MTI  Electromechanical Universal Testing Machine Systems are offered in ten standard capacities ranging from 5 kN to 450 kN (1,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds) force.  All systems are fully computer controlled, and include a state-of-the-art Pentium IV computer data-acquisition and control system with full PC features and capability including data-base analysis and networking.  Testing can be controlled based upon Displacement, Load, Stress or Strain. 

The full MTI Testing Programs library is included with each system.

Significant cost savings can result if you own an outdated frame which is mechanically sound.  A PHOENIX Reconstruction to create a state-of-the-art Universal Testing Machine from your old load frame might be an attractive alternative to the purchase of a new system. 

Special requirements may dictate Custom System Designs which  are a service of Measurements Technology.

Testing Fixtures of all required types are available.  If your requirement is not part of our standard offering then contact MTI for a solution.

Specialized applications and research programs might require additional instruments such as Extensometers and Signal Conditioners.  MTI offered the first biaxial strain sensor in 1979, and continues to provide our advanced designs to users throughout the world.  User friendly multi-channel signals conditioners have also long been one of our standard products.

Our newest testing system is the MTI Mini-Frame.  This system is offered with all of the control and data analysis capability of our standard systems, but the loading frame is a compact unit which easily fits on any laboratory desk top.  The 1,000 and 2,000 pounds force systems are only 18 inches wide and 31 inches tall, but offer full universal testing capabilities and support the full MTI testing programs library.  The system can be provided with extended test-bay height if required, and force capacity can be increased to 5,000 pounds at a slight increase in load frame width. 

This complete system is priced at $12,000 including the load frame, control and data-acquisition computer system, full testing program library, load cell, tensile universal joint, extensometer input channel and automatic displacement measurement.
