Most laboratories buy a benchtop testing machine once and live with the decision for a decade. The frame outlasts two software versions, three technicians and usually the product line it was bought for, which…
If you’re familiar with tensile testing, you’ve probably come across a device called an extensometer. In simple terms, extensometers measure how much a material stretches under load. They track strain, giving engineers the data…
When a new material is developed, how do you know if it can withstand real-world stress? The answer often begins with a tensile test. This type of testing stretches a prepared specimen until it…
Thinking of building your own materials testing lab from scratch? Or maybe you’re looking to upgrade your equipment for material tests? Whether it’s a new tensile testing machine for your QA or QC department,…
In material testing, specimen machining is not the final step in achieving a fully prepared specimen for accurate testing results. Machining processes like turning, milling and grinding, often leave residual stresses and surface finish…
Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a highly versatile tool used to determine materials’ mechanical properties. The UTM is capable of performing various tests, including tensile strength (how much force a material can withstand when…
Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) are multipurpose devices used to evaluate materials’ mechanical properties, including tensile, compression, bending, and shear strengths. These machines are indispensable in many industries, from manufacturing to research, making certain that…
Throughout history, there have been many tragic engineering failures. Some resulted in minimal harm, while others led to significant death and property loss. This illustrates the critical responsibility engineers bear, as their creations directly…
Servo Hydraulic Universal Testing Machines, often abbreviated as UTM, are advanced pieces of equipment designed to test materials’ mechanical properties. They determine the tensile, compression, flexural (bending), and shear strength of both raw materials…
Your team can extend the machine to new test standards at any time using the machine's licensed TM Software, without CNC programming experience or outside help.
