Universal Hydraulic Test Systems save floor space.
Press Release Summary:
Series SATEC(TM) testing systems are available 2 model types ranging in capacity from 33,750-135,000 lbf. Testers combine frame, hydraulic power supply, electronics, and control panel into single machine. DX line features hydraulically powered load frames that include 2 test spaces, allowing tension and compression tests to be performed in separate areas. LX models have rigid 2-column load frame to provide test space to accommodate range of specimen sizes at comfortable working height.
Original Press Release:
Instron® Introduces Its Satec(TM) Series of Single Footprint Hydraulic Universal Testing Systems
Instron®, a leading provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, introduces its new SATEC(TM) Series of single footprint hydraulic universal testing systems. Available in DX and LX models, these uniquely designed testers combine the frame, hydraulic power supply, electronics, and control panel into a single machine, reducing floor space requirements by more than 60%. This space saving feature allows labs to perform high capacity tension, compression and flexure tests on metals, fasteners, chain, wire, composites and concrete without sacrificing lab space.
The DX line includes three models ranging in capacity from 150 kN to 300 kN (33,750 lbf to 135,000 lbf). These hydraulically powered load frames include two test spaces allowing tension and compression tests to be performed in separate areas. This design lets users change between tension and compression testing without having to remove heavy fixtures. This feature ensures safety, reduces operator fatigue and provides a high level of flexibility.
The LX models range in capacities from 150 kN to 300 kN (33,750 lbf to 135,000 lbf). Their rigid two-column load frame provides a large test space to accommodate a myriad of specimen sizes at a comfortable working height.
