New dynamometers for material testing

Represented in Italy by DGTS, Ametek Test & Calibration Instruments has extended its Chatillon range of material testing systems, introducing two new dynamometers, CS225 and CS1100. Both are single-column machines that feature last-generation linear guide technology, preloaded ball bearings and compensation systems, and therefore perform displacement measurements with the greatest possible accuracy.
Other innovative features include a robust 8.9 inches touchscreen panel (IP65), which is dust protected and splash proof. Reliable and easy to use, it is specifically designed for use in industrial environments and has two levels of access (Supervisor and Operator). Its easy operation makes it suitable for use by non-skilled personnel: its operation is intuitive and a few touches are sufficient to carry out different types of testing (tensile, compression, sheer, flexural or multi-stage) in accordance with the ISO and ASTM standards or to select test runs and generate reports.
CS225 and CS1100 have a maximum load capacity of 1000 and 5000 N, respectively. Both have a working area and can be equipped with a wide range of terminals, accessories and extensometers.
