Digital Controller
The most economical and easy-to-use solution employs the Digital Controller. This Digital Controller is a stand-alone controller that features load and crosshead position inputs, enough memory to store 6 test methods, data analysis for measuring peak load, peak stress, load at extension, extension at load, average load, load at break, extension at break, stiffness and free height. It is ideal for product or QC testing and is capable of displaying pass/fail messages after each test based on user specified limits. Results can be uploaded to a PC via the on-board RS-232 serial port for import into test reports, spread sheets or database programs. Raw XY data can also be uploaded for further analysis or for generating load vs. deflection curves. The Digital Controller can be programmed to run at a constant rate until the specimen breaks, run to a load and hold for a user specified period of time, or cycle between load or position limits.

The Precise Controller
The Precise Controller is a stand-alone unit with live graphing capability. The Precise Controller features a keypad, an upper LCD character display for user input and indication, a lower graphical display for viewing stress vs. strain curves plus push-buttons for test start and return to home. The Precise has the ability to perform closed loop load, position or strain controlled tests to sample break or to a user defined setpoint. Test results, including date, time, specimen number, peak load, ultimate tensile strength, offset yield strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation at break, are displayed and can be printed locally or exported to a Windows based computer.

Windows based Material Testing System
The most powerful and versatile solution features Windows based Materials Testing System. Standard with this are load, crosshead position, axial strain, transverse strain and auxiliary input channels. A comprehensive set of monotonic, segmented or cyclic servo control profiles under load, position or strain control is available which provides the capability to perform virtually any type of test. Test reports featuring test and specimen information, results and a stress vs. strain curve can be printed or readied for email. A statistical summary for a group of like tests can also be generated. All results or raw data can be exported to a database or spreadsheet program for further review.
