Automatic extensometer.

SIE-560 series extensometers incorporate the company's digital strain processing engine to improve the capturing and processing of sensor results. The SIE-560 and SIE560S employ magnetic-induction linear sensors, as well as strain-gauge sensors, to deliver results with better information and a higher level of repeatability, according to the company. Extensometers are used to determine crucial strength characteristics in modern materials. The quality of results from these devices is said to be directly affected by a range of factors, including sensor performance and measurement data processing. These extensometers use high-accuracy magnetic induction linear sensors which are said to be light, compact and capable of measurement accuracy significantly superior to conventional sensors in both small and large elongation ranges. The SIE-560 series uses the company's digital strain processing engine, a high-speed CPU that is said to measure sensor outputs at high resolution and then rapidly process the large volumes of data. Realtime digital calibration of the engine allows highly repeatable data output that itself contributes to greater accuracy, according to the manufacturer. (Shimadzu Scientific Instruments)
