, then save it for every operator to reuse.

   • Tensile or compression test, in CRE, CRL or CSR mode
   • Sample details: cross-section shape, gauge length, width, thickness, and warp/weft or MD/CD direction
   • Pre-load with automatic force and displacement tare, and automatic gauge length correction
   • Stop conditions: until extension, until load, until load drop or at a sensitivity %, combined as needed
   • Hold at position or at load, and load or extension reduction for relaxation and recovery studies
   • Specialised tests: seam strength and slippage, ILD for flexible foam, and cyclic or fatigue tests
2. 2

   Run the test

   A clear test screen shows exactly what the machine is doing, specimen by specimen.

   • Live force, extension and time, with one-touch zeroing
   • Automatic move to the gauge length before each specimen
   • Live graph: force vs displacement, stress vs strain, force vs time or displacement vs time
   • Different dimensions for each specimen in the same batch
   • Start, stop and inching controls on screen
   • Status bar with connection, direction, encoder, stop condition, speed and load cell
3. 3

   Analyse and report

   Results are calculated the moment the test ends, and can be re-analysed later without re-testing.

   • Mean, median, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, max, min and range
   • Peak and valley detection with adjustable thresholds, for peel and tear tests
   • Margin sections, automatic or at set positions, for average force over a region
   • Young's modulus, automatic or over a set strain range
   • Yield point by zero slope or % offset method
   • Change units, pick specimens, zoom the graph, add comments, then export to Excel or print to PDF
