Tension and compression put to the test
MultiTest is a range of motorised test stands for tension and compression testing.
A particularly cost-effective method for evaluating quality of manufactured products, components or materials is by measuring response to applied tensile or compressive loads Now, Mecmesin has launched the MultiTest range of motorised test stands for tension and compression testing

Mecmesin has developed a new range of compact console-controlled compressive and tensile testing systems for quality control testing in manufacturing.
Tensile machine double for loads up to 25kN
Mecmesin launches two computer-controlled, compressive and tensile testing machines for quality control testing in manufacturing industries.
A system based on one of these stands, a force gauge or loadcell, and appropriate fixtures and accessories can be used to measure such diverse quantities as: pull-off resistance of crimped electrical connectors; peel strength of induction-sealed foils and adhesive films or labels; characteristic forces and deflections of switches and keypads; top-load strength of bevcans, PET bottles and other containers; insertion and withdrawal forces of connectors, fasteners, blades/needles - or corks; and performance of compression springs, tension springs and spring assemblies.
The basic MultiTest range, with a suitable capacity BFG (basic force gauge) or AFG (advanced force gauge) forms the basis of a budget-priced system where a single maximum force needs to be captured.
Such a system would, for example, be ideal for capturing: the failure force of a crimped electrical joint, the force to initiate peeling or tearing of a seal, sliding of a film, or the collapse of a container.
MultiTest systems with a frame capacity of 1000 or 2500N are available.
The MultiTest-x range features console-controlled machines, with load, displacement and crosshead speed being displayed.
System features include: dynamic zeroing, running to load, length, time or break, loadholding and averaging.
A facility for creating simple programs, with up to five test routines being stored is also provided.
Such a system is particularly suitable for testing: springs, plastics, rubbers, elastomers.
A MultiTest-x system can be used in environments unsuitable for a PC.
MultiTest-x systems with a load capacity of 1000, 2500 and 5000N are available.
The MultiTest-i range can be fully controlled by Mecmesin's powerful, flexible and user-friendly Emperor software.
Quality engineers, manufacturing technologists and materials scientists will find this testing system particularly useful for developing sophisticated test procedures and analyses to suit their particular requirements.
MultiTest-i systems are available with load capacities of 1000, 2500 and 5000N. Request a free brochure from Mecmesin ...
