- T10 (up to 10 kN, travel 700 mm with dual screw)
- T10-1200 (up to 10 kN, travel 1200 mm with dual screw)
- T20 (up to 20 kN, travel 1000 mm, max. sample width 400 mm with dual screw)
- T25 (up to 25 kN, travel 1000 mm, max. sample width 400 mm with dual screw)
- T30 (up to 30 kN, travel 1000 mm, max. sample width 400 mm with dual screw)
- T50 (up to 50 kN, travel 1000 mm, max. sample width 400 mm with dual screw)
Options
- Extensometer or a second load cell
Software
The standard unit is able to work without a PC in two modes:
- Constant speed regulation: During test it shows actual values of force and load. After the test it shows the maximum value of force and the max. extension. Break force is also visible.
- Constant force regulation: A preset value of force is kept during an adjustable time. The programme can be changed via a PC and RS-232. The languages (German, English, Spanish, French, Danish and Italian) are only switchable on the LCD.
Standard delivery includes a basic-program for Microsoft Windows® to move the unit, collect and save data, printout and statistics.
