ADMET debuts eXpert 560x tabletop universal testing machine.


NORWOOD, Mass. -- Features flexible, modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. , advanced controllers, range of capacities, faster actuator A mechanism that causes a device to be turned on or off, adjusted or moved. The motor and mechanism that moves the head assembly on a disk drive or an arm of a robot is called an actuator. See access arm. ...

 systems, today introduced the eXpert 560x line of tabletop universal testing machines A Universal Testing Machine is used to test the tensile and compressive properties of materials. Such machines generally have two columns but single column types are also available. . Replacing ADMET's 450x line, it incorporates the latest in machine design and electronics to provide a flexible system for product and materials testing in capacity ranges of less than 1 lb. to 1,000 lb. in both single column and dual column configurations.

The new line's flexible design allows for both horizontal and vertical column configurations with the actuator top-mounted in vertical configurations, which makes it ideal for wet testing applications. The actuator can also be equipped with an optional bellows to seal the mechanics from moisture and airborne particles to operate maintenance-free in the harshest environments. Several motor/drive configurations lend increased flexibility and operating speeds of up to 25" (635mm) per minute.

The eXpert 560x is designed to work with either ADMET's recently announced low-cost eP Digital Controller or the MTESTWindows(TM) PC/Windows-based materials testing software system to control and measure materials tension, compression and bend tests. The detachable controller configuration allows the eXpert 560x to be used in sub-zero or elevated-temperature chambers.

"The eXpert 560x is the logical extension of our tabletop testing line," said Richard Gedney, ADMET founder and president. "It incorporates the latest technology and can be configured in a number of ways to accommodate virtually any low force product or materials testing situation. We expect it to be a popular product for metals, plastics, medical and a number of other industries, in both laboratory and production environments."

ADMET's component approach allows test engineers to integrate custom fixturing required for specialized materials/product testing. A wide range of standard grips and fixtures is also available from ADMET. The eXpert 560x line meets or exceeds ASTM ASTM
