MTS Systems — AVX 3D

Advantage 3D Video Extensometer (AVX 3D)

The Advantage ™ 3D Video Extensometer (AVX) is designed to deliver precise, non-contact strain and displacement measurements across a wide spectrum of materials testing applications. Compatible with MTS Criterion®, Landmark® and other test systems, this versatile 3D measurement solution provides precise data about material properties.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Stereo Camera — Low-glare, cross-polarized light optimizes imaging and analysis
  • Easy Post Processing — Measurements can be added during post-processing mode, and automated batch processing available
  • Accuracy — Integrates with MTS TestSuite TW software to provide up to 200 real-time measurements
  • Flexibility — Supports up to 32 analog/input/output channels and up to 16 digital input/output channels
