Exceed® Electromechanical Test Systems

Systems with force capacities from 5 to 600 kN (1,100 to 132,000 lbf) meet QA/QC requirements and uptime demands of production environments, and provide reliable results for product development. Durable and easy to use, with features and controls typically found on higher-end systems. Accessories to test as low as 5 N (1.1 lbf) on a range of specimens.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Cost Efficient — Dual-test zone design uses single load cell for two types of tests
  • Easy, Intuitive Use — Self-ID capability for calibration and auto-ranging
  • Accurate — 1000 Hz data acquisition rate provides more meaningful analysis
  • Durable — Heavy duty components support longer system life
