- Applications: Suitable for testing smaller and lighter materials like plastics, rubber, textiles, and small components. An ideal solution for laboratories with limited space.
- Cost and Mobility: Generally cheaper and easier to move due to their smaller size and lighter weight.
Dual-Column Universal Testing Machines
- Design and Capacity: Designed for high-capacity applications, dual-column UTMs range from 500 lbs to 100,000 lbs. They feature two columns for increased stability.
- Applications: Used for testing metals, composites, building materials, and other large or high-strength specimens. Achieves precise alignment and minimizes deflection during testing.
- Cost and Durability: More expensive but offer higher durability, stability, and precision. Suitable for demanding testing environments.
Advantages of Dual-Column UTMs
- Stability and Precision: Provide superior stability, reducing load frame deflection during testing.
- Flexibility: They are capable of performing a broad range of tests, making them suitable for many different types of testing applications.
- Long-term Investment: Higher initial cost but better long-term investment for high-capacity testing and precise measurements.
Our TM-EML - Dual-Column Floor-Standing Universal Testing System is specifically designed as a dual-column system, supporting high-capacity testing and high-precision measurements. This dual-column configuration guarantees that the machine can handle a broad spectrum of material testing needs.
